@[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.
No one was too surprised to hear the news that day.
America had raped your sacred land,
And if that wasn't bad enough, your little child
Is lying still because of some fool's bloody plans.
It's been a while since
I've been around, so
I will be there on time.
They thought they'd killed you,
Were only mourning
While your people cried.
And then my so-called brothers in this land of hate
Laughed and shook their fists about the war,
It's terror out of our hands again but still they say,
Democracy and freedom prevailed once more.
It's been a while since
I've been around, so
I will be there on time.
I am the savior,
U.S. behavior
Is far below the slime.
And Moammar told me how it was to lose a child,
And I'll admit I can't imagine why.
My father brought me back to all this fear and pain,
I'll turn the other cheek the day I die.

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.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
If you keep the song going, there's more at the end; almost like a hidden song or something. If you listen to what Doc is saying, it's almost like a love song or something. The only Crucifucks song I've ever heard that features a piano.
we used that piece your talking about (not the savior, but the outro) in our wedding (along with some other songs). It's frickin' beautiful. Lyrics are something like: I'm so lucky that you love me / just the way it was meant to be / making me happy is your specialty / And I Love You / .... (there's more but I'm not sure...)
This song is about the 1986 US Bombings of Libya, in which Muammar al-Gaddafi's 2 year old child was killed. Truly a beautiful song.
