@[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.
How many times will the clock go around?
How many times can my hands hit the ground?
How many coffins before there's a crown?
How far will I fall 'til the alarm sounds?
How come you love me when I am ugly?
Guess I can only hope
Give me a second go
Don't let me go alone (don't let me go alone)
You saw me at the worst
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know
Give me a second go
No matter the weather, there's never a break (never a break)
Conquer a ladder then slip on a snake
Cried 'til my river turned into a lake (turned into a lake)
And I'm wondering now before it's too late
How can you save me when I am angry?
Reasons I'll never know
Give me a second go
Don't let me go alone (don't let me go alone)
You saw me at the worst
You caught me falling first (falling first)
All I wanted to know
Give me a second go
One to five, I'm half alive
Six to nine, I'm out of line
Ten to twelve, I'm not myself
By the millionth time, I cry
Give me a second go
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know (all I wanted to know)
Give me a second go (give me a second go)
Don't let me go alone (don't let me go alone)
You saw me at the worst
You caught me falling first (falling first)
All I wanted to know (all I wanted to know)
Give me a second go (give me a second go)
Give me a second go
Give me a second go (give me a second go)
Again
Give me a second go
Don't let me go alone

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.

Has a different meaning to me... I guess 'cause I can relate to this exactly.
I think the relationship has broken down on her part, i.e. she's split up with the and now all she wants is a second go with him. But, he's not having it.
He's seen her at all her lowest points and helped her pick herself up but this time, he's just not wanting to get back with her again.
I love it, it's brilliant. I wana sing this song to him... Haha. I really need to get over this guy fs. But yeah, song's amazing!
