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”
At the end of the day i do just what i want
At the end of the day i play just when i want
At the end of the day i do just what i want
At the end of the day i play just when i want
Go
Who the fuck are you to say
What I can or cannot do?
You talk shit about me constantly
With your weakless metal crew.
Spreading lies about me, cry about me
Like it's your god given task
If you spent more time thinking about me
I'd have your head right up my ass
But at the end of the day I do just what I want
At the end of the day I play just when I want
You still need your mom to pay the rent
You call me a fake
You're giving me some punk rock test
You say how you could do so much better than me
But all you do is meth.
And at the end of the day I do just what I want
At the end of the day I play just when I want
You still need your mom to pay the rent
Try do define what my music should be
Like you're an authority
I have my own teachers and I don't need your help
No matter what you say, no matter what I play
If I want to play guitar
That's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't give a fuck if it's not OK
It's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
Really, it's just music, after all
At the end of the day i play just when i want
At the end of the day i do just what i want
At the end of the day i play just when i want
Go
Who the fuck are you to say
What I can or cannot do?
You talk shit about me constantly
With your weakless metal crew.
Spreading lies about me, cry about me
Like it's your god given task
If you spent more time thinking about me
I'd have your head right up my ass
But at the end of the day I do just what I want
At the end of the day I play just when I want
You still need your mom to pay the rent
You call me a fake
You're giving me some punk rock test
You say how you could do so much better than me
But all you do is meth.
And at the end of the day I do just what I want
At the end of the day I play just when I want
You still need your mom to pay the rent
Try do define what my music should be
Like you're an authority
I have my own teachers and I don't need your help
No matter what you say, no matter what I play
If I want to play guitar
That's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
I don't give a fuck if it's not OK
It's alright with me
I don't care if it's not alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me
Really, it's just music, after all

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

yeah but i love how he ends on a more down to earth note "really its just music after all" but agressive lines like "i have my own teachers i dont need your help"
good acoustic thing too
