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.
I'm sorry Mr. Policeman
If I wanted to talk I would have called a friend
Don't worry when I get back home
I'll just stay in bed, I'm better off alone
I woke up to my glory days
Never was a child, I was born this way
Always there but always out of place
Feels so alien
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Is it the world I'm living in?
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
Sorry but I don't recall the crime
My memory has left me behind
May have been a man, maybe a friend
Or maybe aliens
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Is it the world I'm living in?
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
That I could ever be your friend
Is it the world I'm living in?
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Just a loser in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
If I wanted to talk I would have called a friend
Don't worry when I get back home
I'll just stay in bed, I'm better off alone
I woke up to my glory days
Never was a child, I was born this way
Always there but always out of place
Feels so alien
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Is it the world I'm living in?
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
Sorry but I don't recall the crime
My memory has left me behind
May have been a man, maybe a friend
Or maybe aliens
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
I don't know what I know
But I know where it's at
Just because I lost it doesn't mean I want it back
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Is it the world I'm living in?
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
That I could ever be your friend
Is it the world I'm living in?
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
Just a loser in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care
You don't get it (get it, get it, get it)
I'm just a creep in a t-shirt, jeans, I don't fucking care

@[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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
