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.
Our love is forbidden
That just makes me want you more
I keep it all hidden
My in-laws would treat me like an outlaw
But I don't think I can just sit and watch
From afar
Something as beautiful as you are
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
Might just have obeyed it
For a while
I tell myself that I've moved on
But I'm still crazy about you
And just because I'm not allowed
Doesn't mean that I don't want to
I don't think I can just be your mate
Anymore
Hell is the truth learned too late
If you didn't want
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
For a while
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
For a while
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
That just makes me want you more
I keep it all hidden
My in-laws would treat me like an outlaw
But I don't think I can just sit and watch
From afar
Something as beautiful as you are
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
Might just have obeyed it
For a while
I tell myself that I've moved on
But I'm still crazy about you
And just because I'm not allowed
Doesn't mean that I don't want to
I don't think I can just be your mate
Anymore
Hell is the truth learned too late
If you didn't want
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
For a while
Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
For a while
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love

Holiday

@[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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is a typical catchy love song about two individuals that for whatever reason, are apart and the singer is wanting to break every rule in the book to be with the person. On a personal level, this song speaks to me, as it can demonstrate the anguish that one person can have when in love with another, the love is forbidden, difficult to both touch and understand, but it doesn't stop, often playing up the cliche saying 'love conquers all'. A lovely, and uplifting song.
