@[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.
kissing the light kissing the day
i've just got to fade away
got to find some clothes to wear
close the door and pay the fare
the beautiful ones go take their test
never leaving our souls to rest
clouds shadows fall, there's truth in jest
is it true that father knows best
everybody stands in the pouring rain
she won't share her darkest side
she's got so much to hide
strange eyes see what's make believe
looking through you and me
well I've come to see and I've heard the call
believe in me one and all
you don't know why you just get by
listen and learn you needn't reply
cross the line feel unkind
how could I be so blind
my world turns
while your world burns
the judge retires the jury adjourns
kissing the light kissing the day
i've just got to fade away
got to find someone who cares
close the door and climb the stairs
i've just got to fade away
got to find some clothes to wear
close the door and pay the fare
the beautiful ones go take their test
never leaving our souls to rest
clouds shadows fall, there's truth in jest
is it true that father knows best
everybody stands in the pouring rain
she won't share her darkest side
she's got so much to hide
strange eyes see what's make believe
looking through you and me
well I've come to see and I've heard the call
believe in me one and all
you don't know why you just get by
listen and learn you needn't reply
cross the line feel unkind
how could I be so blind
my world turns
while your world burns
the judge retires the jury adjourns
kissing the light kissing the day
i've just got to fade away
got to find someone who cares
close the door and climb the stairs
