@[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.
Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
Just come clean all around me
With your head bleeds and your nosebleeds, too
I don't see that there's a truth
In the way you're talking to me
But let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me, oh
Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
With the way you're talking to me
Oh, it's so soothing
And let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh
Listen to me
You pull me apart
And I know it wasn't you
Cause you were not there
And why do you feel sorry?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh
Come clean all around me
Come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh
Mister, I don't believe in you
Just come clean all around me
With your head bleeds and your nosebleeds, too
I don't see that there's a truth
In the way you're talking to me
But let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me, oh
Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
With the way you're talking to me
Oh, it's so soothing
And let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh
Listen to me
You pull me apart
And I know it wasn't you
Cause you were not there
And why do you feel sorry?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh
Come clean all around me
Come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
beautiful, beautiful song.
She doesn't trust him but she still wants to make something work. I guess that's what it seems to be on the surface!
I think this song is about an alcoholic father. I think when she talks about, "Youre head bleeds and you're nose bleeds too" she's describing his injuries, confirming suspicions that he's drinking again. I think he lies to her and says he's not drinking, so she wants him to Come Clean and admit he's fallen off the wagon. When she says, " I know it wasn't you, cuz you were not there" she's talking about how he's a completely person when he's drunk.
t0rnX, I have a hard time imagining anyone in Eisley even having sex, much less referencing it so explicitly in a song. Get your head out of the gutter!
i think of addiction when i hear this. or someone who struggles with some sort of personal demon. and about having faith in that person, even if they are completely damaged and messy.
come clean, kick the habit, and let's get to living. i looooove this song.
They said in an interview that this song was about their friend who was on drugs, but denying it. Just asking for the truth and such.
maybe one of my favorites from the new album.
