@[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.
stumble in a circuitry of labyrinths
as doorless corridors slam back at you
me move to the rythm of incertitude
engage with numbness, dance that dance
could have taken gallons of gooey fluids
and a fair amount of time
but the circle closes and the bones do break
watch your footsteps, you might collide
you've swallowed them whole,
the myths and the miracles
sit back and relax, hold still, stay calm,
breath through your nose as they slide up your throat
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
as doorless corridors slam back at you
me move to the rythm of incertitude
engage with numbness, dance that dance
could have taken gallons of gooey fluids
and a fair amount of time
but the circle closes and the bones do break
watch your footsteps, you might collide
you've swallowed them whole,
the myths and the miracles
sit back and relax, hold still, stay calm,
breath through your nose as they slide up your throat
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
there's a vacancy in that cavity
you spat it out
spat it out
oh
regurgitate; eviscerate
you spat it out
spat it out
oh

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,

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.
