@[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 should write a song about you
And all the shit that you do
You don't even know what's up
But soon it all comes crashing down on you
Since we're on the subject
Tell me why your name is in the dictionary when I look up idiot
Check yourself it's very necessary
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning 'round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
You should have a sticker on you
Saying warning keep out
You're the kinda girl that'll mess you up for
Life that's smashing up his car
Crying on his doorstep, waiting in the rain all night
And did you tell him you're the kind that never show your ugly side
Until you sticking like glue
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning 'round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
It's just that every time you mess it up like that I see myself in you
I've been there too
And there's so many times I stand beside and see what you're going through
Where you headed too
Stand by!
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
You keep on banging you head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
You keep on banging you head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Going down, going down, going down, oh no
You're going down, going down
You'll crash and burn girl
And all the shit that you do
You don't even know what's up
But soon it all comes crashing down on you
Since we're on the subject
Tell me why your name is in the dictionary when I look up idiot
Check yourself it's very necessary
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning 'round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground

Saying warning keep out
You're the kinda girl that'll mess you up for

You're going down, going down
You'll crash and burn girl

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Okay this song is obviously aimed towards a certain someone who don't see what they are doing and blatently don't even care until there face hits the ground ... shirts all red (from bangin there head) ... dont care until they hit rock bottom, and then they realise ... fuck what have i done?
