This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's funny that when I die my friends will get to see
What kind of suit my mom buries me in
I hope it's dark blue with blue stars
When the priest leans over me
And starts talking about Jesus
And the state of my soul, please remind him
We're having a funeral here, not a play
Pick me up, four for each side of the box
March me to the shiny black car
Long winding procession of cars
Mostly of silver and black
Gentlemen in black suits and the ladies in black
Dresses and gloves
Now carry me out to the grave
The spot where I've paid to be buried
And just before whoever gives the command
To send my body down
I'll jump out of the box and tap dance
From head to bald head
I'll swoop and I'll spin, I'll rise and dive down again
I'll laugh like a baby, so happy and free
And no one will see, no one will notice me
What kind of suit my mom buries me in
I hope it's dark blue with blue stars
When the priest leans over me
And starts talking about Jesus
And the state of my soul, please remind him
We're having a funeral here, not a play
Pick me up, four for each side of the box
March me to the shiny black car
Long winding procession of cars
Mostly of silver and black
Gentlemen in black suits and the ladies in black
Dresses and gloves
Now carry me out to the grave
The spot where I've paid to be buried
And just before whoever gives the command
To send my body down
I'll jump out of the box and tap dance
From head to bald head
I'll swoop and I'll spin, I'll rise and dive down again
I'll laugh like a baby, so happy and free
And no one will see, no one will notice me

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
