@[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.
Who will protect you from these dog like vultures?
And I know they're small, that they sharp
We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
Our hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth
Our eyes are upon you and we'll protect you
Be assured no fang will breech your fleece
'Cause we are called to lead and sent to gather
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws
We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
Our hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth
Their blood will spill like water
In a fountain for thieves and liars
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws
'Cause we hold the keys
And we've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
And hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth
And I know they're small, that they sharp
We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
Our hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth
Our eyes are upon you and we'll protect you
Be assured no fang will breech your fleece
'Cause we are called to lead and sent to gather
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws
We've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
Our hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth
Their blood will spill like water
In a fountain for thieves and liars
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws
'Cause we hold the keys
And we've been sent with eyes to see them
And ears to hear their steps
And hearts are softer than the sheep
We've been known to calm the storm
And silence the ocean
With strength to spare you from their teeth
From their teeth

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.
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.
Great song. I think its about the trinity and how they are here to protect us. And line for is "but their teeth are sharp"
sorry line four*
This song ultimately reflects the Christian's role in protecting and defending those who are more susceptible to the evils in the world (wolf attacks)
We've been sent with eyes to see them and ears to hear their steps. Our hearts that are softer than the sheep
As Christians we are able to identity what is right and what is wrong. We know when someone is essentially up to no good and thus, we are able to see/hear it.
We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean. With strength to spare you from their teeth.
This can be a reference to when Jesus calmed the storm. It ultimately asserts that Christianity has performed miraculous things, but our strength has not diminished.
I agree with prawns that this song is about protecting and defending those susceptible to the evils of the world. The way in which we can do this is by pointing out and stopping the sinful ways of people and ridding the world of evil. It is difficult to point out evil unless you have experienced it within yourself. In this way, everyone has a little bit of "wolf" in them that they battle with. Those of us familiar with the temptation of sin but have the strength to cast it aside and do good deeds are those of us best able to confront and rid the world of evil. I believe this song could be about A "noble wolf" who is truly good on the inside and that has the power to recognize and confront evil in order to defend Christ the lamb.
k guys this is really obvious.... this song is about shepherds! and jesus was a shepherd of man, and as christians, like him we need to become shepherds of man. and who like to eat sheep? wolves, or demons/satan/sin. AWESOME song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
