The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
(Intro)
I thought that because I was getting older perhaps my sexual drive was going away because of that but
I just think it’s a different reason and I’m just gonna roll with that that’s the way how I feel so I’m just gonna let yall know
(Verse)
Just for the hell of it I’ll become celibate no more hands will I use to masturbate
Some of yall laugh and some of yall hate not being able to fall in love perhaps it’s faith
Perhaps this is a sign to not find a mate sexual healing it’s a dirty feeling falling in love yes it has no reason
Dick to Virginia it has no meaning tight pink butthole it has no feeling just call me the black Monk yes I feel the funk
Yall celebrate with me if yall don’t well then I’ll know you’re close-minded just try to keep an open-mind
Open up your eyes and don’t be blind and you’ll understand that the truth I’ll find R,E,H,D,O double G yes it’s all mines
(Chorus 2 times)
Just for the hell of it helleridge never have to sell a brick again must I tell a bitch again
The bullshit I’m addressing check mostly next level shit never been fucked in the game I’m celibate
(Verse)
Celibate means not to marry or no sex for religious reasons how hard can it be to be asexual
It takes unusual extreme things to get me hard simple blow jobs and penetration don’t really get me off
Parents never showed love just an asshole of a father who took abuse of the kids and the mother
Cheated on everyone that he could so eventually it disturbed me damaged psychologically in my mind
And that’s why I can’t keep any relationships for a long time that’s just the way that it is
And if I do and it’s gone I say fuck it that’s just the way it’s supposed to be in my head I’m fucked up seriously
(Chorus 2 times)
Just for the hell of it helleridge never have to sell a brick again must I tell a bitch again
The bullshit I’m addressing check mostly next level shit never been fucked in the game I’m celibate
(Verse)
Just for the hell of it I’ll become celibate no more hands will I use to masturbate
Some of yall laugh and some of yall hate not being able to fall in love is that faith
Perhaps this is a sign not find a mate sexual healing it has a dirty feeling for me falling in love yes it has no reason Dick to Virginia has no meaning tight pink butthole it has no feeling just call me the black Monk celibating means not to marry or no sex for religious reasons how hard can it be to be asexual
It takes unusual extreme sex to make me get hard a simple blow job penetration doesn’t get me off
I don’t care that’s just the way I am
(Chorus 2 times)
Just for the hell of it helleridge never have to sell a brick again must I tell a bitch again

@[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.

Plastic Bag
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.
