@[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.
Another night sleepless
I don't wanna feel this
Nothing can stop this pain
Trying to get to a time I forget you
Still tangled in yesterday
It's so easy for you
To feel nothing for me
Did you ever feel anything?
I want you to cry over me (cry over me)
Die over me (die over me)
Even for a moment
Even for a moment
I want you to hurt over me (hurt over me)
Feel what I feel
I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just one time
I want your heart broken
Some sign of emotion
Wanna see the tears tumble down
Show me I meant something
And that you feel nothing
But your world crashing to the ground
It's so easy for you
To forget about me
Did I ever mean anything?
I want you to cry over me (cry over me)
Die over me (die over me)
Even for a moment
Even for a moment
I want you to hurt over me (hurt over me)
Feel what I feel
I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just one time
Cry
Cry
Cry
Well, did you feel something?
Did we mean nothing at all?
I want you to cry over
Cry over me
Die over me
Even for a moment
Even for a moment
I want you to hurt over me (hurt over me)
Feel what I feel
Even for a moment
Oh, why
Can't you just cry over, die over me, baby?
Why can't you hurt like I do
Like I hurt over you?
Can't you cry over, die over me
Baby, just one time?
I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, want you to fall on your knees
Baby, crawl back to me
Won't you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just one time?
Cry
Cry
Cry
I don't wanna feel this
Nothing can stop this pain
Trying to get to a time I forget you

Die over me (die over me)
Even for a moment

I want your heart broken

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

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Love this song, to me this reminds me of a girl I was with, I loved her deeply and thought she did too, 'cept she didn't, she led me to believe that and after we split she said she was hurt and couldn't turn her feelings off for me, but I never saw it, she never seemed bothered by the fact we were over. The anguish in the song really reminds me of how upset I felt after I saw how things were really going, I just wanted her to cry over me for once so it didn't seem those months were a waste and a lie.
