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”
When I see you lay down
Under pink lacquered skies
Baby I'll give you something
I'll shut your eyes to this mess
When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I take a picture that's instant
It gets lost tonight, oh baby it burns
I said I remember it so I saw your eyes
Go through the tunnel and I remember
Australian sun I was eight years old
You were Marilyn Monroe oh
Gotta take it oh, yeah, take it on
Playing backyard blues, blacktart in their jaw
I can nail, I'll nail this on
Oh, she ate the whole world, break down
Oh, I've tasted, I tasted too, too many nights
Lost in space I remember kneeling down
My knees caught in the ground
When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw gypsy rose, gypsy rose she rose to me
I remember a rolling stone
Rolling on down through the bones
Oh, ya gotta save you gotta save your soul well
She hates the whole world
And when I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw gypsy rose, gypsy rose, she rose to me, baby
I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world and when
I know your sin, I know your sin, I know your wings
Under pink lacquered skies
Baby I'll give you something
I'll shut your eyes to this mess
When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I take a picture that's instant
It gets lost tonight, oh baby it burns
I said I remember it so I saw your eyes
Go through the tunnel and I remember
Australian sun I was eight years old
You were Marilyn Monroe oh
Gotta take it oh, yeah, take it on
Playing backyard blues, blacktart in their jaw
I can nail, I'll nail this on
Oh, she ate the whole world, break down
Oh, I've tasted, I tasted too, too many nights
Lost in space I remember kneeling down
My knees caught in the ground
When I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw gypsy rose, gypsy rose she rose to me
I remember a rolling stone
Rolling on down through the bones
Oh, ya gotta save you gotta save your soul well
She hates the whole world
And when I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world
And when I saw gypsy rose, gypsy rose, she rose to me, baby
I love you, baby
I mean it more than just the whole world and when
I know your sin, I know your sin, I know your wings

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

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.
I am hooked on this song.I think it is so beautiful.For me it is a love song.Like a dream a fantasy of what like could be.
