This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
My name's Dizzee Ras an' I entertain
I got a hot head but I use my brain
A lot of wicked MC's but we ain't the same
I got flows and money gotta put em' to shame
'Cause I'm big in the game and livin' with fame
You late in the lane, no name what you tryna claim
Tryna test my frame, what do you think your tryin' to gain
Put the mic down don't try and game
Grime had a little time without me still no grime without me
No life without me, no risky roads, no grime daily
I'm still shady, fuck you pay me
If you don't like it fuck replace me
Oh my God are you fucking crazy
I seen it all no fuckin' face me
Sleep on me, you're just fucking lazy
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
I-I-I'm so heavy
I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
Heavy
Wake up and slap yourself
Better still get a schrap and prep yourself
You ain't heavy yourself
You can't catch yourself
Keep running your mouth, just relax yourself
Doing over class, rest you're ass you're too fast
Can't carry on like that you won't last
What the rass, who's the rass, there's no rass
Over here hits on the MC do ask
Like sippidy do da, I bust a lil' groove and take a plane to Aruba
I got next moves like Lex Luger
But there ain't no cattin' for free, I just do ya
No leg drop just a head drop
I don't care if the bulldog dreadlock
Afro, blonde, ginger or red top it's all the same,
All y'all see is the red dot
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
I-I-I'm so heavy
I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
Heavy
Ah forget it, you just don't get it
I got pure figures I don't need street credit
I can pay with cash or I can pay with debit
Or I can do it the old way and leg it
Big up the Bow E3 I still rep it
I still name check it
Nothing but L.O.V
You can't dead it
But big up the KNT cause I said it
Nah I don't leg it, I ride on it
Super sonic, buy land on it
Spend a few hundred grand on it
Still ride around with a v on my bonnet
Making her vomit cause I blew up like tiptronic
We smoke cheese round here we don't smoke chronic
It's no joke, when you talk you choke on it
Tie a rope on it, but don't hold on to it
Puff puff pass but don't loaf on it
Cause'
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
I-I-I'm so heavy
I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy
I-I-I'm so heavy
I'm so heavy, I'm on point all day
Better stay out my way
I don't play and you're not ready
All I can say is I'm so heavy

@[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
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.
