@[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.
Ooh-ooh
Where do you wanna, baby?
Where do you wanna, baby?
Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa, mmm
Where do you wanna, baby?
Got somebody, she is a beauty
Very special, really and truly
Take good care of me like it's her duty
Want you right by my side, night and day
No letting go, no holding back
Because you are my lady
When I'm with you it's all of that
Girl, I'm so glad we've made it
No letting go, no holding back
No holding back, no, yeah
When I'm with you it's all of that
All of that (yeah, yeah, baby)
They say good things must come to an end
But I'm optimistic about being your friend
Though I make you cry by my doings
With Keisha and Anisha
But that was back then
No letting go, no holding back
Because you are my lady
When I'm with you it's all of that
Girl, I'm so glad we've made it
No letting go, no holding back
No holding back, no, yeah
When I'm with you it's all of that
All of that, yeah, yeah, yeah
Really appreciate you loving me
After all that we've been through
Really appreciate you loving me
All times, time
Got somebody, she is a beauty
Very special, really and truly
Take good care of me like it's her duty
Want you right by my side, night and day
No letting go, no holding back
Because you are my lady
When I'm with you it's all of that
Girl, I'm so glad we've made it
No letting go, no holding back
No holding back, no, yeah

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
A neighbor of mine threw a house party and at one point the DJAY played this song. Brought back SO much memories of early 2003. I was 12 years, summer camp, sleep overs, dances, and stepping. Aw.
Great song. A classic definitely.
