This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I am the speaker but what is responsibility?
This is beg of you, build me brick upon brick
High tides, waves of hypocrisy
I didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times
I decided to name her insomnia
"Her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit"
This I must tell you, old friend, fear beauty
This is meager, this is feeble
She was only a fiction and my creation
This is beg of you, build me brick upon brick
High tides, waves of hypocrisy
I didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times
I decided to name her insomnia
"Her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit"
This I must tell you, old friend, fear beauty
This is meager, this is feeble
She was only a fiction and my creation

@[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.

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.

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is such a good song, love it. and what does "her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit" mean...
"Her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit"<br /> Red, or scarlet in this case, is a representation of sin whereas the color white represents good or holiness. So the line means that she is the good standing out amongst the sinners.<br /> <br /> In the song Mike is asking God to make him stronger to resist temptation and sin - "This i beg of you build me brick upon brick." The lines "High tides; waves of hypocrisy.<br /> I didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times.<br /> I decided to name her insomnia." symbolizes the constant struggles of temptation we face and how we are drawn away from God and purity. "She was only fiction and my creation," represents worshiping of an idol or false god.
That quote is from a book by Oscar Wilde (Who was not Christian at all) called "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and you should read it. So don't listen to the people who assume every TDWP song is about or directly referencing anything from the bible because TDWP as a band has to appeal to as broad an audience as possible and this means that all their lyrics are vague and subject to the listeners interpretation. In brief, TWDP songs have no specific meaning.
@deathofhonor You are not a good Christian and I'll tell you why. God calls upon all of us to be shepherds, to lead those who do not know or do not see in the RIGHT direction. So, you are a bad Christian because in your reply to "brando911" you made no mention of who the quote was originally from and gave an explanation based on an opinion. There was nothing true about what you said because it's what you think someone meant who themselves where quoting someone else and taking the quote out of it's context and giving it a completely new meaning. To make a long story short, the quote has no meaning and could not have any meaning other than the image it proposes. Being a good Christian means you have to work hard and be factual. You have done neither.
@criticalthinking<br /> 1 - TDWP does not HAVE to "appeal to as broad an audience as possible" and they state so, and <br /> 2 - "being a good christian means" not judging others, you bible-incompetent fool. heres a good verse for you: <br /> <br /> Matthew 7:1-5 "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." <br /> <br /> Its called intelligence...think before you speak, you "critical thinker"
@criticalthinking Again you prove your retarded in your reply to @deathofhonor. Psalm 34:6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. That backs deathofhonor saying "Mike is asking God to make him stronger to resist temptation and sin." Seconde swirle13's verse: Matthew 7:1-5 "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." You are no one to be judging what a good christian and a bad christian are unless you claim to be perfect.
Have the decency of being factual in your replies. Quoting the bible does not constitute fact or a valid argument in a logical discussion. I'll retract my previous statement though and admit it was presumptuous. deathofhonor may be a great christian but he is a bad person who does not care for logic or facts. All three of you are bigots. A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.<br /> <br /> swirle13: "not judging others, you bible-incompetent fool" animosity and intolerance based of belief and personal interpretation, not facts.<br /> <br /> ifonlyyouandi57: "Again you prove your retarded" You couldn't spell "you're" properly but went ahead and called me retarded which is an irrational and violent judgment based on personal beliefs.<br /> <br /> Both of you are going to have to face the fact that there is no arguing logic with religion because logic is a superior path of reasoning. This is an observable fact of life as it yields better results in any situation. God wasn't there to help you win here, just your obtuse, misguided, uneducated sense of right and wrong.<br /> <br />
