@[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.

Plastic Bag

“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.
Aha aha. I get it. Basically what e.g. Eminem is doing is saying that his music isn't responsible for violence, taking drugs and stupid behaviour. Eminem is not entirely to blame. He is just part of the system and the problem. He is blaming other artists doing the same thing as he does, he is blaming violent movies and of course in the end, it's the parents fault not his because they allowed their kid to listen to his music. It's so easy. So basically, Eminem or whoever artist is opening his mouth, can get away with whatever disgusting and evil lyrics or scenes on screen without having to fear any consequences, because it's always someone else's fault and freedom of speech and it's only entertainment, he's not serious.
And of course he like most people in the entertainment industry protected by the millionaires and their million dollar companies of billion dollar industries standing behind him, not only pulling the strings, but controlling him, allowing him to say what he says and also forcing him to sing about controversal and sick topics. What is the cause for all this sex, materialism, violence, drugs, hate and so on in this world? Morals, ethics, good behaviour, loving your neighbour and being a decent person? Or is it the perverted media, who promot all the things in their works that the average person wouldn't want to have in their lifes at no cost? Violence doesn't come from peace. Hate doesn't come from love. In Matthew 7:17 is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."
But we rather believe the lie that it is only entertainment and parents are responsible and these gigantic billion dollar companies can sell almost whatever they want on the market and when something goes wrong it is our fault and the parents are to blame and the bad childhood, the bad neighbourhood and the lack of education. They want us to believe that, but kids see entertainers as role models and even if only one single person copies bad behaviour from any media and does damage to himself or others, it is one incident too much. Or should we say: Ah, it's alright, it only happened once or twice, so we shouldn't be concerned?
