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.
Ah, ah
Weren't you the one who said
That I would be nothin?
Well I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true
I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds
When nobody's around to see
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment
You knew it all along
I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said?
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
By trusting in yourself
Forget everyone else
Believe
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment
Haters, said I'd see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy
'Cause I'm 'bout to blow up
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment
Weren't you the one who said
That I would be nothin?
Well I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true
I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds
When nobody's around to see
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment
You knew it all along
I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said?
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
By trusting in yourself
Forget everyone else
Believe
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment
Haters, said I'd see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy
'Cause I'm 'bout to blow up
This is my moment
My moment
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment
My moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
This is my moment

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.

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.

I think this song is about drugs.
