This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Be what you wanna be, see what you wanna see
You're going to anyway
Take what you need from me
All that you'll ever be is something so crazy
And you can find another side to be on
If you wish you can
Or you can choose the other way
'Cause it is right there in your hands
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
You're so lazy, you're so crazy
You got me crazy in my head
What you're wastin' is what you're chasin'
And it's right there in your hands
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
'Cause you're greater than but less than what you are
'Cause you're greater than but less than you come from
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no, oh, no, oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no
(Time is on her knees)
Oh, no, oh, no
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
'Cause you're greater than but less than what you are
'Cause you're greater than but less than you come from
You're going to anyway
Take what you need from me
All that you'll ever be is something so crazy
And you can find another side to be on
If you wish you can
Or you can choose the other way
'Cause it is right there in your hands
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
You're so lazy, you're so crazy
You got me crazy in my head
What you're wastin' is what you're chasin'
And it's right there in your hands
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
'Cause you're greater than but less than what you are
'Cause you're greater than but less than you come from
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no, oh, no, oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no
(Time is on her knees)
Oh, no, oh, no
And you can mistake it for anything that you want
And you can erase it with everything that you're on
'Cause you're greater than but less than what you are
'Cause you're greater than but less than you come from

@[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.

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's not "Greater Than/Less Than", it's "Greater Than Less Than"
