Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
fuck off, you generic twats
your conformity's starting to bug me
all you motherfuckers look just the same
i'll equalize any who oppose me
here we go, i'm back in time, it's like i'm in high school
your neon dress don't impress anyone, you damn fool
i know you wanna stand out, that's easy to see
but it's hard to when you don't have a personality
it's ninety degrees out, ditch that circle scarf
and your stunnas are so gaudy, i think i might just BARF!
nylon and lookbook might say you look cool
but look in a fuckin' mirror, can't you see you're a tool?
your brain's surely melted from all the blow
bought with your parent's money, you roll in their dough
x2
so go ahead and listen to your favorite pitchfork band
with overmixed reverb, the lyrics you can't understand
you dress up for their shows gaudier than a drag queen
AND DON'T MOVE. it's a hardcore show; fuck fashion, fuck bein' clean!
act interested in something for once! your friends won't judge you!
oh wait, they're hipsters; yeah they will, never mind.
behind your million layered threads
lies an emotive human soul, desperate to be fed
so just drop the act, cut out the smack
'cause right now, you're about as enjoyable as a spoonful of ipecac.
x2
drop that ungodly facade.

@[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.

This one is deffinatly about the hardcore scene & how they all just dress like girls. Not really wanting to dance to the music they have gone to see. Acting just like everyone else at those venues..
