This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
It was late one night
And we had a fight
And is seemed like nothing was going right
Then you turned around and you walked right out the door.
Now it's not the first time
It's not the last
I know all about your checkered past
And we've played this game one thousand times before.
Do you remember the night
I can see it so clear
All the sweet little things that you sang in my ear
There were promises made but I think you forgot what you said.
There's a real fine line between love and hate
And I'm not the type to just sit and wait
I've made up my mind
I can't wait for you anymore
But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
So many days go by
And I still want you so
If it was up to me
I never let you go
You're the only true love in my life
And I want you to know
All this passion and pain
I think I'm going insane
We've got nothing to lose
And so much to gain
If you love me today
Who's to say you might leave me again?
Do you remember the night
I can see it so clear
All the sweet little things
That you sang in my ear
There were promises made but
I think you forgot what you said
There's a real fine line between love and hate
And I'm not the type to just sit and wait
I've made up my mind
I can't wait for you anymore
But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much...
(instrumental interlude)
It was late one night
And we had a fight
And it seemed like nothing was going right
Then you turned around and you walked right out the door
Now its not the first time and its not the last
I know all about your checkered past
And we've played this game one thousand times before...
When we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
When we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
When we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
When we kiss... (repeat to fade)
And we had a fight
And is seemed like nothing was going right
Then you turned around and you walked right out the door.
Now it's not the first time
It's not the last
I know all about your checkered past
And we've played this game one thousand times before.
Do you remember the night
I can see it so clear
All the sweet little things that you sang in my ear
There were promises made but I think you forgot what you said.
There's a real fine line between love and hate
And I'm not the type to just sit and wait
I've made up my mind
I can't wait for you anymore
But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
So many days go by
And I still want you so
If it was up to me
I never let you go
You're the only true love in my life
And I want you to know
All this passion and pain
I think I'm going insane
We've got nothing to lose

And when we touch
It means so much
When we kiss... (repeat to fade)

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
