This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hindsight's given me
Too much memory
There's too much never seen
But it's always there
It's everywhere
Taking my own advice
Worked out for me nice
Now I've come to find
The tricks we play
With human brains
They don't wanna think about the other side
Is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake
'Cause that's all we've been told
Since we were five years old
Is that all we'll ever know
Hindsight brings me down
Keeps me on the ground
Though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare if you weren't there
Think we're getting up
Feels like giving up
Feels like not enough
You eat a crumb and waste a loaf
They don't wanna talk about the other side
Where the grass was greener than they said
This doesn't bring to mind
What I'd expect to find
They must be colorblind
What about Canada
What about Canada
This paradise with pines and ice
Morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
Batting two ideas with no surprise
Wait 'til the wild has rights
Then never lock doors at night
Kiss all those wars goodbye
Too much memory

But it's always there
It's everywhere
Taking my own advice

Is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake
'Cause that's all we've been told
Since we were five years old
Is that all we'll ever know
Hindsight brings me down
Keeps me on the ground
Though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare if you weren't there

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Feelin' it's about Canada. Would anyone care to agree?
