Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by low light
Side tracked low light
Can't see my tracks your scent way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel calm
Voice blows by low light
Car crash low light
Can't wear my mask your first my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by low light
Side tracked low light
Can't see my tracks your scent way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel calm
Voice blows by low light
Car crash low light
Can't wear my mask your first my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see

@[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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
OK, I'v never thought about the meaning of this song before, but I think it's just about being confused, and how you have to trust what you feel, not what you see. 1st verse- Clouds and wind are constantly changing. It's difficult to get a clear view of things. "Is it just my way"- questioning whether there is one 'right' way or if people can find their own way. 2nd- Easy. He can't see where he's come from. He's got no chance of seeing ahead. 3rd- Not sure, but it suggests panic and a loss of emotion. 4th- Books ('fact') are not helpful. Jealousy ('emotion') compromises judgement. "I will feel calm"- he can find his way if he focuses on what he knows to be true without outside knowledge (books) or emotion (jealousy). 5th- "Low light. Car crash"- the consequences of relying on what you see. Not sure about the mask bit. 6th- Repeating message of 1st and 5th verses 7th- "I need the light"- If I can see clearly, I can find my way. "What's real? The dream I see."- Dreams are seen through the spirit, not the eyes. If the trusts himself, the light will not matter.
Good interpretations<br /> <br /> Just about the mask a bit seeing as you said you weren't sure of it<br /> <br /> Masks are usually symbolic of the PERSONA a person chooses to display e.g. Around only just your mates you will put on a mask that is 'a blokey' type of person. Yet if you were visiting a friend in the hospital your personality will be more respectful. <br /> <br /> Get me?<br /> <br /> This line about masks is in response to the line he says just before it 'poise blows by'. So say if this song is about a car crash or the breaking up of a relationship, he says poise blows by, so in that moment he broke down and was hysterical (say when he was cradling his girlfriend after a crash)<br /> <br /> So this line about 'Can wear my mask' is clearly after the event and he has reverted back to a stage where he can not break down and 'mask' his emotions<br /> <br /> Well thats how i see it anyhows :) hope this helps<br /> Just remember that Pearl Jam are an amazing band that make songs that never really be viewed in only one way<br /> <br /> -Daniel
