@[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.
You're eyes will never see
An end to this war
Never fall down to submission
Stand fast moving on
We will never fall down to submission
I see the terror in our eyes
I know all we left behind
So much can never be replaced
So much hate is in our eyes
I see we can't hold up to them
I see them now closing in
We have no chance
No chance to survive
I see the fire in the air
Never see and end to this war
We will never fall down to submission
Never falling down to submission
Never falling down to submission
Bombing fills the air
Outnumbered burning soldiers
Soaked in fire
Their cries for help go unnoticed
The rebelling soldiers
Run to save their lives
They will never make it
Before they are burned alive
My voice trembles in fear
Before I know it
It's too late
I see the pyromanic pilot
Aiming from the sky
Their bodies fall burning
Raining blood of the hunted
No justice in this slaughter
No redemption in this conquer
We await the massacre
Our destruction
Attacking aviation
Death from the sky
The domination of our kind
Will soon become the world
They destroyed our borders
Enforced with everything we had Breaking down the walls
And left nothing alive
The sickened laughter
Of these demented killing machines
Consumes my every thought
As I feel it's my last hour
The bodies fall burning
Raining blood of the hunted
The bodies fall burning
Raining blood,
I fear it's my last hour
I see the fire fills the air
I see the terror in our eyes
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
An end to this war
Never fall down to submission
Stand fast moving on
We will never fall down to submission
I see the terror in our eyes
I know all we left behind
So much can never be replaced
So much hate is in our eyes
I see we can't hold up to them
I see them now closing in
We have no chance
No chance to survive
I see the fire in the air
Never see and end to this war
We will never fall down to submission
Never falling down to submission
Never falling down to submission
Bombing fills the air
Outnumbered burning soldiers
Soaked in fire
Their cries for help go unnoticed
The rebelling soldiers
Run to save their lives
They will never make it
Before they are burned alive
My voice trembles in fear
Before I know it
It's too late
I see the pyromanic pilot
Aiming from the sky
Their bodies fall burning
Raining blood of the hunted
No justice in this slaughter
No redemption in this conquer

Consumes my every thought
As I feel it's my last hour
The bodies fall burning
Raining blood of the hunted
The bodies fall burning
Raining blood,
I fear it's my last hour
I see the fire fills the air
I see the terror in our eyes
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour
I fear it's my last hour

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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
Radiohead

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
