@[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.
Get up!
So hold these words up to your chest
Prove to them all why you're the best
And when they say you're just like the rest
It's time to put that courage to the test
So do your very best to tear them down
Until there's nothing left
And while you're swelling on the past
We'll see who's laughing last
You've said enough for both of us, so don't try to deny it
And some things are better left unsaid, but I can't keep this quiet
Well I'm not one to hold a grudge and hide it from the surface
'Cause every single thing I've ever held against you has a purpose
You're good at starting problems for the hell of it
But our difference is that I don't use my past to make me feel relevant
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
And after all the things you said
You should've known how this would end
I've told you once, I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
Well you rolled the dice and now tough luck kid
We're all pissed off, with no fucks to give
'Cause you say that we're cowards and that we're the ones to blame
But we're one in a million and you're all the fucking same
You're so proud of the one-liners you wrote
It must be hard to talk shit with a dick in your throat!
Let's take it back to the top
Whether you're ready or not
You knew that we'd never stop
So bring the best that you got
Maybe this is too much for you
But how dare you even try to
Take my words and turn them inside out
To hide the fact that all your luck ran out
Well who the hell gave you the right
To tell me how to live my life?
And when you said enough is enough
I fought to keep going when the going get tough
You might think you've got me tricked
But you're not hard to see through
So let me make this clear
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
So hold these words up to your chest
Prove to them all why you're the best
And when they say you're just like the rest
It's time to put that courage to the test
So do your very best to tear them down
Until there's nothing left
And while you're swelling on the past
We'll see who's laughing last
You've said enough for both of us, so don't try to deny it
And some things are better left unsaid, but I can't keep this quiet
Well I'm not one to hold a grudge and hide it from the surface
'Cause every single thing I've ever held against you has a purpose
You're good at starting problems for the hell of it
But our difference is that I don't use my past to make me feel relevant
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
And after all the things you said
You should've known how this would end
I've told you once, I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
Well you rolled the dice and now tough luck kid
We're all pissed off, with no fucks to give
'Cause you say that we're cowards and that we're the ones to blame
But we're one in a million and you're all the fucking same
You're so proud of the one-liners you wrote

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.

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.
the meaning behind this song is pretty obvious. In general it is about calling out all the people who talk shit. In the perspective of woe is me, its about calling out the past members (Issues) of the group. Overall, this is one badass song!
