@[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.
Just light the match and run
Run from all those times
She poured gasoline, by fires’ light she cried
She cried all night salt from her tears
Rusted shut her eyes
She should have shut her eyes
Turn off the lights
Blow out the candles tonight
Romance this chance to set angels to flight
Before they die
I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
Please don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Your fire this time
This time
Your fire this time
This time
Please drive faster
Faster than the light
Erase her embrace
Erase it from your mind
Let this die
I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
please don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Remember oceans like times together
Across these oceans I sent my letters
I sent these letters to you
Remember oceans and time together in your eyes
Remember starting your fires off my eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes
Run from all those times
She poured gasoline, by fires’ light she cried
She cried all night salt from her tears
Rusted shut her eyes
She should have shut her eyes
Turn off the lights
Blow out the candles tonight
Romance this chance to set angels to flight
Before they die
I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
Please don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Your fire this time
This time
Your fire this time
This time
Please drive faster
Faster than the light
Erase her embrace
Erase it from your mind
Let this die
I'll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
please don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Remember oceans like times together
Across these oceans I sent my letters
I sent these letters to you
Remember oceans and time together in your eyes
Remember starting your fires off my eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes
Remember these oceans
Like fires off your eyes

“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.
How the hell is HH not emo??? Come on now...
All of the songs by these guys are super good, the whole album is a perfect 'Screamo' album. Buy it or Die.
great song... this cd is so good.. i just hope hawthorne heights doesn't get too big. anyone have a clue about what this song means??
To me, this song is about moving on. He wants to move on and leave her as a memory and she can't accept that. To me, the fires respresent her anger and can be rumors that she has spread to try and get even. And the end is just a way of saying, "We had some good times and let those memories stay with you forever."
Except*
Wait, I dont know. I forgot my grammar.
i think this song is one of the best on the cd but i have no clue what it means i agree that is a perfect screamo cd
Screamo ?! we may not have the same definition of screamo.. Hot Cross is screamo
it is not screamo... it is most like post-hardcore... it is sreaming/singing... which is why i love it!!! but i love this song!!! but definetly not screamo... go listen to chariot or nine inch nails those are some hardcore screamo bands... but not HH...
For me this song has soo much meaning. I dont exactly KNOW what it's meaning is. But for some reason this song like pulls me in and like everything makes sense. A great song to end the CD with.
