Show me one good paper guarantee
Oh my sweet promissory
Stern old men make a bed for me
I’m more than ready
One more confirmation
Of a new low.
But I’m wired shut
Just say so
Got word when the light passed through
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back
Tight fist around a face out of history
Don’t think I don’t know what’s over me
Over me
With a numbing certainty
I’m more than ready
Duty bound
With a guilt-fed guarantee
Good faith
In the narrow path laid for me
Past time to declare sovereignty
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back
Oh my sweet promissory
Stern old men make a bed for me
I’m more than ready
One more confirmation
Of a new low.
But I’m wired shut
Just say so
Got word when the light passed through
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back
Tight fist around a face out of history
Don’t think I don’t know what’s over me
Over me
With a numbing certainty
I’m more than ready
Duty bound
With a guilt-fed guarantee
Good faith
In the narrow path laid for me
Past time to declare sovereignty
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Page

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.
It could be, as DeMinor put it, a metaphor about turning tables in society. But since I am reading "Psychic Confusion: The Sonic Youth Story" by Stevie Chick, I have been learning a lot about the transition many "indie" bands made to mainstream labels on the 88-94 era and how in many cases these bands were shocked by the inhumanity of these big conglomerates. The lyrics to "Cooling Card" fit that atmosphere of ambivalence towards a step that could be the walk of a promised idillic way of making music or a corporate trap which makes you become a numb dollar-making machine. This is specially true for the lines that mention guarantees and the attack to the "stern old men" who "make the bed" as in the preparations they did in order to assure a new band or artist signed a contract for them.
