@[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.
Smile for me, but don't be fake,
another broken heart, is something i can't take,
i've liked you for so long, and now it's my time,
i'm gonna make it, i'm gonna shine, so
Say the things you say,
do the things you do,
make me feel the way
i feel with you [4x]
Maybe i'm the one who's lost, but when i see your face
i feel like this is where i belong,
and it's taken very long
to say these words to you, and it's true,
i'm wishin' on a star, wondering where you are,
and if one day we'll take this far,
each and everyday, i find myself
falling asleep and falling more in love.
do i stand a chance in the world
can i be with that special girl
the one i want to hold o' so tight,
the one i dream of every night. so,
Say the things you say,
do the things you do,
make me feel the way,
i feel with you [4x]
it's too hard to go on this way
i remember like yesterday
the first time we kissed and i was so scared
that this feeling would go away
i'm wishin' on a star
wondering where you are
and if one day we can take this far,
now that you know that i feel this way
i can't help but wonder what you're gonna say,
Do i stand a chance the world
can i be with that special girl,
the one i want to hold o' so tight,
the one dream of everynight
Say the things you say,
do the things you do,
make me feel the way,
i feel with you [4x]
another broken heart, is something i can't take,

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
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
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.

Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
This song was renamed to Darkened Rooms & NightLights on the retail album.
