Slow to speak
slow to anger. x8
the opposite of how i feel.
the opposite of how i live.
there’s no justice in this deal.
but something infinitely greater.
doubt starts rocking me in waves.
brought on by The Great Degrader.
unstabilized in all my ways.
but I keep pushing down that fader.
slow to speak.
slow to anger. x3
who I really am looks like a stranger.
slow to speak.
slow to anger. x2
slow to speak in anger.
til my violent heart’s in greatest danger.
yeah.
my soul’s a cage of unclean birds.
it’s a den of loathsome creatures.
the stench of death my empty words. a
nd wickedness my every feature.
so if i’ve had it up to here.
upon this path of least resistance.
forsake this mission to defend.
the very means of my existence.
if i turn away from here
towards the place of a skull
where it went down once for all.
slow to speak.
slow to anger. x2
slow to speak in anger.
who i really am looks like a stranger.
slow to speak.
slow to anger.
slow to speak.
slow to anger.
slow to speak.
slow to anger. x8
the opposite of how i feel.

@[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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
