@[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.
Slit throat sirens fill the air
With soundless shrieking songs
Of when you will be long forgotten
Can you see the grins of departed
That you had once betrayed
With your lie-filled eyes
Monolithic visions of every still moment that you've kept inside
The hallows of your shadow will haunt you until it completely devours you whole
Unworthy of this life that you've tainted in holding
The greatest sins in the highest
Shall go unforgiven
These failures once cast out
Have taken the form of a monster that wills
A foul release of hate
Abominations that you have created shall purge you of your innocence and
Faith as you are engulfed by the hands and strangled by the legions of damned
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Now cling to the chains that you've built
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Revealing truth in your lies
Holding you down by the weights of your falseness,
For all to see as they
Rip the bowels out from your mouth
Silencing your deception
Tear the flesh off of your bones
To drain your strength and
Feast on everything you are
The bringers of your end are here
And they are calling and they are waiting for you
For vengeance of your treachery
They live to burn you alive burn you alive
Traitor
You fucking traitor
There shall be justice when you burn alive
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Now cling to the chains that you've built
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened up
With soundless shrieking songs
Of when you will be long forgotten
Can you see the grins of departed
That you had once betrayed
With your lie-filled eyes
Monolithic visions of every still moment that you've kept inside
The hallows of your shadow will haunt you until it completely devours you whole
Unworthy of this life that you've tainted in holding
The greatest sins in the highest
Shall go unforgiven
These failures once cast out
Have taken the form of a monster that wills
A foul release of hate
Abominations that you have created shall purge you of your innocence and
Faith as you are engulfed by the hands and strangled by the legions of damned
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Now cling to the chains that you've built
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Revealing truth in your lies
Holding you down by the weights of your falseness,
For all to see as they
Rip the bowels out from your mouth
Silencing your deception
Tear the flesh off of your bones
To drain your strength and
Feast on everything you are
The bringers of your end are here
And they are calling and they are waiting for you
For vengeance of your treachery
They live to burn you alive burn you alive
Traitor
You fucking traitor
There shall be justice when you burn alive
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened
Now cling to the chains that you've built
Forsaken skies begin to burn
And the path of the damned shall be opened up

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.
Blue

“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.
Seems to be about the guys in charge of the world. Eventually, what they have been doing will catch up to them and they will get their just desserts.
