@[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.
Au long de ma défaite, les conséquences vécues
Répète et répète jusqu'au sommeil
Personne ne reste
Personne ne reste
Personne ne reste
Another life, another weekend
Another lonely roller looking for a friend
A blood eye kin, an empty vessel
He's probably crazy but he knows it's gonna end
Look at your face, look in the mirror
You see your eye light and you close your eyes
Look at the lights, look at the city
Who's gonna be here when everybody dies
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Until then, that will listen
No one is lost
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies
Until then, that will listen
No one is lost
Another life, another weekend
Another message checker looking for a friend
You got a pulse, you got a problem
We know the real you so why do you pretend?
The velvet rose, the self ???
Because I shiver in the high heel shoes
But what's inside, I feel it winning
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Until then, that will listen
No one is lost
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Put your hands up if you know you're gonna lose
Until then, that will listen
No one is lost
No one is lost
No one is lost
Back to the crib, back to the castle
The bottle's empty and my bed's unmade
You have the lips, you have a lover
You're being brave but we know that you're afraid
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid, yeah
Until then, that will listen
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid
No one is lost
No one is lost
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Put your hands up if you ever feel afraid, yeah

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
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.
Having been in this situation myself, I feel like it's a lot of the club/bar crawling to find a meaningful connection with someone. And failing. Females dolling themselves up and "shiver in the high heels".
"Another life, another weekend" of going out. The "lights", the "city", it's all incredibly dazzling - especially when drunk. We're somewhere else when we're drunk, like "an empty vessel".
But there's the peppy, upbeat, optimistic layer - sometimes it's disheartening, especially "another weekend". We're afraid, and to hide that we're putting on this bravado and swagger because there's a chance of getting laid.
But there's still hope out there. And no one is lost.
This song opens with a french spoken word verse:
Au lendemain de fête Les consequences vécu Répète et répète jusqu'au au sommeil Personne ne reste Personne ne reste Personne ne reste
Which google tells me means:
The day after the party The consequences Repeats and repeats until sleep No one remains No one remains No one remains
This sets the scene foe some sort of Sisyphean tale of party life. Which seems devoid of meaning. The music begins.
It's sounds are taken from club music. Wide electric "strings" have soft distorted attacks that begin to sharpen as a synth plays out a melody which is joined by a drum machine and a picked electric guitar. These elements come together to form an upbeat club feel with where the chorus is repeated over techno style buildups. We are asked to put our hands up like an audience at an EDM show, but instead of exalting in the false immortality of youth we are asked to rejoice in the steady continuation towards death:
Put your hands up 'cause everybody dies.
The verses set the scene of club entrances and loneliness. Of waiting for some sort of absolution which we presumably get from the chorus.
In this way the fabricated moments of dance club joy are re-purposed to help assuage the fear of death. It is both critical of the feeling of community in the club (is it meaningless?) and yet sympathetic to this party (we are encouraged to participate). Later choruses expand this to the feeling of loss and the fear or loss. Amy tells us than until the moment we die / lose we are still alive and we can still win. Interestingly, the last chorus asks us to participate if we ever feel afraid which recognizes the emotional reaction we have to death and loss, but by this point we are already dancing too much to care about these things.
