@[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.
When the frantic pace of life attacks me
And weighs me to the ground
I long for someplace to escape
To the one place I have found
No stoplights to obey
No signs or limits there
Just drop the hook
And make your home almost anywhere
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
The gentle motion of the seas
Just rocks me off to sleep
No sirens, cars or screams
Just quiet ocean breeze
A frigate bird encircles me
A 1000 feet above
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
When the moonlight cracks the edge of night
And stars are everywhere
I can taste the rum and coke
And I can smell that salty air
A light spray across my bow
Cools the evening sun
As it slowly melts into the sea
And tells me day is done
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
When the common themes of life
They come and overload my brain
I steer my thoughts right to that place
That takes me far away
When the traffic fills that concrete path
That takes me back and forth
I usually sit and dream about
That biggest piece of earth
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
Yeah, that's where I belong
Oh, that's where I belong
And weighs me to the ground
I long for someplace to escape
To the one place I have found
No stoplights to obey
No signs or limits there
Just drop the hook
And make your home almost anywhere
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
The gentle motion of the seas
Just rocks me off to sleep
No sirens, cars or screams
Just quiet ocean breeze
A frigate bird encircles me
A 1000 feet above
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
When the moonlight cracks the edge of night
And stars are everywhere
I can taste the rum and coke
And I can smell that salty air
A light spray across my bow
Cools the evening sun
As it slowly melts into the sea
And tells me day is done
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
When the common themes of life
They come and overload my brain
I steer my thoughts right to that place
That takes me far away
When the traffic fills that concrete path
That takes me back and forth
I usually sit and dream about
That biggest piece of earth
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong
Yeah, that's where I belong
Oh, that's where I belong

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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
