@[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.
A poor man
With four daughters
All wept in the sun
Daughter commits adultery
Or so he was told
Bought a knife and machete
After Friday's prayers
They have become unhonorable
Daughter must be killed
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
You're the man unrepentant
Don't you realize
You murdered your own children
Call that honorable cause?
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
With four daughters
All wept in the sun
Daughter commits adultery
Or so he was told
Bought a knife and machete
After Friday's prayers
They have become unhonorable
Daughter must be killed
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
You're the man unrepentant
Don't you realize
You murdered your own children
Call that honorable cause?
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away

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.
what a fuckin bolloks rip off. the intro is metallicas 'through the never' the chorus is Iron Maidens 'Bring your daughter' re-arranged stupid cunts
wow. you are very ignorant. daughter and slaughter rhyme. get over it. also, the intro it's strikingly different from Through the Never. it's more like the Metallica riff in reverse with more technicality and less repetitiveness. next time, do your homework and try thinking before you open your ignorant British/Australian mouth.
