This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
There's a war inside of me
Do I cause new heartbreak to write
A new broken song?
Do I push it down
Or let it run me right into the ground?
I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
Well, I can't stop talking
For fear of listening to unwelcome sound
And you haven't called me in weeks
And honestly, it's bringing me down
Oh, I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like
You wouldn't like me if you met me
And don't you worry, there's still time
Don't you worry, there's still time
There's nothing to live for when I'm sleepin' alone
And I wash the windows outside
In hopes that the glare will bring you around
I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like
You wouldn't like me if you met me
So don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
Well, I can't say
That I'll love you forever
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
I won't say
That I'll love you forever
Do I cause new heartbreak to write
A new broken song?
Do I push it down
Or let it run me right into the ground?
I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
Well, I can't stop talking
For fear of listening to unwelcome sound
And you haven't called me in weeks
And honestly, it's bringing me down
Oh, I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like
You wouldn't like me if you met me
And don't you worry, there's still time
Don't you worry, there's still time
There's nothing to live for when I'm sleepin' alone
And I wash the windows outside
In hopes that the glare will bring you around
I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like
You wouldn't like me if you met me
So don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
Well, I can't say
That I'll love you forever
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
I won't say
That I'll love you forever

@[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.

Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
You know when you are with someone, either dating or getting close to that stage, and even though you are with the person and may be having a great time, you may still have that paranoia that the person doesn't like you as much as you like them, or they may not see all your cute little idiosyncracies the same way you do.
Sometimes it can be quite a serious neurosis, always self deprecating, especially if you have been in a bad relationship in the past, you sometimes stop yourself from edging forwards into really committing to the person. If it's all new and things are just getting started, it's more difficult to pour out your head and heart so it just makes it more difficult to know what the other person is thinking.
That is what I think this song is about. It comes as such a surprise when your other actually says something otherwise to what you have been thinking. I wasn't sure if the girl I had started seeing liked me, or if she was serious about me, or if she had it in her head already that she wanted to end things (as we sometimes do, but don't know how to) and one night we were lying there talking about each other and how things had happened so fast and she said "I feel like I can only be happy when I'm with you". It really shocked me :)
I wasn't sure what to make of these lines:
sunshine is days away i won't be saved, i know all the words i can't say that i'll love you forever i won't say that i'll love you forever
It does work with my theory above - it is just a 'safety', a way of not taking that full commitment that she tells herself in case things don't work out?
