@[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.
he steps away from his car with a song. he was wrong. he should have known all along. with wary eyes and uncertain grin. fall out. i saved your voice. trouble. that outstretched hand you had to shake. you sell out. you could have had your choice. but broke away the turnstile. fall out. your friends are toys. in time. that outstretched hands you had to shake. will sell you out. and leave your wreck

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

“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.
A catchy drum line that starts out the song, a guitar riff so hopeful sounding that it almost makes you forget that is has lyrics of a person's shoes that almost all of us could fit into so very easily.
This song is very catchy and awesome. The band is amazing
Yeah, xsomepunkx, this band really pales in comparison to cool bands like the virus and the unseen, right?
You ass.. I can't believe I wasted my time responding to that.
This song is incredible. So intense, yet so relaxing at the same time. The lyrics don't do much for me though.
i could listen to this band for hours...but i've done that routine before. i think i'll do it again. mmmm..
Hey, XsomepunkX (original...you know..with the "x's" and all...) I hate my sister too, man!! We should hang out sometime and listen to the Misfits and just break stuff for the hell of it!!! We could also tear holes in our jeans and watch Suburbia like 25 times in a row with a bottle of Southern Comfort!! Bitchin, dude.... You hate your parents too? And society? And the Government? We're like TWINS!
this is off of one of my favorite album sets, what a way to start it all off, too. with "Waking..." and this song. For a guy whose favorite band is Queen, and has few discs past 1991, this band I love.
I agree with Italian Phaethon... perfect way to kick off probably my favorite album set of all time.
To me, the car is symbolic of a relationship, not necessarily a love interest, but probably a close friendship. The trust is there and he's just cruisin along with it, when suddenly the whole relationship crashes and burns. The middle of the song refers to this, how if you're not careful people will take advantage of you. You have to be cautious with other people, because you never know who is gonna be there for you when it matters. The last line and the first line refer to the car symbolism, how the relationship was wrecked. He was in the driver seat, and he can't help but feel that he could have done something to save it. As he walks away, confused and shaken, I think he realizes that it's not entirely his fault, and that in the future he should know to be more cautious with his trust. Hence, "He steps away from his car...with wary eyes and uncertain grin."
Just my interpretation, it's probably alot deeper than that. I'm probably way off on the meaning, but I know I'm right on the money when I say that this is a beautiful song and it represents some of this amazing band's best work.
it's like clouds roll in at 1:49 but then at 2:47 they break and the sun comes out again
This song is so amazing to listen to. The guitar riff is untouchable and the drumming is impressive. When the singing kicks in i get goosebumps.
