This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Bright lights and freight trains
Are rolling fast paced
Into the future or back in time
Way ahead or way behind
But you still creep along all alone
The longest fall has yet to come
You’re obsessing with a story
That's been haunting you for so long
You always wanted to tear down the world
To have something to rebuild
You always wanted to find
The darkest places to hide
But I wondered why?
You always knew that this day would come
Ready for it all along
I didn’t know what to say
Words and thoughts all astray
I was not able to take the pain away
A regret
That’s been sitting there for years
The guilt
That’s been manifesting fears
Bad teeth
Dead roots
A tooth pulled
A youth ruined
If I could
I would choose
To be the one
That could be of use
That could be of use
You always wanted to tear down the world
To have something to rebuild
You always wanted to find
The darkest places to hide
But I wondered why?
You always knew that this day would come
Ready for it all along
I didn’t know what to say
Words and thoughts all astray
I was not able to take the pain away
Are rolling fast paced
Into the future or back in time
Way ahead or way behind
But you still creep along all alone
The longest fall has yet to come
You’re obsessing with a story
That's been haunting you for so long
You always wanted to tear down the world
To have something to rebuild
You always wanted to find
The darkest places to hide
But I wondered why?
You always knew that this day would come
Ready for it all along
I didn’t know what to say
Words and thoughts all astray
I was not able to take the pain away
A regret
That’s been sitting there for years
The guilt
That’s been manifesting fears
Bad teeth
Dead roots
A tooth pulled
A youth ruined
If I could
I would choose
To be the one
That could be of use
That could be of use
You always wanted to tear down the world
To have something to rebuild
You always wanted to find
The darkest places to hide
But I wondered why?
You always knew that this day would come
Ready for it all along
I didn’t know what to say
Words and thoughts all astray
I was not able to take the pain away

@[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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
