@[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 want a big house that sits by the shore
and when i wake up i can watch the tide rise
all of my friends they would live next door
and every night we'd build a fire in the backyard
we'd listen to all our favorite songs
watch it burn and we sing along
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
woke up this morning it was bitter cold
pieced together where the car was parked
now im running late to work
i took the backroads behind the prison yard
this year is slinking by so slow
this town has watched me come and go
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
do you believe that your in control?
of the things that you say you want?
up late watching tv shows
and get the feeling that we are the products
of generations im searching for gold
think we're the best just to stay afloat
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
the waves crash on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
when you feel the water pull you down
your caught up in the gravity
dont let it take you out to drown
just hold your head above this
take me back to the place
where we were standing at the top
when we were living everyday
like its the last one that we've got
yeah we'll go back to the days that went on and on and on
and we'll get back to the place where waves crashed on and on and on
and when i wake up i can watch the tide rise
all of my friends they would live next door
and every night we'd build a fire in the backyard
we'd listen to all our favorite songs
watch it burn and we sing along
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
woke up this morning it was bitter cold
pieced together where the car was parked
now im running late to work
i took the backroads behind the prison yard
this year is slinking by so slow
this town has watched me come and go
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
do you believe that your in control?
of the things that you say you want?
up late watching tv shows
and get the feeling that we are the products
of generations im searching for gold
think we're the best just to stay afloat
on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
the waves crash on and on and on oh oh oh
on and on and on
when you feel the water pull you down
your caught up in the gravity
dont let it take you out to drown
just hold your head above this
take me back to the place
where we were standing at the top
when we were living everyday
like its the last one that we've got
yeah we'll go back to the days that went on and on and on
and we'll get back to the place where waves crashed on and on and on

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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
one of the most beautiful songs on the album
sorry for all the comments :P i think this ones about not being on tour and just being home "this town has watched me come and go"
also "take me back to the place where we were standing at the top when we were living everyday like its the last one that we've got"
they just wanna be back where they were before Colin left
I love this song so much. it should have more comments.
this helps me feel like I'm not alone in that I hate this town, it's so slow, and so cold. I wanna go a place like he describes so bad and just get away from everything
