@[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.
Words of war, they don't mean shit
If the war's for nothing.
I'll wait for now, so show me how
This all works,
'cause all these things just seem empty
And that's what hurts.
Chuck's chorus:
So I can't help but to question
What was real or what was concealed.
Did you need to abandon
And change face?
Jason's chorus:
If you started today would you miss it?
'cause we've been blind.
I don't want to believe
That the truth is lost so easily.
Was it a mistake taken the wrong way?
Through our worst days.
Or did loyalty not mean a goddamn thing
In the ending?
Chuck's chorus:
So I can't help but to question
What was real or what was concealed.
Though trial and error
Did take place, did you need to change face?
And abandon what was/is real
Or what we felt. Pulled heavy weight.
What grounded us, what astounded me.
Was it all for nothing?
Jason's chorus:
If you started today would you miss it?
'cause we've been blind.
And I don't want to believe
That the truth is lost so easily.

'cause we've been blind.
And I don't want to believe

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.

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Why has nobody commented on this song? It's incredible. This song gets me so worked up. It's good to play, too. The dual vocals on this make me shiver a little..
A little? The dual v's make my heart stop.
It's not Jason, it's Chris.
