This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Having a bad day
Sitting on the floor
Singing a sad song tonight
How could it be
That something so easy
Never seems to turn out right
Sitting on the side of your bed
Sorry I broke your heart
Even with the gifts I gave you
Sorry I broke your heart
But I did
I did
You will
Understand, yeah
Cross my heart, I know the day
Will come when you see the light
But now I sleep alone on the bed I made
And hope everything turns out alright
Sorry that I made you cry
Doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
I’m trying to be a better man
And I will
And you will
Understand
You will
This is not goodbye
No, I got no regrets
And we don’t have to say goodbye, yeah
Oh, doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
And we don’t have to say goodbye
Goodnight, it’s just goodnight
Yeah, goodnight, it’s goodnight
Out of the fire there grows a tree
Designed to guiding light
And all of the beers and the tears you cry
Inspires sad songs tonight
Sitting on the side of my bed
Sorry I broke your heart
I think about the gift you gave me and
I’m sorry I broke your heart
But I did (Hurt so bad)
I did (You know I did)
Well, I did (Hurting me)
Well, I did
This is not goodbye
No, I got no regrets
And we don’t have to say goodbye, yeah
Oh, doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
And we don’t have to say goodbye
Tonight, it’s just goodnight, yeah
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Sitting on the floor
Singing a sad song tonight
How could it be
That something so easy
Never seems to turn out right
Sitting on the side of your bed
Sorry I broke your heart
Even with the gifts I gave you
Sorry I broke your heart
But I did
I did
You will
Understand, yeah
Cross my heart, I know the day
Will come when you see the light
But now I sleep alone on the bed I made
And hope everything turns out alright
Sorry that I made you cry
Doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
I’m trying to be a better man
And I will
And you will
Understand
You will
This is not goodbye
No, I got no regrets
And we don’t have to say goodbye, yeah
Oh, doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
And we don’t have to say goodbye
Goodnight, it’s just goodnight
Yeah, goodnight, it’s goodnight
Out of the fire there grows a tree
Designed to guiding light
And all of the beers and the tears you cry
Inspires sad songs tonight
Sitting on the side of my bed
Sorry I broke your heart
I think about the gift you gave me and
I’m sorry I broke your heart
But I did (Hurt so bad)
I did (You know I did)
Well, I did (Hurting me)
Well, I did

And we don’t have to say goodbye
Tonight, it’s just goodnight, yeah
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

@[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.

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.
These might not be 100% correct since I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online and had to listen it through old-school, butttt I'm pretty sure I got the gist of it.
Meaning is self-explanatory. They can't make a bad song, can they?
