@[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.
Everyone is up in my face
need to get out of this place
it's hard to see with you in front of my face
just another perfect day
acting like they wanna talk to me
so fake yet so friendly
My eyes can see even the back of me
won't you just let me be
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
It seems everyone is up in my space
like it's the American way
I run in case somebody takes my place
just another change of pace
I know you think you know a lot about me
but so many wanna doubt me
that my eyes can even see
even the back of me
won't you just let me be
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away, another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
Every which way I turn I've got
the option of a million choices
every single word I say is
Judged by a million critics
Every which way you turn you've got
the sound of a million voices
Every single move you make is
torn by a million cynics
When will we all see the light of day?
I don't know
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away, another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
need to get out of this place
it's hard to see with you in front of my face
just another perfect day
acting like they wanna talk to me
so fake yet so friendly
My eyes can see even the back of me
won't you just let me be
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
It seems everyone is up in my space
like it's the American way
I run in case somebody takes my place
just another change of pace
I know you think you know a lot about me

that my eyes can even see

'Cause everyone is falling away

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.
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“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.
I can relate. I am a loner in real life, I do not think I fit in. Everyone acts like they wanna talk to me, "So fake yet so friendly." I have friends, but " everyone is falling away, feel like they're stolen from me." They fall into their own groups, and I don't try to fit in. Most things go wrong for me in my social life; when i try to ask a crush out, I always fail, stuff like that. It leads to lower self esteem. "Wish everything didn't happen to me, all I want is faith, love and happiness." "Every time one runs away another one's returning" to me means that when they all leave, someone just comes back anyways. When everyone leaves, I just wanna see them again.
" I know you think you know a lot about me, but so many wanna doubt me. " This means, of course, they think they know me, but they don't. I haven't shown many people my cheerful, nice guy side (You would call me depressed). They see a weird or sad side to me, and they judge me by that, they want to doubt me. "My eyes can see even the back of me, won't you just let me be." They laugh and make fun of me behind my back, I know what they do, can't they just leave me alone!?
"Every which way I turn I've got the option of a million choices, every single word I say is judged by a million critics. Every which way you turn you hear the sound of a million voices. Every single move you make is torn by a million cynics. When will we all see the light of day? I don't know. " Everywhere I go I've got so many options, everything I say is judged by them, I hear they're voices everywhere, When will we all see the light?
I guess it could be peer pressure, or it could be like my life describes it, I don't know.
