@[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.
Well everytime I move every step I make
You know I just can't seem to take the right direction
I'm always wrong I'm never right
Right or wrong there always seems to be a correction
And I give everything I got
And they take, take, take, take, take everything, everything I'm giving
My back is tired, my legs both ache
In this life there is no cake, this life I'm livin'
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today, I say
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today
Well you look at me and shake your head
Don't like my hair you're so misled, I shit like you do
and the curse is more than on my head
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead, it's worse than Voodoo yeah
And I'm reaching out for help
But it's no, no, no, no, no, until you give in
My back's still tired, my legs both ache
In this life there is no cake, this life I'm livin'
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today, I say
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today
Well they take, they take everything I'm givin'
It's a rough life this life I'm livin'
Give me more, give me more, I take more everyday
I'm gonna take it till they take, take, take, take
Take, take, take, take me away
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today, I say
I stand alone today (Why you feel?)
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way (What you say?)
I stand alone today
I say I, (I) I, (I) stand alone today
I say I, (I) I, (I) I stand alone today
I say I, (I) I, (I) stand alone today
I say I, (I) I, (I) I stand alone today

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.

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.
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.
OH MY GOD i cant believe no one has commented!!!! I love this song. Its so true.....ppl judge wayyyy too much
they probably wrote this as a protest against kmart for not selling one of their albums.
