@[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.
Old world has left in starvation and disease
fourteen ninety-two bring a new change to see
Across the ocean the would sail
(following out the dark blaze)
They keep the route with an endless faith
[bridge:]
far beyond the earth's edge
they will reach their dreams
as a privilege
sun still spreads out it beams
[Chorus:]
With the winds of the sea
always blowing from the east
three boats dare to face
sailing through the inferno's gate
just a will, a belief
which could cross the deep abyss
to discover a new world
saving humanity
suddenly a joyful cry
was heard in the advanced night
the long awaited sight
was seen below the sky
new treasures shine before my eyes
(they're bright like a burning fire)
I will enjoy the eternal sea of life
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
aventus nautarum in novan terram
argentum aurumque America
but they didn't know
that this virgin ground
was an unknown land that's overgrown
new eden's found
the lost paradise
Mankind's dawn is beginning to rise
this land is wild
Our boots were defiled
Our dreams will be reality
the native's pain
always in vain
our glory was their agony
But when Columbus told the queen
all the thing he'd seen
he had to submit and be agreed
With kingdom's greed
[Chorus]
fourteen ninety-two bring a new change to see
Across the ocean the would sail
(following out the dark blaze)
They keep the route with an endless faith
[bridge:]
far beyond the earth's edge
they will reach their dreams
as a privilege
sun still spreads out it beams
[Chorus:]
With the winds of the sea
always blowing from the east
three boats dare to face

just a will, a belief

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Wow, this song is so true ^_^ I like how fanciful they made it sound lol
