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.
Demeanor typical
Acts like she cares
But you don't mean a thing
She'll do this all night
Leading them on and on
You'll start to care
It's what she did to me
She did it all night
This is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
like she forgets now
This is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
I'm talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over and over
Favor the physical
Never a name
It's what she left in me
I'll do it all night
Damage is critical
Never the same
Left me aching, talking, faking, playing
'cuz this, this, this is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
like she forgets now
This is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
I'm talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over
I'm talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over and over
The opposite of everything that girl could want
is nothing like the man that I was
before she got me
She taught me
how to take and get away scot-free
Sorry
I'm talking, talking, talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over
I'm talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over and over
Acts like she cares
But you don't mean a thing
She'll do this all night
Leading them on and on
You'll start to care
It's what she did to me
She did it all night
This is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
like she forgets now
This is what you get
for messing with the wrong kind
I can't forget
I'm talking about a bad girl
(I want it, I want it)
Bad girl
(You want me, you want me)
Bad girl
Dontcha go nowhere but closer
I'll let you work me over
And over and over
Favor the physical
Never a name
It's what she left in me
I'll do it all night

Left me aching, talking, faking, playing

@[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.

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.
