@[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 don't get out much
These days
But I wouldn't call him
Lazy
He sees the dawn sneak
Into the room
And knows the dogs will
Be up soon
And we thought that he was doing alright
As the sun chased down another night
And days careen
Like the waters
Of a river rushing
To the sea
Here she comes again
Down the staircase
She never passes without
Saying hello
And we thought that he was doing alright
And she says hello
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
Of his smile
Dogs will wag their tails
And birds will sing
Hell it's hard world
For little things
And we thought that he was doing alright
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
Of his smile
These days
But I wouldn't call him
Lazy
He sees the dawn sneak
Into the room
And knows the dogs will
Be up soon
And we thought that he was doing alright
As the sun chased down another night
And days careen
Like the waters
Of a river rushing
To the sea
Here she comes again
Down the staircase
She never passes without
Saying hello
And we thought that he was doing alright
And she says hello
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
Of his smile
Dogs will wag their tails
And birds will sing
Hell it's hard world
For little things
And we thought that he was doing alright
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
Of his smile

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I agree that it's about suicide. This person seems like he's always happy, but he's usually by himself staying up all night alone. He appears to he happy, but in the end, no one realized that he wasn't doing alright.
