@[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.
Color me any color.
Speak to me in tongues and share.
Tell me how you'd love to hate me.
Tell me how you'd love to care.
Well I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Clothe me in any fashion.
Glitter to so mundane.
Tell me how you'd love to change me.
Tell me I can stay the same.
I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together.
Yeah how we gelled.
Speak to me in tongues and share.
Tell me how you'd love to hate me.
Tell me how you'd love to care.
Well I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Clothe me in any fashion.
Glitter to so mundane.
Tell me how you'd love to change me.
Tell me I can stay the same.
I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together.
Yeah how we gelled.

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 heard Ed Roland say the song was about people of the world coming together and forgetting the bullshit. So nuts doog
song signifies how complicated a girl's mind is. She can love and hate at the same time. The singer is trying to communicate properly with his girl and 'gel' with her.
I think this song is about how a band comes together or "Gels" together this is more so in the first verse the second verse is more about how becoming famous can change people the last chorus is basically how at the end we'll all tell our war stories about our times on the stage together
Off the Jerky Boyz soundtrack. Great tune also found on their self-titled album.
This is a song about Unity, kinda with what marff3 was saying.
definitly about unity......its like Ed's trying to say "i know you don't like me, but you don't have a good reason."
To me it's saying "you know you can't resist me, so why avoid me....'lets gel.'"
osm song.....strange video all i have to say
I think the line is "Well let's SPARKLE" not bungle. You're Glittered mundane, therefore you sparkle.
Just my theory... the first album was on a minor label and then the second album was on a major label. I think the song is about the band label shopping. Shine blew up and the labels all wanted them. Some labels would try to change their image, others would let them do what they want. So I think they were shopping for labels and was looking for a company that would "gel" with them.
