This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
you exploited it you abandoned it
we adopted reared and raised it
now that it's full grown
you've come to claim it
claim away
let the flash bulbs flash
you thought you would look back and laugh
now you've come back
looking for the cash
but we are not your stepping stone
don't try that again
you joined the establishment instead of
working to build up your own community
how does it feel
discarded by the mainstream
you've come back saying
we owe you something
you talked the talk
we walked the whole damn walk
off a short pier
we're an embarrassment
to everyone here
cuz we believe what you said
we lived what you only pretended
we stuck around all these years
now we're here uninvited
to remind you who's child it really is
what have you done
for me lately
you didn't make us didn't create us
go back in that hole you dug
baby
we adopted reared and raised it
now that it's full grown
you've come to claim it
claim away
let the flash bulbs flash
you thought you would look back and laugh
now you've come back
looking for the cash
but we are not your stepping stone
don't try that again
you joined the establishment instead of
working to build up your own community
how does it feel
discarded by the mainstream
you've come back saying
we owe you something
you talked the talk
we walked the whole damn walk
off a short pier
we're an embarrassment
to everyone here
cuz we believe what you said
we lived what you only pretended
we stuck around all these years
now we're here uninvited
to remind you who's child it really is
what have you done
for me lately
you didn't make us didn't create us
go back in that hole you dug
baby

@[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 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.
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.
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.
