@[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.
Soft, soft fade
Circled around
Turn loose goodbye
Switch off
No attempt to look failure is king
Are we ready
Close those lips
Try to lose me three more times
Hush baby now don't say a word
(total fucking chaos)
6:53 and where are you?
Run home, run far
Throw your face in a pillow
Scream out what you can't
Fix that makeup cover your tracks
Yeah your an angel
Avoiding what games, games to play
Was it "less or more or more or less"
Coward
Wisk away the fear
Clear the air
Clear the air and slide
Closer to the edge
Say good night
Final curtain call
Switch off, goodbye.

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.
Magical

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.
Blue

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
the girl will go on a date. the boy doesnt show up. the girl is now a loser. go to sleep instead of going out. its happened to her once again. pretty much what this song tells, except when you hear it, when you hear it, you sort of feel the anger for the hypothetical girl. kick some ass in dillinger pits.
that's a really good analysis, makes heaps of sense. But I think 'throw your face in a pillow' and 'say goodnight' wasn't implying sleep, if that's what u got from it. The pillow thing..you know how you scream into a pillow so you don't make any noise? Not...sleeping on the pillow. I'm probably wrong. But that's how i saw it.
this song is really weird! that time 6:53 keeps coming up. i either remember the lyrics and then look at the clock and it's close to that time or something else. tonight someone asked me at 6:53 and when i told it to someone in the morning he said it's 6:40 right now his time. weird...
I think it's about an unstable girl getting stood up on a date. At first she is sad, but is still hopeful that he'll arrive. As the night goes on logic tells her that he isn't coming, ('No attempt to look, failure is king'), but her optimism forces her to stay. But eventually even she must concede that it's not going to happen ('6:53 and where are you', although that would be a weird time for a date.) and she goes home, distraught ('Run home, run far'). She's naturally really angry ('Throw your face in a pillow. Scream out what you can't.') and she pretty much snaps. So she decides she's going to kill herself, but make herself look as pretty as she can before she does (Fixing her makeup). She takes her own life ('Say goodnight. Switch off, goodbye.'), leaving behind a beautiful corpse, feeling like a film star at the end of a tragic movie.
