@[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 know your secret
And I promise I?ll never tell
I?m under it?s magic spell
Oh I?ll try to keep it to myself
I know you have a terrible vat to keep
Oh how do you get to sleep
It must possess you every waking minute
Wondering just what is in it
Where it is in front of you
I know that you wanted to
Don?t be shy, Pandora
Pandora don?t be shy
Sister, you just can?t resist
Neither can I
And it never hurts to try
Just admit
Open it
Pandora
Well, perhaps you?re right
And you?re happy the way you are
It?s better this way by far
Oh but can you handle never knowing?
And what if you?re wrong?
And just denying yourself the best
Maybe that?s how you fail the test
Oh, don?t you have a life to live
And have you no initiative?
And, quick, before we both decay
Baby, are you made of clay
And
Don?t be shy, Pandora
Pandora don?t be shy
Sister, you just can?t resist
And neither can I
And it never hurts to try
You can?t win
Just give in
Pandora
It?s no sin
Slither in
Pandora
Oh, how can you sit there in silence
With the rest of us forming a line
Do yourself favour Pandora
Anytime today would be fine
Oh don?t be shy, Pandora
Pandora don?t be shy
Sister, you just can?t resist
Neither can I
And it never hurts to try
It?s my turn,
You don?t learn
Pandora
Stand aside
Let me try
Pandora
Give it here
Disappear
Pandora
And I promise I?ll never tell
I?m under it?s magic spell
Oh I?ll try to keep it to myself
I know you have a terrible vat to keep
Oh how do you get to sleep
It must possess you every waking minute
Wondering just what is in it
Where it is in front of you
I know that you wanted to
Don?t be shy, Pandora
Pandora don?t be shy
Sister, you just can?t resist
Neither can I
And it never hurts to try
Just admit
Open it
Pandora
Well, perhaps you?re right
And you?re happy the way you are
It?s better this way by far
Oh but can you handle never knowing?
And what if you?re wrong?
And just denying yourself the best
Maybe that?s how you fail the test
Oh, don?t you have a life to live
And have you no initiative?
And, quick, before we both decay
Baby, are you made of clay
And
Don?t be shy, Pandora
Pandora don?t be shy

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.
