@[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.
Don't want to hang around anyone today
I'm sick of playing the same old games
'Cause I know I can't win them anyway
And I will dream a different lie
Stuck in between her thighs and wonder just when I will meet her
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy
And every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And i will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
I've been in love since the day I saw fast times
It's on a permanent rewind and can you guess my favorite part
I used to like tossing off to her pool scene
Now I'm kissing TV screens
She's the only star who's touched my heart on
All i really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And i will be the only one for her
And I'm looking for a fast time
Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
Looking for a fast time
Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And I will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
I'm sick of playing the same old games
'Cause I know I can't win them anyway
And I will dream a different lie
Stuck in between her thighs and wonder just when I will meet her
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy
And every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And i will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
I've been in love since the day I saw fast times

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
He's talking about the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, i believe. An awesome awesome movie and if you watch the pool scene in it which he says is his favorite part, you'll know why. hah, an awesome movie and song.
