@[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.
You gave me that look across the table
At dinnertime
Your toes caress my ankle
And I notice your breathing getting heavy
Your speech short of steady
It's obvious your ready
Skip the elevator
Head straight toward the stairs
Lipstick shades on pillowcases
Loving lasts together here
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
We'll turn the lights back on and straighten up the room
Unbuttoning my shirt, I watched you as you fixed your hair
We stumble downstairs
Can't tell them what has just occured
Never feeling awkward
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
At dinnertime
Your toes caress my ankle
And I notice your breathing getting heavy
Your speech short of steady
It's obvious your ready
Skip the elevator
Head straight toward the stairs
Lipstick shades on pillowcases
Loving lasts together here
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
We'll turn the lights back on and straighten up the room
Unbuttoning my shirt, I watched you as you fixed your hair
We stumble downstairs
Can't tell them what has just occured
Never feeling awkward
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that
But you know
I don't have to tell you
It's not just about that, not just about that
And you know
We don't have to prove it
Was never about that, never about that

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

“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.
It really is a sweet song. It was great when they performed it live tonight.
