This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You know you're stunning
You're absolutely stunning
And I'm running always running
And now I'm crying
It's only cause I'm caring
And if you were more daring
Maybe you'd stop staring
And come over and talk to me
Tell me bout how you've been waiting so patiently
And how you tried but I just turned away
And I'll say yeah well you know,
I'm shy that way
Shy that way
Maybe I'm shy that way
Ohh you know you're stunning
You're absolutely stunning
But you're always runnin'
But I'll catch up to you
The way you keep your distance is
Keeping my interest
So I'll keep it persistent
Ohh maybe someday
Someway, somehow in some town
We'll get together and
We'll break it down
And I'll ask why you've been
So shy, gotta be that way
Maybe baby, oh love, I like it that way
Shy that way
You know I love you so shy,
Shy that way
So keep it comin' comin' comin' comin'
Shy that way
There's always too much talking
And I wanna just keep walking
But I keep staring baby
Keep staring
Though I may not know the right things to say
I'll get it out to you one day
I'm shy that way
You're shy that way
Do you like it
Do you like it?
When I'm shy this way?
Yes I like it
Yes I like it
When you're shy
Shy that way
I like it
I like it shy
You know it's alright, it's ok
'Cause we're
Shy that wayâ?¦
You're absolutely stunning

And how you tried but I just turned away
And I'll say yeah well you know,

You're absolutely stunning

Holiday

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
