@[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.
Ya no callaremos más
Gritemos para no olvidar
Gritemos para no olvidar
No callaremos más
Hijos de un mismo final
Trampa de fuego y dolor
Indefensos al mirar
Como el hombre es tan feroz
Formados para morir
La esclavitud fue la ley
Aniquilando su paz
Comieron odio sin ver
Sus cuerpos llenos de horror
Arrasados sin piedad
Fueron víctimas del mal
Castigados porque sí
Dueños del suelo y el mar
Despojados de su fe
Fueron la luna y el sol
Escudos sobre su piel
No dejemos más que el tiempo
Borre de nuestras mentes
La injusta matanza de una raza que luchó
Por sobrevivir
Nada podrá callar
El clamor el dolor
La verdad de una cultura viva
Sepultar, ignorar
Destruir, su herencia quedará siempre aquí
Ya no callaremos más
Gritemos para no olvidar
Sagrado espíritu fiel
Que no dejó de pelear
Por los derechos que aún
No pueden recuperar
Es la nobleza su voz
Que explota como un volcán
Y quema con su calor
La codicia y la maldad
Hijos de un mismo final
Trampa de fuego y dolor
Indefensos al mirar
Como el hombre es tan feroz
Dueños del suelo y el mar
Despojados de su fe
Fueron la luna y el sol
Escudos sobre su piel
No dejemos más que el tiempo
Borre de nuestras mentes
La injusta matanza de una raza que luchó
Por sobrevivir
Nada podrá callar
El clamor el dolor
La verdad de una cultura viva
Sepultar, ignorar
Destruir, su herencia quedará
El clamor, el dolor
La verdad de una cultura viva
Sepultar, ignorar
Destruir su herencia quedará siempre aquí
Gritemos para no olvidar
Gritemos para no olvidar
No callaremos más
Hijos de un mismo final
Trampa de fuego y dolor
Indefensos al mirar
Como el hombre es tan feroz
Formados para morir
La esclavitud fue la ley
Aniquilando su paz
Comieron odio sin ver
Sus cuerpos llenos de horror
Arrasados sin piedad
Fueron víctimas del mal
Castigados porque sí
Dueños del suelo y el mar
Despojados de su fe
Fueron la luna y el sol
Escudos sobre su piel
No dejemos más que el tiempo
Borre de nuestras mentes
La injusta matanza de una raza que luchó
Por sobrevivir
Nada podrá callar
El clamor el dolor
La verdad de una cultura viva
Sepultar, ignorar
Destruir, su herencia quedará siempre aquí
Ya no callaremos más
Gritemos para no olvidar
Sagrado espíritu fiel
Que no dejó de pelear

Es la nobleza su voz
Que explota como un volcán
Y quema con su calor
La codicia y la maldad

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
