@[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.
The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. hey!
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see, so!
He went back over the mountain to see what he could see. hey!
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see!
You darn fool, you darn fool, can't you plainly see? hey!
It's nothing but a cabbage head his grandma said to me. ho!
Many a-miles I've traveled, a thousand miles or so, hey!
I never saw a head of cabbage with hair upon it before!
What's this cabbage?!

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.
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.
Head > Heels

“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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
These lyrics are very similar to an Irish folk song: "You're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old drunk, until you cannot see. That's a lovely cabbage head that your mamma sent to me. Oh many a times I've traveled a hundred miles or more, but a head of cabbage with hair on it I've never seen before."
There are also other verses, but the point is that a drunk's wife is cheating on him, and when he catches her, she says, that's not another man's stuff, you're just drunk.
Not sure what the reference is supposed to mean in this song though.
its a song about an old cliche' The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see the other side of the mountain was all he could see. Its a cliche used to imply useless repetition.
great rock song. it's also on the soundtrack to "Dumb and dumber".
I've always thought Yogi says: "Hey Boo Boo! Stay right there!" and that Boo Boo says: "OK, Yogi."
I'm fairly certain it's not "Let's scare the ranger."
