Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
In this life, I
Breathe for you and me
For ourselves.
We tire endlessly
In the way
In the way of when we disagree.
End the day again...
I feel the disheartening, but I still go on in a destructive vow.
For you, it takes so long just to take back things you didn't mean...
and I will do the same...and it seems too late now. It seems to be so
Innocent, just like a dream.
To get out of this tired scene and fuck up yet another day...
and fade away all that I say.
Will me and you go on again, knowing this pain that it's been?
My invitation to keep killing me.
For all of what we have destroying this.
Indirect: a trait I'll never miss...
I feel it surrounding me while you take the fall.
To get out of this tired scene, and fuck up yet another day...
and fade away all that I say.
Will me and you go on again, knowing this pain that it's been?
My invitation to keep killing me.
We don't survive so well...here, in our living hell.
We don't survive so well...here, in our living hell.
Our life, our agony. Please stop forgiving me.
When all is lost, lost is all I am.
Breathe for you and me
For ourselves.
We tire endlessly
In the way
In the way of when we disagree.
End the day again...
I feel the disheartening, but I still go on in a destructive vow.
For you, it takes so long just to take back things you didn't mean...
and I will do the same...and it seems too late now. It seems to be so
Innocent, just like a dream.
To get out of this tired scene and fuck up yet another day...
and fade away all that I say.
Will me and you go on again, knowing this pain that it's been?
My invitation to keep killing me.
For all of what we have destroying this.
Indirect: a trait I'll never miss...
I feel it surrounding me while you take the fall.
To get out of this tired scene, and fuck up yet another day...
and fade away all that I say.
Will me and you go on again, knowing this pain that it's been?
My invitation to keep killing me.
We don't survive so well...here, in our living hell.
We don't survive so well...here, in our living hell.
Our life, our agony. Please stop forgiving me.
When all is lost, lost is all I am.

@[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.
Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing

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.
