@[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.
1. I lost my head, it was not easy,
Unknown, unread, it wasn't easy,
And each day, each night,
Wasn't wrong, nor right,
I can't remember what I said
I lost my head.
2. What will I feel maybe tomorrow,
But time not real, hours I can borrow,
So until for now, as long as how,
I can't remember what I said
I lost my head.
(Part 2)
1. I lost my head, forget what I said,
What's the use to try to deny it,
I didn't think it would ever happen again,
Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy,
Never thought again would I try it,
And even though maybe soon
It would end, wanting to stop,
But had to go on,
Give a little part of my person,
And don't reflect,
Don't remember what I said,
I was afraid and I stayed away
Making sure of my independence,
Isn't it true
That I lost my head.
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything,
Showed my face, just forgetting myself,
I lost my head.
2. Everything's true, but everything lies,
It's so hard to try to explain it,
It doesn't matter it happened anyway,
And for the time while someone is mine,
I'll go on won't try to contain it,
Though never sure it could finish anyday,
I lost my head,
So glad that I made
Right or wrong, I made the decision
To take my chances,
Give out something of me,
How will I feel tomorrow?
Not real trying to avoid a collision,
I lost my head,
But today I can see.
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything,
Showed my face, just forgetting myself,
I lost my head.
Unknown, unread, it wasn't easy,
And each day, each night,
Wasn't wrong, nor right,
I can't remember what I said

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
