@[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.
Everyday is a vivid nightmare,
ever since I left the high chair
waking up to miss the school bus
breaking up again is too much
Everything I did was no good
close to so good, but always no good
even if I changed, is my destiny the same?
Maybe I'm a little sensitive and high-strung
mentally abused when so young
We've heard it all before
the criticism I ignore
It aint enough to be myself and speak free
Stand on this ground that lies beneath me
Life that burns so cool then so hot (?)
don't underestimate me, big shot!
Don't need these conversations
They feel like masturbation
Too much anticipation
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
I make my decisions,
based on your reactions
To get my satisfaction.
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
See I'm the boy that made things happen
Driven by complete compassion
I'm always thinking about tomorrow
But today is where I borrow
my mistakes cause now I'm learning
lessons that just keep on burnin'
I'm easily amused and just as easily confused.
Maybe life aint much worth livin'
but its the gift that keeps on givin'
No matter what your dealt
and no matter how your felt
Think about the times that we had zero problems
Everyday could last forever
But life burns so cold and so hot
Don't underestimate me, big shot!
Don't need these conversations
They feel like masturbation
Too much anticipation
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
I make my decisions,
based on your reactions
To get my satisfaction.
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
And soon you'll see
the truth can be
A friend in need of you and me
It's so much easier if you,
you just don't care!
Shut it up, shut, shut it, shut it up
Look at my face
look at my face
Don't treat me like innocence
and think that I can't see though your plasticness
Don't pretend that you comprehend
and think that I can't tell
you've lost your place again.
It's all good
It's all right
Now I'm realizing who I'm dealin' with
It's all good
It's all right
Now I'm realizing who I'm dealin' with
It's all good
It's all right
Now I'm realizing who I'm dealin' with
Realizing who I'm dealin with!
Don't need these conversations
They feel like masturbation
Too much anticipation
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
I make my decisions,
based on your reactions
To get my satisfaction.
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
And soon you'll see
the truth can be
A friend in need of you and me
And soon you'll see your,
your enemy,
A friend in need of you, is me
It's so much easier if you,
you just don't care!
Shut it up, shut, shut it up, shut it up
