@[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.
This day probably tore me apart
And I didn’t even know it
This day probably ate up my heart
And I got nothing to show for it
Why, why is it so, so, so easy to compromise
This fog is like strawberry pie
But it keeps you keep on reaching
Here I am just watching me die
Just uh watching death that uh coming up
Coming up creeping
Why, why don’t you start
Calling me ungrateful
Oh yeah…
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
My soul here a million to one
Says I didn’t even see it
Looking up looking down at my soul
Looking everywhere but don't know
Where the help is come, coming from
Why, why do I seem broken stumbling
Everytime I can hear
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
Come on now
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
Ha, I don’t wanna lose your way
No, I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil, devil archerist
And I didn’t even know it
This day probably ate up my heart
And I got nothing to show for it
Why, why is it so, so, so easy to compromise
This fog is like strawberry pie
But it keeps you keep on reaching
Here I am just watching me die
Just uh watching death that uh coming up
Coming up creeping
Why, why don’t you start
Calling me ungrateful
Oh yeah…
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
My soul here a million to one
Says I didn’t even see it
Looking up looking down at my soul
Looking everywhere but don't know
Where the help is come, coming from
Why, why do I seem broken stumbling
Everytime I can hear
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
Come on now
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don’t wanna lose your way
Ha, I don’t wanna lose your way
No, I don’t wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil, devil archerist

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song and artist! Plus woo hoo first comment :)
Beautiful song. Still undecided on wht it means to me, though.
I adore this song, the beginning is great when you first hear it and her voice is so powerful during the chorus.
I don't really know what this song is actually about, but what I got from it was that someone is in a really unhealthy relationship and they're only just realising the damage its done to them: "This day probably tore me apart, and I didn�t even know it" But they can't seem to leave: "This fog is like strawberry pie but it keeps you keep on reaching". So now theyre trying to get away and get back on the right track ("i'm running to the light" etc). Im not sure, but thats just how I interpreted it. But I guess it can mean different things to people so who knows?
