This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Down among the dead the wide-eyed
And the legless only half ahead
Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole
With the mold and faded epitaphs
Will you evermore tie up my hair with velvet bows
Will you evermore pull out the splinters from my toes
I don't think so
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
Pumping poison through my veins
Lying on the star-cross lovers map
Take the beating, lash, lash for lash
Will we evermore kiss on the boardwalk's fading rail
In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tail
I don't think so
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
And the legless only half ahead
Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole
With the mold and faded epitaphs
Will you evermore tie up my hair with velvet bows
Will you evermore pull out the splinters from my toes
I don't think so
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
Pumping poison through my veins
Lying on the star-cross lovers map
Take the beating, lash, lash for lash
Will we evermore kiss on the boardwalk's fading rail
In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tail
I don't think so
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph
No more looking back, looking back
Looking back, faded epitaph

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Here are the correct lyrics. From the insert :) * where corrections are
Down among the dead The wide-eyed and the legless, only half a head Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole With the mold and faded epitaphs
Will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows? Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes? I don't think so
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers Pumping poison through my veins Lying on the star-crossed lover's map Take the beating lash, lash for lash
Will we ever more kiss on the boardwalks fading rail? In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tail I don't think so
