This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Woman driving Mans sleeping,
With a suitcase on the rack,
White lines shootin by,
On the pavement like the sky
Looking straight ahead into the black
Woman driving, man sleeping
There's no radio to play
Sitting with the map
Laying crumpled on her lap
Look for the toll money to pay
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walking and knocking on doors
Woman driving man sleeping
Passin all the other cars
Searching in the black
But never turning to look back
A little metal box under the stars
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walkin and knockin on doors
Woman driving man sleeping
Woman driving man sleeping
With a suitcase on the rack,
White lines shootin by,
On the pavement like the sky
Looking straight ahead into the black
Woman driving, man sleeping
There's no radio to play
Sitting with the map
Laying crumpled on her lap
Look for the toll money to pay
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walking and knocking on doors
Woman driving man sleeping
Passin all the other cars
Searching in the black
But never turning to look back
A little metal box under the stars
Man sleeping is man dreaming
In a large apartment house
Walkin and knockin on doors
Woman driving man sleeping
Woman driving man sleeping

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
A quick google search yielded this page: [cs.stir.ac.uk/~twi/eels/womandrivingmansleeping.html], where there is a quote from the artist: "It's about being in between two things, they've left something behind and they're heading towards something else."
The woman isn't leaving the man--it's exactly the opposite. They're heading out into the void together to start a new life. The man is dreaming about their future together (there will be plenty of doors to be knocked on, i.e. opportunities) and he's content to sleep while she chooses the path they will take.
I think the little metal box reference is meant to show how small they feel compared to the universe (the stars). But they don't care! They are in charge of their fate. And the possibilities, like the universe, are endless.
This reminds me of a quote from the Naked Gun: "Perhaps the love of a man and a woman doesn't amount to a hill of beans, but this is our hill, and these are our beans."
Lovely song.
