@[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.
three heavy stones will keep them from floating
weigh it down to the bottom
food for the fishes
and i know that it won't be discovered
cuz i will be careful, so very careful
what if it doesn't rain for days,
and the river is reduced to it's muddy bed?
with the corpse exposed, i would work in haste
and i might bury the bones in a shallow grave
and the rain comes and moves the rocks and the stones
washes away all the dirt and the mud flows
bones are exposed and well, you know how that goes
i wait for the day when i'll finally defile
the bodies of my ex lover's lovers
i'll pile, high to the sky, the bodies of my ex lover's lovers
die die die die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
i saw you with him, you look so happy
all of that can change, cuz i am so lonely
and i have lots of time to send you straight to the devil
i'm taking my time to plan your demise
what if i were to cut you up?
and mail each part to a different town
it would take the most brilliant private eye
the rest of his life just to put you together
a piece in each mailbox all over the planet
from moscow to tokyo to guadalajara
i wait for the day when i'll finally defile the bodies of my
ex lover's lovers
i'll pile, high to the sky, the bodies of my ex lover's lovers
i wait for the day when i'll finally destroy the bodes of my
ex lover's lovers
i'll pile, high to the sky, the bodies of my ex lover's lovers
die die die die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
i saw you with him, you look so happy
that will never change
because i know myself too well
i don't have the courage to carry out my dreams
and only there will i see them
die die die die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them
die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die
die die die die die die die die die die die
i'd watch them die

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.

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.
I've felt just like that; to kill my ex lover's lover
