@[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.
Hero forty three
You're number one
On the right side of this conversation
Faithful what you've done
May your conscience
For the taking
Failure number two
When I turn to you
I don't want to watch the war
I don't want to watch the war
When I turn to you
I don't want to watch the world
I don't know who we're fighting for
Careful indecision
The battle cry
Healers become weapons
Therefore lessons
His eye for your eye
In the name of by the light of
Temporary truth
When I turn to you
I don't want to watch the war
I don't want to watch the war
When I turn to you
I don't want to watch the war
I don't want to watch the war
When I try to sleep and lay my body down
Was your fault in betting hands
When no one is around
No conclusions tell me
Why we do what we do now
When I turn to you
When I turn to you
I don't want to watch the war
I don't want to watch the war
I don't know who we're fighting for
Get a little peace from the western man
Get a little crazy god will understand
We don't need a spark going to burn this down
With the bombs in the hands of the lost and found
I don't want to watch the war
I don't want to watch the war
You're number one

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.

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.
