@[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.
How can time still drain every little beat of my heart?
In my time of need I want to destroy anything you are
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny
What have you ever denied?
Because you're just the one that had it all
While I'm just the dice in your hands
And no, it's not easy
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny
Will I suffer in vain?
You're feeding all my fears
I cannot escape
You're here in my head
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny
In my time of need I want to destroy anything you are
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny
What have you ever denied?
Because you're just the one that had it all
While I'm just the dice in your hands
And no, it's not easy
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny
Will I suffer in vain?
You're feeding all my fears
I cannot escape
You're here in my head
Grief is the light
I can't deny I'm afraid of you
Grief is the light
I'm not afraid to deny

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.
Another great, almost bitter-sounding song.
The singer appears to have been in a relationship that had an unequal balance of power. She let the other person call all the shots in every aspect of the relationship, and the damage that was done is still so painful that she can feel it physically in her heart.
It sounds like the person was someone who was somehow "privileged", whether monetarily or otherwise, while she was little more than his plaything. Even after they have gone their separate ways, he is still haunting her thoughts and her emotions.
