@[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.
Do you remember the time when we fell in love?
'Cause I remember the night when you had enough of me creeping, oh
You packed up your bags and said you were leaving
You found a new man and said we were even now
Even now
It's funny how everything seems to even out
Even now
I wish you could put it behind you
Wish you would put up your blinders
Wish you would stop listening to you friends
And come to where no one would find us
Wish you would just keep your focus on me
So I can give you a reminder
That I can be who I'm supposed to
I can do better, I know you remember
Every single night, we were living life in love
Every single time, I was doing right, enough
To keep you around, now look at where I end up
Look where I end up
Remember the time when we fell in love?
'Cause I remember the night when you had enough of my creeping, oh
Baby, it was only for a season, maybe
And it ain't really had nothing to do with you, it was all really me (no, yeah)
'Cause I was tryna see the world like a dog on a leash
And you was tryna hold me back, I ain't wanna let you go, I held on now
I let you go and I knew I should have never let you go ahead of it
You remember every single night, we were living life in love
Every single time, I was doing right, enough
To keep you around, now look at where I end up
Look where I end up
Remember the time when we fell in love?
'Cause I remember the night, I know you had enough of my creeping
Baby, it was only for a season, maybe
Keep going round, round in circles
Hoping you understand my circumstance
Lord knows I never meant to hurt you
Is it because I'm a dog now?
Wish I knew then what I know now
I'm not the same when I go out
I just keep it on the low now
Is it because I'm a dog now?
I'm not the same when I go out
Wish I knew then what I know now
I just keep it on the low now
Don't you remember the time when we fell in love?
'Cause I remember the night, I know you had enough of my creeping
Baby, it was only for a season, maybe
Keep going round, round in circles
Round in circles
Keep, keep, keep going round, round in circles
Round in circles
'Cause I remember the night when you had enough of me creeping, oh
You packed up your bags and said you were leaving
You found a new man and said we were even now
Even now
It's funny how everything seems to even out
Even now
I wish you could put it behind you
Wish you would put up your blinders
Wish you would stop listening to you friends

Wish you would just keep your focus on me
So I can give you a reminder

I can do better, I know you remember

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
