@[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.
I never wake up 'til my shadow's longer than I am anymore
My cheeks are hollow as I feel
You're really gonna hate this
I still can dial your number in the dark
But whenever I pull
I'm pushing us further apart
I keep my fragments of you in a closet bottom bag
And I take them out and stitch them up
Caught in the open in the rained out parade of you
You're really gonna hate this
I still can dial your number in the dark
But whenever I pull
I'm pushing us further apart
You're really gonna hate this
Pieces of you swimming in my brain
Drenched to the bone
Waiting for you in the rain
And it pours
Life becomes the things you're putting off
If you're not sure what you've turned on
I should just throw this bag away
Caught in the open in the rained out parade of you
Fumbling for cover in the rained out parade of you
You're really gonna hate this
But my fingers know your number in the dark
Whenever I call it
I'm pushing us further apart
You're really gonna hate this
Pieces of you swimming in my brain
Drenched to the bone
Waiting for you in the rain
I'll take back what you took from me
I'll hide where you won't look for me
And I can't see that being too hard
My cheeks are hollow as I feel
You're really gonna hate this
I still can dial your number in the dark
But whenever I pull
I'm pushing us further apart
I keep my fragments of you in a closet bottom bag
And I take them out and stitch them up
Caught in the open in the rained out parade of you
You're really gonna hate this
I still can dial your number in the dark
But whenever I pull
I'm pushing us further apart
You're really gonna hate this
Pieces of you swimming in my brain
Drenched to the bone
Waiting for you in the rain
And it pours
Life becomes the things you're putting off
If you're not sure what you've turned on
I should just throw this bag away
Caught in the open in the rained out parade of you
Fumbling for cover in the rained out parade of you
You're really gonna hate this
But my fingers know your number in the dark
Whenever I call it
I'm pushing us further apart
You're really gonna hate this
Pieces of you swimming in my brain
Drenched to the bone
Waiting for you in the rain
I'll take back what you took from me
I'll hide where you won't look for me
And I can't see that being too hard

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.
