@[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.
Hate to relate it, baby
Hate to relate it, baby
Real life is so uncertain
It keeps letting you down
Real action happens behind the curtain
No use to step in line
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Real life is a Rorschach ink plot
You see what you're told to see
Adolescence is a boa constrictor
In the act of swallowing an animal
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you want to get there fast
Before another nine day's wonder
Comes along and steals your thunder
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you know it won't last
Prodigies born into a trap
Soon know that they will grow up
Fast forward to the good parts
Fast forward to the good parts
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Real life is so uncertain
It keeps letting you down
Real action happens behind the curtain
No use to step in line
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Real life is a Rorschach ink plot
You see what you're told to see
Adolescence is a boa constrictor
In the act of swallowing an animal
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you want to get there fast
Before another nine day's wonder
Comes along and steals your thunder
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you know it won't last
Prodigies born into a trap
Soon know that they will grow up
Fast forward to the good parts
Fast forward to the good parts
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation

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.
