@[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.
Sometimes I miss that feelin' of fallin'
Fallin' on over the ledge
You know I miss that feelin' of fallin'
Fallin' on over the ledge
And when my mind it gets to worryin'
And I just can't get no rest, oh baby oh
That's when I call you up instead
After midnight baby
Sittin' here all alone
I tried to call your number baby
But you weren't at home
I've been a good girl baby
I'm through with all that mess
But the way I'm feeling right now, darlin'
You know it scares me half to death
That I miss that feelin' of
Fallin' on over the ledge
The summer night in Texas, baby
It's too hot and wet to sleep
I heard you pull up in the distance
You're comin' to give me relief
We went screamin' down the highway, baby
So much faster than we should
You pulled me over in the moonlight, darlin'
Man, I still can feel that hood
And I miss that feelin'
Oh, I wanna fall on over the ledge
When that rain start fallin', I wanna call baby
I wanna take a real good look at that ledge
It ain't something you get over
You might think you made it through
You can turn your head and walk away, baby
But it never takes its eyes off of you and
It'll push your foot right through the floor board, baby
Make you cut them streamers down and back
You waste what's precious and you can't afford, baby
It runs your life right off the track
It'll keep you boilin' in that poison
Only the truly twisted know so well
You don't need drugs to show you heaven, baby
'Cause there's plenty clean in hell
I'd miss that feelin' of fallin'
Oh, on over the ledge
Yeah, the blues start callin'
[Incomprehensible]
Break it down
[Incomprehensible] baby
Oh baby I'm gonna crawl
Crawl into your arm now
Into your arm now
Fallin' on over the ledge
You know I miss that feelin' of fallin'
Fallin' on over the ledge
And when my mind it gets to worryin'
And I just can't get no rest, oh baby oh
That's when I call you up instead
After midnight baby
Sittin' here all alone
I tried to call your number baby
But you weren't at home
I've been a good girl baby
I'm through with all that mess
But the way I'm feeling right now, darlin'
You know it scares me half to death
That I miss that feelin' of
Fallin' on over the ledge
The summer night in Texas, baby
It's too hot and wet to sleep
I heard you pull up in the distance
You're comin' to give me relief
We went screamin' down the highway, baby
So much faster than we should
You pulled me over in the moonlight, darlin'
Man, I still can feel that hood
And I miss that feelin'
Oh, I wanna fall on over the ledge
When that rain start fallin', I wanna call baby
I wanna take a real good look at that ledge
It ain't something you get over
You might think you made it through
You can turn your head and walk away, baby
But it never takes its eyes off of you and

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
