@[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.
You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back.
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack.
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all.
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how.
Cuz your gone and you ain't coming back.
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back.
You held your hand so close,
And I just can't push you away.
I wished you could be my girl,
But you're stuck in your own world.
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back.
And I spit you words right back.
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack.
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all.
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how.
Cuz your gone and you ain't coming back.
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back.
You held your hand so close,
And I just can't push you away.
I wished you could be my girl,
But you're stuck in your own world.
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
(repeat second)
(repeat third)
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back.

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.

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.
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.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
"beautiful and so untouchable" is probably saying how the girl feels like she has isolated herself and how she feels it's impossible for anyone to break through all her layers and get to know her.
This song is about a girl that's so far gone inside herself that there's no getting her out of her hell.
I like this song... a lot. It's like the girl is in a glass case, kind of disconnectd, away, and he just wants to reach her... but she's already so gone.
"Cuz you know you're so beautiful and so untouchable" gotta love that line!
This song is about a girl that he used to have....(YEAH YOU'RE GONE, AND I WISH YOU'D COME BACK.) How ever she dosn't know who she really is and she is in her own world trying really hard to find her inner-self.... ( YOU BEAT YOUR HEAD UPON YOUR WALL...meaning trying to figure herself out...( YOU DISCONNECT YOURSELF FROM IT ALL) ( BUT YOU'RE STUCK IN YOUR OWN WORLD...meaning she's in her own little world and isolating herself until she finds her innerself. She is not acting herself ( YOU WHISPERED IN MY MOUTH) ( AND I SPIT THE WORDS RIGHT BACK) She was really close to him ( YOU HELD YOUR HAND SO CLOSE...meaning she really was close to him but not as close as she could have been. if she was closer to him the phrase would have said "You held your Heart so close" But he wasn't able to get that one degree closer to her because he didn't know the inner her because she didn't know the inner her....( AND I WANT TO GET IN SO BAD BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW...meaning he wants to find out who she really is but doesn't know how to do that. She is a beauitful and hard to get/reach woman....( CUZ YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO UNTOUCHABLE.) He really wants her....( I WISH YOU COULD BE MY GIRL) but he can't reach her. He then realizes that he lost her and can't reach her so he knows he must let her go and let her find out who she really is....( CUZ YOUR GONE AND YOU AIN'T COMMING BACK) a relationship can't function when one person doesn't know ones self because if you don't know who you are how will someone else?
i completely agree with devin 22, excellent points
cool song. do you think maybe the girl has played with his head too? "you held your hand so close, and i just can't push you away". so yeah, she is beautiful and untouchable because maybe that is how she has created herself. she was a tease, made herself seem isolated, and is frustrated with herself too. now, he (or johnny) has also become frustrated, and given up on her, let her go...but there is still a part of him that wants her back...ok i'm done
AWESOME, AWESOME song!!! I love it. Does anyone know the lyrics to 1,000 words? They sometimes play it with Cuz Your Gone live...I really like it too...
1,000 words ....un?spoken....cuz there's nothing left to say ?...1,00o words just like broken..I want you to love me , I want you to know I'm just like you , a thousand word just spoken ..?...haha I'm really sorry haha I'm not english so it's hard:P
A Thousand Words lyrics:
a thousand words, but none were spoken guess there's nothing left to say another word just got broken guess things just turn out that way i want you to love me i want you to know i'm just like you just like you a thousand words are spoken another dream, another day i'm just like you, just like you i want you to love me i want you to know i'm just like you a thousand words just like you a thousand words just like you...
