@[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.
You don't understand
This is not what you think it is
You don't get it, man
You want to boil it down to show biz
Your in-depth research shows:
Drop the God, emphasize the beat
I've heard that positive pop you dig
I'd rather be buried in wet concrete
Take back your free advice
I don't accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
You don't understand
I'm not talking multiple choice
You don't get it, man
If the cross offends you, find another voice
I am not running for office here
I won't keep it purposefully vague
I've heard New Age Life-force trip
I'd rather be dipped in bubonic plague
Take back your free advice
I don't accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
[Repeat: x2]
Faith ain't easy to understand
When a bird in the bush beats two in the hand
The truth ain't nothing you taste and hide
You gotta get up, put up, get off your backside
If we keep silent
If we mass defect
These very rocks will scream
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
And would I wash my hands again?
Would I deny my savior when
He hung inside the public square?
Did not my silence put him there?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Your in-depth research shows - drop the God, emphasize the beat ... I’d rather be buried in wet concrete. That about says it all. It's talking about not "watering down" their message or basically turning secular, dropping their message.
It's about people who don't like others expressing their faith in god, and these guys are obviously annyoyed at this in the song, gods no secret to be kept, so they can talk about him and not water down messages if they want to.
I can apply it to people in my own life, I am proud of the faith but others hate me for it, some do.
Also, theres a verse missed out of here
Faith ain't easy to understand When a burden of bush comes to the hand The truth ain't nothing you taste and hide You gotta get up, put up, get off your backside Get up, put up, get off your backslide
Mather15, that's the version with TobyMac featured on SHhine: the hits. This was the original version, albiet the one I don't have. I love this song, it's absolutly great.
