@[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.
Ah, carry on, carry on, yeah
I said uhu, so you found another bed you'd rather sleep in tonight, yeah
I said uhu, so I gotta loose for what you think it's a win tonight, yo, hm
Said uhu, some night is the night that you wanna say your fault, yeah
I said uhu, soundtrack of the sin be the sound of my ringtone
As I call you all night long
Well go and carry on,
Go and carry on, ohh wow
I said do you, 'cause I'm through
Hold on, I won't so carry on, ey
Uhu, so you found another reason to go do what you do, yeah, yeah,
I said uhu, well I ran out of reasons to sit here waiting on you, ooh wow
I said uhu, you showed me now exactly what you want,
What you want, hey, uhu
Now learn that you're exactly what I don't
Too much fun, too long
So go and carry on, hey, so go and carry on, aha
I said do you, 'cause I'm through
Hold on, I won't so carry on, hey
So carry on
You don't want it, and I don't need it
Better use for my time, so carry on
'Cause you don't want it, said I don't deserve it
I'm moving along with mine, ay, uhu, uhu
Aha, uhu, aha, uhu, aha, uhu ohh
So carry on, hey, carry on, hey
I said do you, 'cause I'm through
Hold on, I won't so carry on, hey
Oho, whoa, carry on.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
