@[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.
Doesn't anybody know how to walk anymore?
Doesn't anybody know what a radio is for?
Doesn't anybody wear their hair down low?
Doesn't anybody know? doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody hate it when the street light turns red?
Doesn't anybody want five more minutes in bed?
Doesn't anybody, doesn't anybody have a letter to send?
Doesn't anybody wish they had just one more friend?
'Cause everybody wants, and everybody needs
Everybody asks for one more piece
Everybody wants to hear someone say please
and everybody takes, and everybody steals
Everybody cries when something feels
Everybody's looking for the drug that heals
Doesn't anybody wanna take another shot at me?
Go ahead the gun is loaded and the bullets are for free
Doesn't everybody spray perfume to cover up a smell?
Doesn't anybody know where to go to get some help?
'Cause everybody wants, and everybody needs
Everybody begs for self esteem
Why don't you get your mind out of the past
And everybody takes and everybody steals
Everybody's been kicked by other heels
Please raise your hands up in the air
Oh, in the air in the air why don't you raise your hands up in the air
Why don't you raise your raise your raise your hands in the air
Why don't raise your hands up in the air
'Cause everybody wants

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is awesome and the point is kinda obvious. I love it!
