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.
Talk to me tonight
Is everything alright
Help me understand you
You go out with your friends
And talk to other men
And our love life is a wasteland
And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made
Chorus:
Cause things wont change without you
Forfeit the lies that maimed you
Wanna dance with the lines and change things
But I can't do it without you
You told me I'm the one
And now you're out of love
In your eyes it's hard to find you
If we could take some time
And cut out all the lies
I'd find a heart more stable
And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made
So take it easy girl
You're falling through the night
Your Mona Lisa eyes
Will comfort me the rest of my life
Chorus
Chorus
And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you
And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you
You
You
Without you
Is everything alright
Help me understand you
You go out with your friends
And talk to other men
And our love life is a wasteland
And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made
Chorus:
Cause things wont change without you
Forfeit the lies that maimed you
Wanna dance with the lines and change things
But I can't do it without you
You told me I'm the one
And now you're out of love
In your eyes it's hard to find you
If we could take some time
And cut out all the lies
I'd find a heart more stable
And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made
So take it easy girl
You're falling through the night
Your Mona Lisa eyes
Will comfort me the rest of my life
Chorus
Chorus
And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you
And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you
You
You
Without you

@[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.

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 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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This is such an incredible song... they have a love - she seems to be distancing herself & he wants to bring her back and save what they had. It is beautiful and sung with such emotion.
