This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I was dry as a desert plain
She came down like a summer rain
Then came a hurricane
It was too intoxicating
Feeling the pressure pushing down on me
Fighting the gravity
And now I, I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high, don't want a low
Just wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
I'm just a shadow of myself
A plain old reflection of who I used to be
It's staring back at me
Like a sun and a moon in the same sky
I stood in a crowd and I feel like I'm all alone
From color to monochrome
And now I, I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high, don't want a low
Just wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
don't want maybe or someday, baby
I don't want maybe, I need to know right now
And now I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
She came down like a summer rain
Then came a hurricane
It was too intoxicating
Feeling the pressure pushing down on me
Fighting the gravity
And now I, I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high, don't want a low
Just wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
I'm just a shadow of myself
A plain old reflection of who I used to be
It's staring back at me
Like a sun and a moon in the same sky
I stood in a crowd and I feel like I'm all alone
From color to monochrome
And now I, I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high, don't want a low
Just wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
don't want maybe or someday, baby
I don't want maybe, I need to know right now
And now I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want two extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
