@[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.
In all your life to treasure there,
The precious times,
And times when it's hard to care.
There's moments when
They touch you with that magic touch,
And you shine...
You've shed that skin; it's lying there.
Where are you now?
I hope it's heaven there.
They touch you with that magic touch,
And you shine...
Hold on tight,
And dry those eyes,
And never cry,
'Cause in this world,
You're upside down,
When you first come round.
And in this world,
You're upside down,
When you first come round.
But even when Good seems Bad,
Keep trying to understand,
That maybe if God's on hand,
You might make it...
And Oh,
I miss those days.
All I can say,
Is I miss those days...
The precious times,
And times when it's hard to care.
There's moments when
They touch you with that magic touch,
And you shine...
You've shed that skin; it's lying there.
Where are you now?
I hope it's heaven there.
They touch you with that magic touch,
And you shine...
Hold on tight,
And dry those eyes,
And never cry,
'Cause in this world,
You're upside down,
When you first come round.
And in this world,
You're upside down,
When you first come round.
But even when Good seems Bad,
Keep trying to understand,
That maybe if God's on hand,
You might make it...
And Oh,
I miss those days.
All I can say,
Is I miss those days...

Magical
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.

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.
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.
This song is from the album Sense which also has the song The Life of Riley, which is about the birth of Ian Broudie's son. To me, there are some references to new life in this song too... 'There's moments when they touch you with that magic touch, and you shine...' This line makes me think that you may feel hopeless and down but all this dissolves away when your child is with you.
Also 'And in this world, you're upside down, when you first come round..'
I think this refers to birth as (unless the baby is in breech) we are born head first and upside down so to speak.
The music in this song sort of reminds me of a lullaby too.
Interesting interpretation but to me the song is all about losing a loved one. Possibly a grandparent or older relative.... You've shed that skin; it's lying there.<br /> Where are you now? I hope it's heaven there. And the last verse.... And Oh,<br /> I miss those days.<br /> <br /> All I can say,<br /> Is I miss those days...<br /> This is what makes music so special. We all have our own interpretation about what lyrics mean and in this case the view is exactly opposite (birth and death) but it doesn't stop it being a great song or our enjoyment of it. I just thought that having sung about his son, Riley, this one was at the other end of the spectrum, mourning the loss of a loved Grandad or Mother or favourite Uncle..... <br /> <br /> <br />
