Everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Pure frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So take a chance and step outside
Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you tried
Meet frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So lose some sleep and say you tried

@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
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 like the odd sounds in the beginning of this song. (I think he's lighting a match or something..) Ahh, Ians' voice gives me an eargasm. Almost every time I hear it. Joy Division is like a drug for me... the more I listen to it.. trrr... the 'hungrier' I get. For me the meaning of this song.. uumm.. I think it's about which choices you make in life.. like when you have a dream.. you should make everything you possibly can to make it happen.. you should live it out.. as close as you can get.. otherwise you'll always think of the things 'that might have been' and you'll never find peace.. it will haunt you.. otherwise you're just throwing your life away... and even if you don't succeed, then in the end, you can still say that atleast I tried..
but that's just my point of view
you need to make an effort to get out of your own little world, the ego.
Do these people that comment actually even listen to the song?
The song is called Autosuggestion. Plainly enough, a reference to Auto-suggestive therapy. From this the structure of the song and the relevant verses should make it clear enough:
Here, here Everything is by design
So take a chance and step outside Lose some sleep and say you tried Meet frustration face to face
As for the song it's absolutely masterful, especially the Substance recording. The music - is this dark dismal sound that fills the background for its entire duration, and than you can hear the distinct voice of Ian, akin to the faint glow of candle lighting a dark room on a cold winter night.
So lose some sleep and say you tried So lose some sleep and say you tried
That was actually the attempted remedy to which I was alluding. If you think about it, for someone with severe enough depression, trying to reaffirm or modify one's life through positive or constructive repeated ideas could potentially only trigger a backlash of far more negative thoughts.<br /> <br /> Which, I posited, was the essence of the song: Trying, then failing, to modify one's own behaviour. The end is ambiguous, however...<br /> <br /> The music is indeed sublime. The way the production balances each of the elements transforms the piece into something wonderfully deep and alien. In fact, it was this - in conjunction with a very weird in-joke about creating "therapy tapes for increasing insanity" - that I named my own band Autosuggestion. Aspirations, indeed.
Being depressed, weary, and having a growing sense of frustration with everyone and everything, no faith in anything. In trying to remedy that, it only gets worse.
Don't be so optimistic. Seems like he's saying there's no point in "taking a chance and stepping outside" as you will only "meet frustration face to face". Joy Division rules.
To me this song seems to be about despair. "lose some sleep and say you tried" meaning a half-assed effort for trying to change, (yourself, the world, society, etc..) and demonstrating how "losing sleep" and worrying about something gives us just enough of a good conscience so that we can relieve ourselves of guilt without really doing anything to change it. We consider ourselves to be "good people" because we worried about something, which means that we care, which is more than most people do, so we are better than the rest of society, so now we can sleep easy knowing that we are better/good.
