This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Baby be good, baby every night
Better be good, you know it's only right
Baby be good, 'til I come back home
Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone
I don't want to go but I leave today
Just remember what I have to say
All I ask of you when I go away
Is baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good, baby let me know
Better be good, c'mon and let it show
Baby be good, try and understand
Baby don't be bad with another man
If you're gonna play I don't want to know
It would break my heart 'cause I love you so
All I want to say now before I go
Is baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
I never really thought that I would lose my heart
But I love all the things that you do
It's funny 'cause I just don't think you fit the part
I always want to be here with you, oh
Baby be good, now baby be good
If you're gonna play I don't want to know
It would break my heart 'cause I love you so
All I want to say now before I go
Is baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good, baby every night
Better be good, you know it's only rightBaby be good 'til I come back home
Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone
I don't want to go but I leave today
Just remember what I have to say
All I ask of you when I go away
Is baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
Better be good, you know it's only right
Baby be good, 'til I come back home
Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone
I don't want to go but I leave today
Just remember what I have to say
All I ask of you when I go away
Is baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good
(Baby be good)
Baby be good, baby let me know
Better be good, c'mon and let it show
Baby be good, try and understand
Baby don't be bad with another man
If you're gonna play I don't want to know
It would break my heart 'cause I love you so
All I want to say now before I go

Holiday

@[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.

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.
