This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, I see ya standing there like a rabid dog
And you got those crying eyes
Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms
You know I try to live without regrets
I'm always moving forward and not looking back
But I tend to leave a trail of dead, while I'm moving ahead
So I'm stepping away
'Cause I got nothing to say
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
And when my fear pulls me out to sea
And the stars are hidden by my pride and my enemies
I seem to hurt the people that I care the most
Just like an animal I protect my pride
When I'm too bruised to fight
And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right
Well I'm bored of the game
And too tired to rage
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
And you got those crying eyes
Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms
You know I try to live without regrets
I'm always moving forward and not looking back
But I tend to leave a trail of dead, while I'm moving ahead
So I'm stepping away
'Cause I got nothing to say
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
And when my fear pulls me out to sea
And the stars are hidden by my pride and my enemies
I seem to hurt the people that I care the most
Just like an animal I protect my pride
When I'm too bruised to fight
And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right
Well I'm bored of the game
And too tired to rage
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like
Like a coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like a coming of age

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”
Holiday

@[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 has kind of a laid back, mellow tone, almost to the point of making the protagonist sound a little tired (not in a bad way). I think a lot of young adults in their late 20s or early to mid 30s can feel this way. You feel your energy level winding down after years of new beginnings, just starting out, and maybe a little too much partying ("Well I'm Bored of the Game, and I'm too tired to rage"). You're not new at being an adult anymore. Maybe you have a "been there, done that" mentality, but you also realize that you still have a lot to learn ("And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right").
For whatever reason, these days, it seems like people prolong their youth as much as possible. This is a song about finally acknowledging impending (or already realized) adulthood, but maybe not knowing what exactly to do about it. Whether it's trying not to fall into the same relationship traps again ("Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms") or facing the fact that maybe you aren't always the hero in your relationships ("I seem to hurt the people that care the most"), you're "coming of age" and finding that you don't always know how to take the next step.
Diana, I think you have the best interpretation. Not ever song is about a relationship (at least not a romantic one). I think what Mark Foster is trying to say that when you start growing up you realize that you actions are not always reflective of your best intentions as so well put in the lines...<br /> I'm always moving forward and not looking back<br /> But I tend to leave a trail of dead, while I'm moving ahead<br /> So I'm stepping away<br /> 'Cause I got nothing to say<br /> <br /> This song is catchy and the lyrics make me think back to days when I was younger (early 30's) but realized mortality is a real thing. The lines about being a ship lost at sea where the stars are hidden by fears make me relate to my relationship with parents, my children and my ex. I know I want to the best person for them but sometimes pride, selfishness and my enemies (enemies being the person we wish we weren't) sometimes just get in the way. In short, I think Mark is just trying to say, that even as hard as we try to grow up we all have shortcomings that get in our way.
