@[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.
Press rewind
Play it back in this dark room
It's been so long
I don't remember who we used to be
Go slow
Is it safe to come out again?
In skin like stone
Now I can't believe anyone anymore
I wasted it on you
They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away
On our own
We see the world now for what it's worth
Undo what's done
Before this heart destroys it's host
They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away
Reach into her guts
Take back what's tangled up
I wasted it on you
Reach into her guts
We're just rehearsing who we think we are
Play it back in this dark room
It's been so long
I don't remember who we used to be
Go slow
Is it safe to come out again?
In skin like stone
Now I can't believe anyone anymore
I wasted it on you
They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away
On our own
We see the world now for what it's worth
Undo what's done
Before this heart destroys it's host
They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away
Reach into her guts
Take back what's tangled up
I wasted it on you
Reach into her guts
We're just rehearsing who we think we are

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,

Or maybe it's about civilization and the world as a whole. Which would probably make more sense. People our looking back and seeing how much the world has changed, and how civilization has changed. we're destroying the world, but the world is a beautiful place, and we need to learn our lession. We've waisted our time on this earth being destructive rather than productive. We're headed in the wrong direction. But while everyones headed for disaster, some are enlightened and above all the chaos. Anyway these are just a few of my interpretations on this song. It's such an amazing song
Definitely agree this is a song about the world and having experiences whether it be relationships "Reach into her guts, Take back what's tangled up, I wasted it on you" or other minor problems "Now I can't believe anyone anymore" no matter what you go through you will be scared "Is it safe to come out again?", you just have to make it out and push forward and try to find yourself within all of it "We're just rehearsing who we think we are".
I think this song is about a relationship between a guy and girl. They're looking back and realized how much they've changed. They were once happy, but now their relationship is in trouble. The guy still loves her but she's not feeling the same way, or maybe she never did. He realizes how much she truley means to him. So he tries to make her happy. " reach into her guts, take back what's tangled up" she's falling out of love and he's going to fix things. He's going to win her heart back.
I think this song is about a man who is in a relationship with a woman, and gets her pregnant, but he or neither of them wants or is ready for that to happen. Or the baby is killing the mother. (Before this heart destroys it's host) The last part of the song, I think, supports my interpretation of a man who did not want to have a child with the woman he had relations with, and is going for an abortion of the baby. (Reach into her guts, Take back what's tangled up, I wasted it on you) Really a powerful song.
