@[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.
Ma sans souci, mon contrefort
Mon pas de danse, ma petite mort
Caribéenne et rouge au nord
Sur un seul doigt, par dessus bord
Et moi, triste et fier
Et con
Ma fille et moi, trompe-la-mort
Ma fille et moi, superstars
Ma fille et moi ne dormant pas encore
Moi et ma fille, ma fille et moi, sans toi ni moi
Et elle, libre et fière
Pour ne pas mourir encore
Ne pas faire
Croupir le sort
Cours au feu
Et rappelle les dogues
Et les rires au bord du gouffre
Que je creuse
Et sous
Le creux des ongles
Ou entre dents et langue
Sous le cuir de ses cheveux
Mi-chemin
Entre Vilna et Nouakchott
Autres tropiques für hier ou après-demain
Mon pas de danse, ma petite mort
Caribéenne et rouge au nord
Sur un seul doigt, par dessus bord
Et moi, triste et fier
Et con
Ma fille et moi, trompe-la-mort
Ma fille et moi, superstars
Ma fille et moi ne dormant pas encore
Moi et ma fille, ma fille et moi, sans toi ni moi
Et elle, libre et fière
Pour ne pas mourir encore
Ne pas faire
Croupir le sort
Cours au feu
Et rappelle les dogues
Et les rires au bord du gouffre
Que je creuse
Et sous
Le creux des ongles
Ou entre dents et langue
Sous le cuir de ses cheveux
Mi-chemin
Entre Vilna et Nouakchott
Autres tropiques für hier ou après-demain
