This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We stood our ground waiting for the fight to begin. My eyes squinted at the sun, wondering if they'd swing or run. I tell no lie: jackknives in socks, they're all gonna die. Tensions rise. Pre-pubes swarm the hill like flies. Get the caskets ready, we're going to tear right through this city. That's if the anger don't, that's if the boredom don't, the drinking don't intercept this north-end horde. Who am I? Fighting a war that I can't win. Swelling with things we try to hide. You never leave anyone behind. A harsh return that slaps you in the face. For one last chance, we leave this place. We're all packing up and moving on. I've got a war in the head. Fear our lives won't pass as great events. A better prospect hides up ahead. Do you feel it in the air? We've been crushed beyond oblivion. Farce and death walk hand in hand. Graves and memorial walls hold my family name. Pills and bottles do the same. I hope that freedom's coming our way.
The fight never happened. The crowd petered out. We all dribbled home. Mission accomplished.
The fight never happened. The crowd petered out. We all dribbled home. Mission accomplished.

@[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.

Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
i still havent figured out this song...tell me what you think it means...NOW
"Farce and death walk hand in hand. Graves and memorial walls hold my family name. Pills and bottles do the same. I hope that freedom's coming our way."

I thought it was about protesting against war.
The fight never happened - mission accomplished?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! someone tell me there intirpritation of this song...i don't get it...help!!
NOWWWW ...:(
It means that bad things will happen to those who repeatedly leave messages on the message board - despite the fact that they are receiving no reply.
Fighting personal conflict, and trying to leave the past behind. Within this personal conflict, there are many things, such as the fear of death, fear of dying without leaving a mark somewhere, and there's this feeling that they will get a better life if they move away from their past. But then, we're all under the power of consensus, and nothing heppened to change anything, so the lives remain the same.
I agree with No Hero, up above there. The only other thing I might add to this is that it could be about fighting the system. The anger and desire to make a change and shake the system to the ground is strong (especially as young kids, "pre-pubes") but as you get older you let other things get in the way (boredom, drinking, etc.) People move on without fighting, and in the end nothing changes because everyone's drive petered out.
I think this is about protesting and how you don't need to start a fight to get your message heard.
Literally there is lots of reference to protests... War? Maybe. I don't know. March of The Crabs is a time of year on Christmas Island where 130 million land crabs march down a hill to lay eggs in the water and then march back up the hill till sexual maturity leaving nothing behind and letting nothing stand in the way. Closer to the end " Graves and memorial walls hold my family name. Pills and bottles do the same." I think that this is a definate anti-war stance. " The fight never happened. The crowd petered out. We all dribbled home. Mission accomplished." A successful protest probably encouraging more to get off their fucking asses and not let the governement paint blood on societies hands. Propagandhi's position not mine. Am I wrong?
