In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You never take my money
You never drive my cars
You've always had the good life
You never wished upon a star
No one will change your evil ways
You've got this groove you seem to dig
Well, your drinking's not a problem
Just a mere solution
Or some sort of means to an end
Looks like another whiskey woman
Never going home again
Looks like another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
Watch it
She's got this thing about young lovers
Never knowing where they've been
She'll need no frustration
Or small conversation
She's never gonna see you again
No one will change your evil ways
You've got this groove you seem to dig
Well, your drinking's not a problem
Just a mere solution
Or some sort of means to an end
Looks like another whiskey woman
Never going home again
Looks like another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
Watch it
She don't need complications
To her it's pretty simple
She'll always wash her problems away
But she never takes advice
She listens once or twice
Then she goes and does it her own way
You're sinking in your splendon
You drink like a contender
You do it to yourself every day,
Well, stop this cheap amusement
All this self abusement
Before your parents send you away
You're just another whiskey woman
Never going home again
You're just another whiskey woman
Never looking where you've been
You're just another whiskey woman
Never going home again
You're just another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
What's with you
Have another drink, baby
You never drive my cars
You've always had the good life
You never wished upon a star
No one will change your evil ways
You've got this groove you seem to dig
Well, your drinking's not a problem
Just a mere solution
Or some sort of means to an end
Looks like another whiskey woman
Never going home again
Looks like another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
Watch it
She's got this thing about young lovers
Never knowing where they've been
She'll need no frustration
Or small conversation
She's never gonna see you again
No one will change your evil ways
You've got this groove you seem to dig
Well, your drinking's not a problem
Just a mere solution
Or some sort of means to an end
Looks like another whiskey woman
Never going home again
Looks like another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
Watch it
She don't need complications
To her it's pretty simple
She'll always wash her problems away
But she never takes advice
She listens once or twice
Then she goes and does it her own way
You're sinking in your splendon
You drink like a contender
You do it to yourself every day,
Well, stop this cheap amusement
All this self abusement
Before your parents send you away
You're just another whiskey woman
Never going home again
You're just another whiskey woman
Never looking where you've been
You're just another whiskey woman
Never going home again
You're just another whiskey woman
Elbows to the bar again
What's with you
Have another drink, baby

@[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.
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.
Looks like she's a huge ac/dc fan.
