@[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 think it's time we got something straight
I'm tired of the radio blasting all the songs I hate
And I don't wanna have to listen to the same old station
When I'm working in the kitchen
I'm clocking out, going to the show
(Hey Geis, do you wanna go?)
"Well, punk rock shows ain't for me,
I prefer downloads for free."
We recorded
We recorded this down in the basement
You downloaded
For free, 'cause that's how it's supposed to be
Can't you see it's a revelation?
Open music communication
'Cause some songs were meant to find you
I never liked what someone told me to
I never thought I'd eat my words
But lately, I've been getting off on shitty bands you've never heard
My friend sent the link to me
I downloaded their CD
And the best-slash-worst part is it's free
"Hate to say I told you so
But the radio just blows."

'Cause some songs were meant to find you
I never liked what someone told me to
How many times must I say these words to you?
Until you see what's the matter with an average point of view
Just remember what I'm telling you...
Find the music that suits you
'Cause TV isn't always true
The radio edit may not be best for you

“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.
