@[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.
You know sometimes I think God
Is playing a little game with me
Looking down from heaven laughing
And tryna see how much I can take
Because the way things go, its like a joke.
Nobody's had more shots at the moon and missed than me
Its like I got my life stuck stuck on rewind
Trying to make something of myself life's got something else in mind.
I'm fighting a losing game and I'm biding my time
You wont be my man do I understand? No, stop
I don't want to hear another word about you 'why not's',
I bought your bullshit it all before now you trying to sell me more babe
A man who makes a beast out of himself, got nothing to lose
Sold my soul long ago, nothing left to choose.
I'm tired, tired of singing the blues
I'm tired oooh
I'm walking down the streets you wouldn't know what I was thinking
It's just another white girl day, hey ribbons in my hair, and I am sinking down
A double life a sorted past, and I am drinking now
I want to be bad
You say you were glad to see me shut up
I don't want to know another thing you think you know about me
I'm not who you think I am smiling but I ain't happy
A man who makes a beast out of himself, got nothing to lose
Sold my soul a long ago, nothing I can choose.
I'm tired tired of singing the blues
I'm tired oooh
Ohh my soul forgot, I cant turn off my mind is like a ticking time bomb
Trying to kill me from inside,
I mean day and night
Is there no remedy for memory?
I've felt this way before I've known the depths of desperation
My boyfriend says I'm like an old movie star with loneliness as my occupation
I know that he's right but I don't care tonight
I want to be bad I want to be bad I cant stop
I keep running around the same town knocking you down I'm fucked
How can I get out when there's nowhere to go for miles around?
A man who makes a beast out of himself, got nothing to lose
Sold my soul long ago, nothing I can choose.
I'm tired tired of singing the blues
Tired oooh
Ohh ohh ohhh
ooohh ohhh ohhh

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.

Plastic Bag

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.
I really like this son it sounds all angry and cool. Anyway, I think its about how she feels like everything in her life goes wrong, and that everything bad that could happen, does happen. I guess she's tired of letting it get her down and she's accepted it all and will try to enjoy her life anyway. I don't really know, that's just what I think.
