This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Meet our band of merry men
Shake the hand of every one
We'll eat your food and steal your wives
Buy us beers we're friends for life
We only shoot when shot at
We give away what we don't need
We live for fun and freedom
We stamp out fear and greed
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
We sleep on floors and live on crumbs
We're a bunch of ugly bums
A great idea when we were smashed
Turning anger into cash
We ain't seen much
But we don't starve
We drive around
In our mom's cars
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
That's right, we're Too Much Joy
We're like the reverse Buddha
'Cause Buddha teaches you
To give up the things in this world, they only tie you down
And Too Much Joy knows it's the opposite that is true
It's the puddle of beer on the floor of the club that stinks
That ties you to this world and makes you know you're alive
It's only having two dollars to fill up your car with gas
and ?
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
Shake the hand of every one
We'll eat your food and steal your wives
Buy us beers we're friends for life
We only shoot when shot at
We give away what we don't need
We live for fun and freedom
We stamp out fear and greed
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
We sleep on floors and live on crumbs
We're a bunch of ugly bums
A great idea when we were smashed
Turning anger into cash
We ain't seen much
But we don't starve
We drive around
In our mom's cars
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
That's right, we're Too Much Joy
We're like the reverse Buddha
'Cause Buddha teaches you
To give up the things in this world, they only tie you down
And Too Much Joy knows it's the opposite that is true
It's the puddle of beer on the floor of the club that stinks
That ties you to this world and makes you know you're alive
It's only having two dollars to fill up your car with gas
and ?
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song was referrenced by Newt Gingrich when he was speaker of the house. he used the 'to create you must destroy' phrase. The band dind't take too kindly to that.
@cactusdave Yeah, but they are a lot older now. It's tough to maintain a liberal world view once reality sets in and there are bills to pay.
