@[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.
Have you heard our story?
A mystery it seems
Gather round, come listen
See the spectacle within
Take your seats and in a moment
The curtain will rise
Presenting the show of our lives
The curtains draw slowly
The fanfare sounds true
The audience starts cheering
The spotlight's on you
As the scene grows before you
The mirror is set
A performance we will not forget
For this is the show of our lives
The stage is still and silent
No cries, no cheers, no one
And yet we feel the glory
The show still goes on
So ring the bells and sing
Shout with all your hearts set
A performance we will not forget
For this is the show of our lives
Ring the bells and sing
Gather round and sing
Ring the bells and sing
Gather round and sing...
A mystery it seems
Gather round, come listen
See the spectacle within
Take your seats and in a moment
The curtain will rise
Presenting the show of our lives
The curtains draw slowly
The fanfare sounds true
The audience starts cheering
The spotlight's on you
As the scene grows before you
The mirror is set
A performance we will not forget
For this is the show of our lives
The stage is still and silent
No cries, no cheers, no one
And yet we feel the glory
The show still goes on
So ring the bells and sing
Shout with all your hearts set
A performance we will not forget
For this is the show of our lives
Ring the bells and sing
Gather round and sing
Ring the bells and sing
Gather round and sing...
