@[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.
Her lips are lightning
She's the nightwater queen
My satisfaction grows
I cross my t's
She could make me so love-stoned
Don't turn your power on me
I'm not ready for defeat
I went so crazy for a week
I'm not crazy but I can't sleep
Nightwater girlfriend
Diving in the lake with your bad friends
Take me there tonight
Don't turn your power on me (x2)
Tell me about your boyfriend
Did he ever swim to the end?
And did your dad get mad at 3am?
Did he ask you where we've been?
Say no
Don't turn your power on me
I'm not ready for defeat
I went so crazy for a week
I'm not crazy but I can't think
Nightwater girlfriend
Diving in the lake with your bad friends
Take me there tonight
Don't turn your power on me (x2)
Nightwater girlfriend
Getting high in the backseat
Never change, never let them win
Don't turn your power on me (x2)
Only you can make me glow
Satisfaction, all I know
Nightwater girl, I'm sold
Opportunities, only gold
Diving down deep for your heart again
Diving so deep, don't bend
Nightwater girlfriend
Diving in the lake with your bad friends
I'm in love with you
Don't turn your power on me (x2)

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.
