@[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.
My head is pounding, it kills me more each day
I've been here before with you
There's nothing left, nothing left to say
I'll never have to say the words that we don't want to hear
I'll never have to say the words, you never have to fear
Here's where your story ends
Here's where my life begins
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
I'm still the worser, "I'm better" isn't yet
What I've forgotten you will soon forget to say
I'll never have to say the words that we both fear
I'll never have to say the words you never have to hear
I'm giving up on you, not calling in
Stop won't really work for me anymore
I hope it was worth it, I'll never do this again
No one knows just what you mean to me
I hope you pick yourself up again
Here's where your story ends
Here's where my life begins
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
Everything's easy if we just play dead
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
Everything's easy if we just play dead
No one knows you better than you know yourself (Here's where my story ends...)
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
(Here's where my life begins...)
Everything's easy if we just play dead
I've been here before with you
There's nothing left, nothing left to say
I'll never have to say the words that we don't want to hear
I'll never have to say the words, you never have to fear
Here's where your story ends
Here's where my life begins
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
I'm still the worser, "I'm better" isn't yet
What I've forgotten you will soon forget to say
I'll never have to say the words that we both fear
I'll never have to say the words you never have to hear
I'm giving up on you, not calling in
Stop won't really work for me anymore
I hope it was worth it, I'll never do this again
No one knows just what you mean to me
I hope you pick yourself up again
Here's where your story ends
Here's where my life begins
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
Everything's easy if we just play dead
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
Everything's easy if we just play dead
No one knows you better than you know yourself (Here's where my story ends...)
Everyone around you says you just need help
Everyone will judge us by the words we say
(Here's where my life begins...)
Everything's easy if we just play dead

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
