@[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.
In the track, in the track
Comin' in a wild stylee
you’re lookin kinda fly but your status is free
and all the fellas smile flirtatiously
but figure, you’re looking for the guy like me
Well the whole world wants to get to know you more
like how you make love and how you like to explore
Well you just want to live adventurously
ah, you’re looking for the guy like me
Yeah, your looks and glances, effect like arsenic
and the way you drive makes most guys car sick
man, I could play corners for eternity
you’re looking for the guy like me
Now, one more thing that I think you should know
I dig you, I ain't chasin' though
You say you can't commit you want polygamy?
Well you’re looking for the guy like me
yeah, well let me have a look at you, you're the band
and I'm booking you, I'm the venue, and you’re the menu
and I'm the customer, how can I order you?
Ah, you mean I don't want to corner you stop and configure
this train is home bound I believe you're a passenger
you’re not from round here? What, you come from Canberra?
Intoxicated by her strong scent of lavender
I'm like "would there be any chance that I can dance with you?"
We're comin' in a wild stylee, it's a figure
You’re looking for the guy like me
I walked through the door and it was you I saw
now every door I go through it's you I'm looking for
Eyes peeled to steel another glance of your
fine firm figure form that made me drop my jaw
and what's more you got a sweet smile when you talk
and when you look away it's like your deep in thought
and I ain't that tall so I'm happy your short
now I've just gotta gather up the courage to talk
And its a figure I'm feeling giddy getting sicker
Well how should I approach the cutest kitten in the litter?
Should I drink more liquor and step like Godzilla
flow like a river or let the vibes simmer
or should I approach in a wild stylee
and just be myself and keep my style free
and maybe, while I've been looking for she
coincidently she's been lookin' for the guy like me
We're comin' in a wild stylee, it's a figure
You’re looking for the guy like me
Nice
I love the way you do your own thing
a sense of humour like a bee sting
Lets eat chocolate and watch videos all weekend
stay up late and then sleep in
The way you talk you got good flow
you got style by the truck load
If you were a program I'd love to file share and download
Let's play like big cats and antelope
I love the way you take your own time
You keep me hanging like a clothes line
Artistically inclined, Oh
You got a body and a beautiful mind
and if I'm like Adam, I think you’re Eve
you make a brother like me believe
I'd eat the apple and the whole damn tree
girl, You’re looking for a guy like me
Woo ooh woo ooh
Comin' in a wild stylee, it's a figure
You’re looking for the guy like me
We're comin' in a wild stylee, it's a figure
You’re looking for the guy like me
We're comin' in a wild stylee, it's a figure

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
