@[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.
What time is it
This is one of those, a1-yola raps
Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind,
Stick in ya mind
When you up all night
You see things you shouldn't have saw
'Cause the night gets raw
Drama is thicker than skippys peanut butter
Imagine worried thoughts of a young man's mother
Feelin's empty, love don't live here anymore
Awake like an owl at a quarter to four
Don't blink, a caddy just ran a red light
Bumpin' thug life
And I blend with the night
They call me greedy
Plead my sins to get a gurl a beaty
It's andre nickatina
I'm like a genie in a beanie
Amarato 88 cadillac, all black
Copy cats try to match
But they style ain't exactly the same
Somebody said "freeze it's a raid"
You know cops are comin' when a brotha smells
Glazed doughnuts
Hold up
I'ma fill it to the rim
Me and money go together like a feather in a brim
I'm a magician
Some say my themes are lame but I ain't trippin'
A gurl be yellin, I fix a drink but I don't listen
Crooked crow
Playas seem to like my style
Why's that killa whale?
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
(What are ya baby)
I'm a raider
Camouflaged in silver and the black
Tryin' to blitz through the line for a quarter back sack
Of the money
I dress like it's cold, not sunny
But slyer than an urgent fox tryin' to catch a bunny
In the snow
I'm try'na get paid like a ho
Or better yet the pimp that's rakin' in her dough
Like a baker
But check it, who's the king of the caine?
And what's that tigga's name with the macintosh computer brain mind
Or should I say mine
Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime
I call my lawyer
Bail bonds keep me on the streets
Three in the mornin' I'm at the club with the freaks
But I got hawk eye
Meanin' that the joint is bein' watched
Drinkin' with the killas that be pushin' up the cost
For the drought season
Bout season
Different then they best
But those be the ones that don't have to rest
Like an owl
Hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I set a trap
I have to spin a web like a spider
Don't strike matches, hate child proof lighters
Stay awake
Quick as I pick up the pace
First I see a gurl's butt, then I look at her face
I can't explain
I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak
We killin wit ourselves cold blooded narc
Brothas droppin' cream by the fiends when they part
I'm like a sentinel
Known to be the principal original
Lookin' for the road that made it gold
Call it federal, I'm a general
But yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant
Popeye, no more with the blunts(?), who got the spinach
Cough, choke, feelin' no remorse for the roach
Choppin' up freaks as ya lounge with your folks
Playin' dice, you take a chance at the crap game
It's all about the money baby, it's the rap game
And I'm an owl
Hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
Uh and I'm out
Uh, shit
It's a planned emergency, (it's a planned emergency)
It's a planned emergency, (it's a planned emergency)
What, stop!

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Dope song. Reminds me of going out and partying all night.
