This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
six feet of earth, above my head
keeps me safe from what she said
six walls of wood to keep them out
the smart remarks, the screams, the shouts
they scream, they shout
there's only one way to drown them out
i hear your voice, i hit the ground
you look for me, but i'm not around
in that small cafe, there i wrote it down
i look for you, you were not around
you're the burning lie that kills my child
he's gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
some come to pay their last respects
or beckon me to come around
they leave dried flowers in the air
or place their feelings on the doorstep
at first they try to understand
and offer plans, most futile plans
and here in this darkness i can see
your skins the closest thing to grace
it dances like ghosts upon my fingers
and feelings fly, they're still alive
there's only one way to drown them out
i hear your voice, i hit the ground
you look for me, but i'm not around
in that small cafe, there i wrote it down
i look for you, you were not around
you're the burning lie that kills my child
she's gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
underground
six feet of earth, above my head
don't keep me safe from what she said
six walls of wood don't keep them out
these frightful screams come from inside
they lay with me here through the night
keeps me safe from what she said
six walls of wood to keep them out
the smart remarks, the screams, the shouts
they scream, they shout
there's only one way to drown them out
i hear your voice, i hit the ground
you look for me, but i'm not around
in that small cafe, there i wrote it down
i look for you, you were not around
you're the burning lie that kills my child
he's gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
some come to pay their last respects
or beckon me to come around
they leave dried flowers in the air
or place their feelings on the doorstep
at first they try to understand
and offer plans, most futile plans
and here in this darkness i can see
your skins the closest thing to grace
it dances like ghosts upon my fingers
and feelings fly, they're still alive
there's only one way to drown them out
i hear your voice, i hit the ground
you look for me, but i'm not around
in that small cafe, there i wrote it down
i look for you, you were not around
you're the burning lie that kills my child
she's gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
i've gone underground
underground
six feet of earth, above my head
don't keep me safe from what she said
six walls of wood don't keep them out
these frightful screams come from inside
they lay with me here through the night

@[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.
Magical

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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.
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.
Six walls of wood, six feet of earth - coffin, underground.
Damned if I have any idea beyond that, but the lyrics are strangely beautiful, especially the "here in this darkness I can see, your skin is the closest thing to grace" - could be mourning a dead lover and wishing he was with her, even in death. He looks for her still, but she's not around - and possibly she was with child, of a not-yet-known to the narrator gender? ("You're the burning lie that killed my child, she/he's gone underground").
Beautiful song, though.
