This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
when a man loves a woman, he gets to her
into her and onto her
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
when a man loves a woman, he treats her good
he touches her and tells her things
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff
when a man loves a woman, he breaks her down
he steals her lust
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
when a man loves a woman, he beats her up
abuses her and calls her things
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff
into her and onto her
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
when a man loves a woman, he treats her good
he touches her and tells her things
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff
when a man loves a woman, he breaks her down
he steals her lust
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
when a man loves a woman, he beats her up
abuses her and calls her things
when a man loves a woman, he knows just what to do
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff
give me the loving, give me the feeling
give me the touch
give me the movement, give me the sorrow
give me the stuff

@[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.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i think this song is about spousal abuse... and then, the whole "i hit you because i love you, baby" thing.
I think you're completely off about this song. It's not about domestic violence at all!<br /> <br /> It's about the power people in love have over their significant others imho. I mean, whether you're a man or a woman, when you love someone, you basically have their hearts in your hands, you have SO much power over them. You can love them, give them all, of course, do lots of things for them, but you can also break them (as in break their spirit and heart) cos you know them well. If you want, you could destroy them whether with words or through your actions cos you'd "know what to do". You have that power much power and if you decide to use it, you could really hurt someone. <br /> <br /> That said, I love this song. It's so touching: it shows how great and all encompassing and yet sometimes dangerous Love can be.
pretty straight forward, the refrains begin with "give me..." Point of view of a person with too much greed and see women as only objects to be taken advantage of - emotionally, sexually, materially.
People have screwed up expectations regarding love. Mine included. I am in repair. Society is ill. We learn through osmosis. But don't blame. Take charge of yourself.
Try reading Rumi, Kabir and other great love poetry to recover. Make friends with yourself. Find your mentors in life who point to the positive. When you care for yourself, you begin to care about others. When you care for the world, the world cares for you back. Learn to go beyond your wounds. Let time heal, and bloom when you are ready. Then real relationships develop.
