The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fuera sopla el viento, fuera está lloviendo
Un aullido aterrador
Y yo te observo mientras duermes, respirando dulcemente
En la calma de esta habitación
Todo lo que siento llueve desde dentro
Aguacero de electricidad
Y al besarte en la majilla, yo creí que me moría
Se rompía este pobre corazón
Quiero besarte
Tengo miedo a despertarte
Entro en tu sueño, y te grito desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
El fin del mundo, la tormenta, el dolor
Quedan muy lejos de esta habitación
Fuera sopla el viento, fuera está lloviendo
Un aullido aterrador
Pero un susurro nos envuelve, nos abraza lentamente
Como un mantra conocido por los dos
No son fantasmas
Es mi espíritu el que habla
Entra en tu sueño y te grita desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
El fin del mundo, la tormenta, el dolor
Quedan muy lejos de esta habitación
Quiero besarte
Tengo miedo a despertarte
Entro en tu sueño y te grito desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
Los desengaños y los malos presagios
Las envidias, las intrigas, que complican nuestras vidas
Quedan, quedan muy lejos de esta pompa de jabón
Nuestra burbuja de amor
Sube por el cielo, más allá del universo
Sube y estalla en tu sueño
Un aullido aterrador
Y yo te observo mientras duermes, respirando dulcemente
En la calma de esta habitación
Todo lo que siento llueve desde dentro
Aguacero de electricidad
Y al besarte en la majilla, yo creí que me moría
Se rompía este pobre corazón
Quiero besarte
Tengo miedo a despertarte
Entro en tu sueño, y te grito desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
El fin del mundo, la tormenta, el dolor
Quedan muy lejos de esta habitación
Fuera sopla el viento, fuera está lloviendo
Un aullido aterrador
Pero un susurro nos envuelve, nos abraza lentamente
Como un mantra conocido por los dos
No son fantasmas
Es mi espíritu el que habla
Entra en tu sueño y te grita desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
El fin del mundo, la tormenta, el dolor
Quedan muy lejos de esta habitación
Quiero besarte
Tengo miedo a despertarte
Entro en tu sueño y te grito desde lejos
Que te quiero
En solo un segundo
He comprendido lo que importa y lo que no
Los desengaños y los malos presagios
Las envidias, las intrigas, que complican nuestras vidas
Quedan, quedan muy lejos de esta pompa de jabón
Nuestra burbuja de amor
Sube por el cielo, más allá del universo
Sube y estalla en tu sueño

@[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 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.
