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.
The days the nights,
the search for an angel
For lack of love
For what I used to be
A certain thing
a certain comfort
One last cloud is over me
She was the one
she was the warm air
She was the talk a best friend gave to me
Four lazy nights in new york city
High above eight-first street
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
The way she walks
the way she wanders
The way she talks
a whisper to my ear
All of the things you take for granted
A far watch discover in a year
They always say they'd give up anything
They always say they watch her with a tear
Don't mean to fake, to be sarcastic
Why must my conscience disappear
All my friends they say I'm useless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
Mirrors on the ceiling
Staring up at my reflection
Its not her that lies above me
All temptation
all the candy
All those phony faces
don't compare to your embraces
I think I've lost my patience
Always down and always wasted
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
I think I let myself love like I should
She's wonderful to you
She's wonderful to me
I think I can believe
She's wonderful with me, me
the search for an angel
For lack of love
For what I used to be
A certain thing
a certain comfort
One last cloud is over me
She was the one
she was the warm air
She was the talk a best friend gave to me
Four lazy nights in new york city
High above eight-first street
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
The way she walks
the way she wanders
The way she talks
a whisper to my ear
All of the things you take for granted
A far watch discover in a year
They always say they'd give up anything
They always say they watch her with a tear
Don't mean to fake, to be sarcastic
Why must my conscience disappear
All my friends they say I'm useless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
Mirrors on the ceiling
Staring up at my reflection
Its not her that lies above me
All temptation
all the candy
All those phony faces
don't compare to your embraces
I think I've lost my patience
Always down and always wasted
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
I think I let myself love like I should
She's wonderful to you
She's wonderful to me
I think I can believe
She's wonderful with me, me

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

great song
its about someone who is reluctant to love a person, that someone is reluctant because s/he is not confident and does not think that the person would love him/her back, but everyone sees that the person (the line, "All my friends they say im useless like i've always been") does like that someone. The song is telling us, go for it, go for what you feel and don't deny yourself, you'd be denying the other person, too
