@[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.
Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again
Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Tryna take a picture of the sun
And it won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again
Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Tryna take a picture of the sun
And it won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again

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.

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
It's about how when a relationship ends and for a while, you try to move on from it and for a while, you succeed. Then, out of the blue, you see or hear something that reminds you of the ex-lover (i.e., a song from a musician/band they like is playing on the radio, or you read the newspaper and find them or a relative of theirs on the page you're reading. Then, everything goes back to them, and you remember everything that happened in the relationship when you and they were together. I thought I was over my ex-boyfriend until I heard songs from Aerosmith and Jason Aldean on the radio, and I also saw obituaries of his dead relatives in the newspaper, and I thought he would flip out when the reporter put his birth name on the survivor list because he hated it when I called him that. I now have those obituaries and an article about his grandmother stashed somewhere in my house.
I think its about remembering how tough it is to give your heart to someone, then ultimately break up. Then when you meet someone else, you are a little bitter and more careful about falling in love.

he is getting back with the same woman that broke his heart the first time around.
The lyric video for this is pretty awesome. It's nice to see some artistry put into the effort, something that expands the imaginative possibilities rather than limits them.
Took me a moment to understand. This is the wrong song title (it's NEARLY Forgot My Broken Heart). <br /> <br /> Anyway. <br /> <br /> I believe that the theme here in the song is Eternal Recurrence, as best as I can understand the concept as I've read it. The idea of themes that play again and again throughout our lives. Not just behavioral, but in actual circumstance of environment. This seems (to me) to be a subject touched on by many artists. (Cindy Lauper - Time After Time?) <br /> <br /> The Seinfeld Snickers Bar episode (well, kind of the whole show, but this episode in particular) is an illustration of this concept, I think. When, without any seeming relationship to any other incident in the show, everyone begins eating their Snickers Bars with forks, something marveled at by the main characters. Something you can observe happening around you over and over again, each thing with no immediately apparent relationship to the other very similar occurrence. <br /> <br /> When it happens too often to just be called "coincidence", but you can't find a causal relationship, what do you call it? <br />
