This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
All my friends are slipping in the mud,
Well it's a lot like dying, a lot like trying,
All my friends are misunderstood
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends are cold in their graves
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
All my friends are living in denial,
Well you ask no questions, I'll tell no secrets,
All my friends are trying to smile
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends died right here
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
All my friends are slipping in the mud,
Well it's a lot like dying, a lot like trying,
All my friends are misunderstood
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends are cold in their graves
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
All my friends are living in denial,
Well you ask no questions, I'll tell no secrets,
All my friends are trying to smile
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends died right here
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I guess it's okay,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again
Got an illusion,
I wanted to say,
There's something wrong here
A lot to take,
And I need to play the game again

@[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.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
No, it's all about breaking up with his girlfriend. He's unhappy because he ‘needs to play the game again' referring to dating. "It's all too severe".
“Well it's a lot like dying”:-
Some of his friends are getting married -> marriage = death. And it’s "alot to take".
All my friends are trying to smile – sounds like they’re at a wedding or out on the town watching him try to pick up (while on drugs?).
"I don't know wish way to point my kiss" - I can't imagine him wondering which of his buddies to kiss while playing the playstation 3. ?? He’s possibly talking about the bridesmaids at the wedding i meantioned before.
