@[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.
There's a beat of a golden drum
And I march in their stilts
In the gilded hearts of love
Heartaches and sorrows and lies
The only razor that cuts the sky
'Cuz I heard the last deadly writes
In this story deep in the sunshine
Before it hits the eyes
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
Ooh, it's such a lonely place
I got a mansion on my mind
Ooh, it's such a quiet place
Sorrow, then nonsense and cries
There's a room with an empty chair
Now, tell us just what's on your mind
Who knows you coudn't ride
Your body's a ghost in disguise
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
And I march in their stilts
In the gilded hearts of love
Heartaches and sorrows and lies
The only razor that cuts the sky
'Cuz I heard the last deadly writes
In this story deep in the sunshine
Before it hits the eyes
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
Ooh, it's such a lonely place
I got a mansion on my mind
Ooh, it's such a quiet place
Sorrow, then nonsense and cries
There's a room with an empty chair
Now, tell us just what's on your mind
Who knows you coudn't ride
Your body's a ghost in disguise
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?
On and on we sing the same song
Can't you see it's you and not me?

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.

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.
Again, not sure of the lyrics.
