@[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.
Travel so far
I've got to get myself back
Move so far from you
And you so true
Well let me get myself back
Never going to wander again
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Was seeing the old moon
Walking past the door
He had freedom eyes
His home was the skies
And he beckoned me to his side
He said come let's go, let's go
Freedom road
Just you and me
Bring the sun
If you feel you need some warm company
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Move so close to you
And you're still true
It's good to have you smile back
Get back get back get back
I'll let you lead the way
Never going to wander again
Don't say
You've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
Should be no one but me
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
I've traveled so far to be
Get back get back get back
Was feeling how your body moved
Watching the leaves blow in the trees
Then I thought of your touch
And that reminds me of your kiss
And I almost drove myself insane
Don't say you've stopped loving me
Think up as I go how you're gonna
Outshine the sun and moon
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me
I've got to get myself back
Move so far from you
And you so true
Well let me get myself back
Never going to wander again
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Was seeing the old moon
Walking past the door
He had freedom eyes
His home was the skies
And he beckoned me to his side
He said come let's go, let's go
Freedom road
Just you and me
Bring the sun
If you feel you need some warm company
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Move so close to you
And you're still true
It's good to have you smile back
Get back get back get back
I'll let you lead the way
Never going to wander again
Don't say
You've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
Should be no one but me
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
I've traveled so far to be
Get back get back get back
Was feeling how your body moved
Watching the leaves blow in the trees
Then I thought of your touch
And that reminds me of your kiss
And I almost drove myself insane
Don't say you've stopped loving me
Think up as I go how you're gonna
Outshine the sun and moon
Don't say you've stopped loving me
'Cause there by your side
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
