@[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.
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
While they’re, standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those Armies of Salvation
Wasting time, in the unemployment lines
Sitting around, waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
Poor people gonna rise up, and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up, and take what’s theirs
Don’t you know ya better run run run run run run run run run run run run
Oh, I said ya better run run run run run run run run run run run run
‘Cos finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh, while they’re,
Standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those Armies of Salvation
Wasting time, in the unemployment lines
Sitting around, waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
And finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
While they’re, standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those Armies of Salvation
Wasting time, in the unemployment lines
Sitting around, waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
Poor people gonna rise up, and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up, and take what’s theirs
Don’t you know ya better run run run run run run run run run run run run
Oh, I said ya better run run run run run run run run run run run run
‘Cos finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh, while they’re,
Standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those Armies of Salvation
Wasting time, in the unemployment lines
Sitting around, waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know, were talkin’ about a revolution that sounds (like a whisper)
And finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin’ bout a revolution
Oh no

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.
I'm not sure, but I think the original version of this song is by Billy Bragg, or so I've heard. I have to admit though, Tracy pulls it off with both finesse and style. This song is amazing vocally and musically.
