@[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.
Sitting at the edge of the bed
One million thoughts as I reflect.
Tease me just a little I'm not hard to persuade
fully aware for this that I might pay.
Not too much that can be said
Thinking about the bad things in my head,
Always wondering if what they said was true
Now I'm in the bed with...
Even though she was no stranger,
Chose the one keep me out of danger.
No song and dance just jump right in.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Standing in the doorway of distress
Ask MD, for ways out of this mess,
A wave of panic every time I lose a hair
I believe I'm falling apart but not quite despair.
Turns into this one thing I just can't ignore
Don't know what I am feeling anymore
I guess it's time to end this affair
Like I don't care I don't care.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Even though she was no stranger
Chose the one keep me out of danger
No song and dance I took my chances with her
No time to waste.
Just jump right in I said to her
Stand in the doorway of distress
No time to waste just jump right in,
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
One million thoughts as I reflect.

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.

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song is actually about 'doin' the wild thing' without protection ('skin to skin') and then finding out that you had contracted HIV. (check the second verse)
has nothing to do with HIV silly.... it has to do with he had sex with a friend of his, his good girlfriend that kept him out of trouble, and he asking his pstchiatrist how to stop being with her, because he is unsure if he likes her more then a friend, he doesnt really want more. Was just supposed to be fun sex and now it's really complicated and he is stressed out.
Been in that same situation and yeah it's prettty bad, but I'd do it all over again, sex was damn good..... eh, lost my friend though ;)
No, Vertigorn, I think it's pretty obviously about the HIV thing. Look at the "Always wondering if what they said was true" line. Rumors about her being HIV+. "A wave of panic every time I lose a hair"...he's talking about being excessively paranoid. In fact the whole second verse fits that theory. "Taking a chance with her", "skin to skin"...
I think it's pretty clearly to do with HIV.
this song is about doin the wild thing...
wow, never thought of the HIV theory, I just thought it was about doin it, makes sence now that I see the lyrics written down
i think that steve is trying to say that he doenst worry about contracting a disease, because disease's are only given to those who are unworthy.
