@[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 stand there all alone and try to think of what I said
But this unfamiliar tongue just keeps on ringing in your head
Everything you've known is what I'm bringing to an end
The situation that you're in is you're preaching it instead
It's what it is, enough of this, the shit you talk is nothing
Keep on breaking what I love in this, and that is why it's coming
Is I'm jumping and confronting and you plan to stop with none of this
Now you see how fun it is to believe you're buried under it
You think you're special, you think I have to follow you
Just scratching, guessing I'm not the person you assumed
You think you're special, think I have to follow you
Now what you gonna do when I break the split you wanna do
You underestimated me
I'll be the one to haunt you in your dreams
And when the ashes rest you'll see
I'll have torn you from your land of make believe
I wish you had the courage and the heart to use your brain
'Cause you're wicked on the surface, and you're partially insane
You think it serves no purpose and it's unfairly in vain
Your slippers ain't working and your hopes are far away
Now you're stuck here out of luck
You stand there thinking how the fuck
It's loud enough to sound you're nuts
Your house is spinning round the block
Now before this happened
I'm to show you don't you fuck the gun
And now you spun around because
You may be what the coward was
You think you're special, think I have to follow you
Just scratching, guessing I'm not the person you assumed
You think you're special, think I have to follow you
Now what you gonna do when I break the split you wanna do
You underestimated me
I'll be the one to haunt you in your dreams
And when the ashes rest you'll see
I'll have torn you from your land of make believe
Don't fall asleep
Cause you can't run from me
Don't fall asleep
Cause you can't run from me (You can't run from me)
I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
Don't fall asleep
Love is not meant for me (It's not meant for me)
I'm coming for you
Yeah, I'm coming for you
You think you're special, think I have to follow you
Now what you gonna do when I break the split you wanna do
You underestimated me
I'll be the one to haunt you in your dreams
And when the ashes rest you'll see
I'll have torn you from your land of make believe
Don't fall asleep
Cause you can't run from me (You can't run from me)
I'm coming for you
Yeah, I'm coming for you

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.
