@[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 wanted to tell you, I wanted to share,
Some important details that you're unaware of.
I want you to listen, I want you to care,
I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air.
It's not a secret that I obsess,
And then I get angry and then I get stressed.
And you can't imagine and you can't compare,
You've no frame of reference and then you get scared.
I'm doing my best to help make you see,
That it's not your fault when I beg and I plead.
It's much easier just to go back to sleep,
But we've got to find a place to start,
Because I'm falling apart.
I'll never feel happy, I never feel safe,
I can't let myself ever stay in one place.
I look in the mirror and I see the face,
Of a failure who will never be significant.
The face that you see from the morning to night,
Is the mask that I put on to hide what's inside.
I don't take it off until you fall asleep,
I don't want you to see what lives inside of me.
I thought I'd get older and it'd go away,
But it only gets worse and causes more pain,
And being alone is getting so hard,
I just got to tell you..
Goddammit, I'm falling apart!
I'm down on my knees in the dark,
Feeling for whatever is left,
But the pieces are falling too far.
Don't leave yet, I haven't got to the part that explains it all.
Don't leave yet, I need somebody there to catch me before I fall.
To catch me before I fall.
Goddammit, I'm falling apart!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
you can really hear the pain, frustration, and hopelessness in his voice when he yells "God dammit, I'm falling apart!"
very beautiful and deep poetry. althought full of pain but still, very very liberating and clar!
