@[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.
Uh, turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtain (yeah)
Oh, let Jah moon come shining in
Into our life again
Sayin', "Ooh, it's been a long, long time"
(Long, long time)
I got this message for you, girl
But it seems I was never on time
Still I wanna get through to you, girly
On time, on time (word)
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good lovin'
(Uh, uh, uh)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Yeah, I want to give you some good, good lovin' (uh)
Turn your lights down low
(Word, w-word, uh)
Never ever try to resist, oh no
(Na, na, na)
Oh, let your love come shinin' in
(Na, na, na)
Into our lives again
(Na, na, na)
Saying ooh, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
And I want you to know right now
(Know right now)
Ooh, I love you
(Uh-uh, yeah, uh)
And I want you to know right now (uh)
That I, that I (na, na, na)
I wanna give you some love (uh, yeah, I)
I wanna give you some good, good lovin' (good, good)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I wanna give you some good, good lovin' (yeah uh-uh)
Loving you is a like a song I replay (loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful)
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day (uh, uh)
And every chorus was written for us to recite (right)
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
This potion might, this ocean might, carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard (uh)
And when I play 'em, every chord is a poem
Tellin' the Lord how grateful I am because I know him (what? word)
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress (uh)
If you askin' then I'm tellin' you it's yes (yes, yes)
Stand in love, take my hand in love, Jah bless (right)
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (yeah)
Turn your lights down low (right, right now)
And pull your window curtain (I said, right, right now)
And let Jah love come tumbling in (right, right now)
Into our lives again (uh, uh, said, right, right now)
Sayin' (sayin' ooh)
Ooh, it's been a long, long time (yeah)
I got this message for you, boy
But it seems I was never on time
Still I wanna get through to you, boy
On time (right, right now), on time (said right, right now, uh)
I want to give you some love (wha-what, yeah, wha-what?)
Oh, how I
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (can you hear me?)
Oh I, oh I, oh I (uh, uh, yeah, it's like)
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (uh)
Yeah, it's like
You, you, you, you, you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good)
Oh I, oh I (uh, yeah-yeah, right, right now)
I wanna give you some good, good lovin' (yo, yo, uh, right right now)
(I wanna, I wanna)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh yeah
What, what, what (feels so good)
Please, don't forget passionate
Babies in the bassinet
You call, we be ready
Ha ha, Ma steady (feels so good)
Yes, yes
Baby love (it feels so)
And pull your window curtain (yeah)

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
