In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Hello, yeah, it’s me again – no homo sapien
I’m an ancient alien – was sent to take your women
You could say we’re winning – more than Charlie Sheen is
And don’t get mad at me because your girl was on my dick.
You know that we’re rocking the computer, Steven Hawking
And if that bitch hangs up on me again, you know I’m walking
Like Christopher, never catch me kissin’ on the mistletoe
‘Cause this is missile crisis, time to light ‘em up, GO
Cold woman – she sucked me in
No air – and I’ll never see the light again
I fell into a BLACK HOLE
And I’ll never see the light again.
Don’t get angry bird like I just hopped out the pig pen
I’m used to having hands on me, yeah you can call me Big Ben
It’s time to get stupid – yeah it’s time to get Kardashian
So pour that whisky deep and hand that motherfucking flask again
You’re a massive black hole – you say that I’m the asshole
When I saw you at the last show, you were on me like a shadow
Up the creek, no paddle – tell my Mommy and my Dad oh
I ain’t never coming back – she sucked me in a black…
Cold woman – she sucked me in
No air – and I’ll never see the light again
I fell into a BLACK HOLE
And I’ll never see the light again.
I’m an ancient alien – was sent to take your women
You could say we’re winning – more than Charlie Sheen is
And don’t get mad at me because your girl was on my dick.
You know that we’re rocking the computer, Steven Hawking
And if that bitch hangs up on me again, you know I’m walking
Like Christopher, never catch me kissin’ on the mistletoe
‘Cause this is missile crisis, time to light ‘em up, GO
Cold woman – she sucked me in
No air – and I’ll never see the light again
I fell into a BLACK HOLE
And I’ll never see the light again.
Don’t get angry bird like I just hopped out the pig pen
I’m used to having hands on me, yeah you can call me Big Ben
It’s time to get stupid – yeah it’s time to get Kardashian
So pour that whisky deep and hand that motherfucking flask again
You’re a massive black hole – you say that I’m the asshole
When I saw you at the last show, you were on me like a shadow
Up the creek, no paddle – tell my Mommy and my Dad oh
I ain’t never coming back – she sucked me in a black…
Cold woman – she sucked me in
No air – and I’ll never see the light again
I fell into a BLACK HOLE
And I’ll never see the light again.

@[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.
Blue

“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 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.
