@[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.
Maybe deep down inside, you don't believe it
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
And you're not worthy of adoration
You're scared that somebody somewhere's gonna find
the burst pipe
And as fast as they bow down they'll leave you behind
But baby be brave cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
Are you terrified to fail?
Way far down below you don't feel it
Yeah everyone knows but we don't believe it
The pain of a pop star you're breaking my heart
But baby be brave cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(it's your fear that makes you worthy)
I know what you're doing 'cause
God I've been tempted, you are
Drowning the special to
Inmortalize the rise
And what's the point of it all
If you're not terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(it's your fear that makes you worthy)
I'm terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(it's your fear that makes you worthy)
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
And you're not worthy of adoration
You're scared that somebody somewhere's gonna find
the burst pipe
And as fast as they bow down they'll leave you behind
But baby be brave cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all, yeah
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for

Are you terrified to fail?
Way far down below you don't feel it

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

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.
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.
obviously a song about helping someone through a hard time, and they don't think they're good enough.
