@[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'm so on top You look in control I've never conquered mountains
with strides to go I never fear and never sin the worst of you is the best of them
Did you ever judge or speak in vain Only the steps I took where in the lord's name
never was about what's right or wrong
This is all a lie cigarettes and coffee couldn't hide I need something stronger
I see it in your face Poison apple in my fairy tale, take me away
The kiss needed to drive me from sleep
Self Medicate to try and match the feeling Anything to feel as beautiful
Means justified by the reason Love more. Lesser I'm loved And start to let go
These are the words daddy couldn't understand at all My son's no faggot
meetings with boys in unmentionable places who will carry on this family name
what will the neighbors think the drugs don't work, but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order
These are the words momma couldn't understand at all My daughter's no slut
starring at the party as a sure fire bet once that keg blows the boys come calling
don't you feel so beautiful the drugs don't work but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order
with strides to go I never fear and never sin the worst of you is the best of them
Did you ever judge or speak in vain Only the steps I took where in the lord's name
never was about what's right or wrong
This is all a lie cigarettes and coffee couldn't hide I need something stronger
I see it in your face Poison apple in my fairy tale, take me away
The kiss needed to drive me from sleep
Self Medicate to try and match the feeling Anything to feel as beautiful
Means justified by the reason Love more. Lesser I'm loved And start to let go
These are the words daddy couldn't understand at all My son's no faggot
meetings with boys in unmentionable places who will carry on this family name
what will the neighbors think the drugs don't work, but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order
These are the words momma couldn't understand at all My daughter's no slut
starring at the party as a sure fire bet once that keg blows the boys come calling
don't you feel so beautiful the drugs don't work but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Seth is leaving the band, didn't ya know? it's really sad and we'll miss him... but the band is gonna continue on. Josh Albright is going to be singing vocals, yay!
oh, and to put rummors to rest, no one is kicking anyone out. it was Seths choice to leave and continue the acoustic path of his new project Paper Mache (go check it out, it's great). and as Josh put it... "we all still love eachother, we still sleep together."
all us fans wish you guys luck.
