@[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 letter explains everything
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers
If I decide to finally give it to you
I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
The lines are perfectly written to break
Wide open this conclusion
And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt
I know that time wont change a thing
If we're all moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down
And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one
It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt
I'm confused
Don't know what I should do now
You, you could lose everything close to you
Tell me how does this feel
When it feels like i've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one... yea
It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, the one full of doubt
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers
If I decide to finally give it to you
I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
The lines are perfectly written to break
Wide open this conclusion
And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt
I know that time wont change a thing
If we're all moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down
And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one
It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt
I'm confused
Don't know what I should do now
You, you could lose everything close to you
Tell me how does this feel
When it feels like i've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one... yea
It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, the one full of doubt

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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
These lyrics are wrong.
one example is it's "I'm the one, the one full of doubt" not Then why am i so full of doubt ...its not even close...lol
