@[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.
Yo, I know what I'm tryna say is on the tip of my tongue
It's like my thoughts have been erased, that's all as if I was dumb
I should of met her when she asked, I was out getting plastered
She waitin' for my speech but the cat got my tongue
Acting like I've gone and won at the Oscars, speechless
Careful with my words there's no way I can cheat this
Lost 'em again, now someone give me a pen
I need to write these lessons down and maybe give 'em to friends
I can't promise that I won't be a fool again
But I never had cruel intentions
Put me in detention as long as you want
Then you'll see
There's a million words but it's never enough
I say, 'I love you', 'I'm sorry' but still I get stuck
If I had a coin for every time, we could be millionaires
But you don't need the diamonds
'Cause I got a million ways to show you that I care
She isn't in it for the cash flow, the girl's independent
She don't expect pendants or remnants or necklaces
She only wants to trust me and don't want to fuss me
But all of this depends on whether I behave recklessly
I never meant to lie to her, the truth wouldn't hurt
But I just dig myself into a hole and she goes berserk
Lost it again, who'd have thought that us men
Would break down when we fell and behave like we're 10?
I can't promise that I won't be a fool again
But I never had cruel intentions
You put me in the dark house as long as you want
Then you'll see
There's a million words but it's never enough
I say, 'I love you', 'I'm sorry' but still I get stuck
If I had a coin for every time, we could be millionaires
But you don't need the diamonds
'Cause I got a million ways to show you that I care
I should be raising the bar high, avoiding the bar low
I'll write a million songs for you as if I was Barlow
'Cause you're my Bridget Bardot, my precious cargo
I'm tryna speak my mind but I don't get very far though
Say something inappropriate and look like a fool
In my head it sounded funny but your face says it all
I'll probably lose you again for a day, maybe 10
We're broken for a minute, doesn't mean it's the end
There's a million words but it's never enough
I say, 'I love you', 'I'm sorry' but still I get stuck
And if I had a coin for every time, we could be millionaires
But you don't need the diamonds
'Cause I got a million ways to show you that I care
There's a million words but it's never enough
I say, 'I love you', 'I'm sorry' but still I get stuck
If I had a coin for every time, we could be millionaires
But you don't need the diamonds
'Cause I got a million ways to show you that I care

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
