@[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.
Everything makes me nervous and nothing feels good for no reason
Waking up, it's rarely worth it
The same dark dread every morning
Senior year here in Mahwah, a new world just around the corner
Leave me behind, let me stagnate, in a fortress of solitude
Smoking's been okay so far, but I need something that works faster
So all I want for Christmas is no feelings, no feelings now or ever again
There is a faceplate all brown and red that stretches across my mouth
It's worn for protection, nobody gets in and nobody gets out
I used to look myself in the mirror at the end of every day
But I took the one thing that made me beautiful and I threw it away
I was a river, I was a tall tree, I was a volcano
But now I'm asleep on top of a mountain, I've been covered in snow
Yes, I have surrendered what made me human and all that I thought was true
So now there's a robot that lives in my brain and he tells me what to do
And I can do nothing without his permission that wasn't part of the plan
So now in Rock Ridge pharmacy I will be waiting for my man
But there is another down in a dungeon who never gave up the fight
And he'll be forever screaming, sometimes I hear him say, on a quiet night, he says
"You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser, man"
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You'll always be a loser now, and that's okay

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.

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,

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
O God, what to say about this song. Considering their new album came out recently i think it couldn't be a more suitable time to talk about the meaning of this song, considering the relevance. The start of the song talks about how he felt before he started taking anti depressants, which in hindsight has a shocking resemblance to how i feel now. The other half of the song talks about how he felt after or during taking the pills. When he says "i threw the one thing that made me beautiful away" he is talking about his mind. If you listen to the album 'The Monitor' or 'The Airing of Grievances' he talks a lot about these inner problems. He then goes on to say that because of the anti depressants he abandoned everything that he believed in just so his mind would be at peace. He admits that he began to withhold his actions without the help from the pills "I can't do nothing without his permission - now down at Rock Ridge pharmacy i will be waiting for my man" the man basically being his mind after taking the pills, telling him what to do. The end of the song is an expose on how he feels prior to taking anti depressants. He has finally come to the realization that he will always be the person he used to be, but at least now with the help of the pills he can feel better about himself. The whole song he is arguing to himself about which life suits him better. The life without help from pills or the life with. Personally, selfishly, considering how terrible i think his new album is, i believe that in regards to his lyricism and emotionality, he was better off not going on anti depressants. It lead to deeper meanings in his songs and it made him unique. He threw the part away that made him beautiful and different in order to conform to society, or feel normal amongst his peers. I truly wish the best for Pat but i feel in a music standpoint he was better off without the pills. This song is amazing none the less and has literally made me tear up as well as get me through some tough times. TITUS ANDRONICUS FOREVER!
