Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Shadows rushing in the sky
like fanatical riders,
winds are beating strong
down on our lands…
No one ought to offend
against the majestic Nature,
you know how terrible her
war hymn can be!
Shadows rushing in the sky
like fanatical riders, beginning
a crazy run against all existence…
Drinking light and swallowing
up in a smoke patch the screams
of the repented.
Inside of you burns the guilty
feeling not having been
able to tame her;
Soon the walls will fall down…
and from her womb, the ultimate sigh…
Clamours arising from
red-glowing plains,
while breaking off
this deadly silence.
All you have been creating will
disappear from her infallible soul.
Winds beating down on a
weird purifying blaze.
Facing the power of the time being,
all past fades away.
You bend yourself,
you can’t avoid her judgement.
Waters awakening from
longstanding sleep flood over
the land stakes of dissension,
where innocent rotting bodies
are lying, secretly bound to
a dreadful master.
So goes on the deadly dance
only wearing another costume.
You bred your own torturer
but she’s been ahead!
The more you will
curse each of her whims,
the more you will not
help yourself but yielding
to her furor.
Excited by the lust for
power and cruelty, you made
a servant of the weakest one
by setting up your reign of pain.
Your tears will wash away in vain
the lands your folly stained.
Your body’s shaken with fear.
Now your look reveals
your true nature.

@[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.

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.
