@[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 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.

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.
'Tallica fucking butchered it. This was a Gothic classic... nothing on metallica, I just love Nick Cave.
I'm siding with michellew2k on this one, but only slightly. Yeah James sounds like a God, but Kirk can rape me anytime
Nice one whitepride88
One of the sexiest song i ever heard...COOL ONE!!
Nah, this is my opinion only mind, but I thought this song really sucked. Made me cringe the first time I heard it. Pure cheese.
I love this song,The Bad Seeds do it just as well to,but that kick ass wah effect that Kirk uses on his guitar is ace.I think this is a really good song,but it is second best to the awesome cover of Astronomy.
This song is pretty good, one of the better ones on disc one.
By the way, Mercyful Fate is the best cover they do.
LOL This song cracks me up!! "v is for virture so I ain't gonna hurt you" LMAO!
I think James sounds like a GOD on this one! R is for RAPE me!!!ANYTIME JAMES!!!!
i know this isnt a metallica song originally , But metallica did a sweet ass cover of it :P , i feel as if the song is emphasizing on every persons need for sexual conquest , a deep meaning but it can also be ilustrated by its association with ''Love'' hmmm a hard song to understand me thinks
