@[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.
Listen to me, im talking to you.
Be your own friend,
be your own friend, and fight, fight, fight for yourself.
No one has your back, youre helpless
who is willing to stand up for what they believe in?
Nobody
They fold and crumble under fear, and anything else that challenges them.
Rise, and change my friend.
This isnt what it seems,
reality already passed me by.
I'm living in nothing but dreams,
and failing at reaching the sky.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.
Stand up, stand your solid ground, you're not alone.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.
Fight hard for all you have,
believe me its worth the effort.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.
Open up this heart I'm living for, inside of this life I'm fighting for.
Guard your heart and everything close to it.
Rise up and change my friend.
Fix the henderence, bear witness to your doom.
I know you're standing over there, waiting for me to make the move.
I want you out of my life.
Be your own friend,
be your own friend, and fight, fight, fight for yourself.
No one has your back, youre helpless
who is willing to stand up for what they believe in?
Nobody
They fold and crumble under fear, and anything else that challenges them.
Rise, and change my friend.
This isnt what it seems,
reality already passed me by.
I'm living in nothing but dreams,
and failing at reaching the sky.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.
Stand up, stand your solid ground, you're not alone.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.
Fight hard for all you have,
believe me its worth the effort.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.
Open up this heart I'm living for, inside of this life I'm fighting for.
Guard your heart and everything close to it.
Rise up and change my friend.
Fix the henderence, bear witness to your doom.
I know you're standing over there, waiting for me to make the move.
I want you out of my life.

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,
