@[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.
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of watching all the sound of your tears
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years is going by
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
If you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'd only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
Living like a powder keg we're giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of watching all the sound of your tears
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years is going by
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
If you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'd only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
Living like a powder keg we're giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
