In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You're attractive, little witch, you're beautiful
Your wickedness, little witch, it broke my heart
Enchanting words, little witch, you cast a spell
Mass destroyer, little witch, my beautiful apocalypse
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night
I tricked you to fall in love, little boy
I played with you till I was done, like a toy
Your heart in love, as I destroy the end of you (The end of me)
So easily fooled little boy to think it's true (I'm in love with you)
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you, burn in hell witch
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night
Your wickedness, little witch, it broke my heart
Enchanting words, little witch, you cast a spell
Mass destroyer, little witch, my beautiful apocalypse
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night
I tricked you to fall in love, little boy
I played with you till I was done, like a toy
Your heart in love, as I destroy the end of you (The end of me)
So easily fooled little boy to think it's true (I'm in love with you)
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you now burn in hell
Now is the time, now is the hour
To take back my heart, to take back my power
This is the moment to break your spell
I see right through you, burn in hell witch
You've got me bewitched 'cause I'm under your spell, oh-ooh
You must be a witch 'cause I am living in hell, oh-ooh
Now is the time, now is the hour
I am the magic, I am the power, oh
All I need is one star in the sky
Wish for you every night

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
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.
This song realy suprised me when i first hurd it i didnt understand but know im like OMGNESS its so awesome it was liike the second or third song i had everherd by BODF
I love this song and I just have to say it is one of their best <3
The meaning is really deep, its about a bunch of scene small dick queers who want to have a drag party with their 8 year old friends while drugging them and Dahvie sticking his swoop haircut penis up another toddlers nasal cavity
I think its him singing about being swindled by a girl who took advantage of him, but he was too in love in the beginning to realize. however when he did realize, it was too late.
I tricked you to fall in love, little boy I played with you till' I was done, like a toy Heart in love, As I destroy the end of you. (THE END OF ME) So easily fooled little boy to think it's true (I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU)
this suggests that she went into the 'relationship' with no intention to play fair and to screw him around.
Now is the time, now is the hour To take back my heart, to take back my power This is the moment to break your spell I see right through you... Burn in hell witch
this is when he comes to terms with her true self and now is on the path of recovery "take back my heart, to take back my power". But he's bitter over her mistreatment of him "burn in hell witch"
even the word he uses to describe her "witch" suggests he no longer likes her and this song is obviously after her betrayal of him and now he has "woken up" to her trickery "witch" "under your spell" both depict this.
