@[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.
No matter what I feel for you
Those three words I can't say
I regret the times I used the word OK
I know how much it means when people show they really care
Of the value in honesty I'm quite aware
But still there's much in my that I don't share
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared, to say what I think of you
The other way around, I'd say
I function the same way
The darker sides of me I underplay
Affraid to get into conflicts
Affraid to tell you NO
Though I know this weekness keeps me low
There's so much inside me that I don't show
Something I can never show
Why I don't know...
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared, to say what I think of you
I'm too scared of what I really think of you
Those three words I can't say
I regret the times I used the word OK
I know how much it means when people show they really care
Of the value in honesty I'm quite aware
But still there's much in my that I don't share
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared, to say what I think of you
The other way around, I'd say
I function the same way
The darker sides of me I underplay
Affraid to get into conflicts
Affraid to tell you NO
Though I know this weekness keeps me low
There's so much inside me that I don't show
Something I can never show
Why I don't know...
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared, to say what I think of you
I'm too scared of what I really think of you

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.

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
BArcky said: Yeah, it's definitely about standing up to someone and telling the truth. This song appears to be dealing with Nikola upset with the fact that he doesn't have the guts to say what's on his mind, all because he wants to avoid conflict (second verse).
It doesn't really matter if its about love or hate. It's about speaking up for your true opinion. I does remind me however of myself, like:
EtNiEsChIcK23 said: I love this song, because it reminds me of this guy I’m in love with, but i can’t say what I think because i dont’ have the guts. But, whenever I’m feeling down..I listen to this! I think it’s about just what it says it’s about. It’s about a guy or girl who wants to tell the person they like that they like them, but they’re scared. It’s a really good song, that everyone can relate to.
I got the exact same thing. There's this girl I really like, but I just couldn't tell her, and now my chance is wasted. She has another boyfriend, and I'll never make a chance now, for I'm now a regular friend. So for me the song means, don't ever let that happen again.
