@[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.
Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never felt at ease with anyone but you
Don't ever wonder where I go
Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow
When everything around turns blue
Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
And now I've lost your touch again
I know I'm only one in 20,000 men
I promise not to let you go
Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow
When I finally wash ashore
I'm coming back to kiss the girl I kissed before
Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never fell for anyone but you
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out everyday
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway
(And driving home from your house at night I blink and make a hard right
The tape you gave me flies across the dash and slaps me in the face)
I never felt at ease with anyone but you
Don't ever wonder where I go
Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow
When everything around turns blue
Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
And now I've lost your touch again
I know I'm only one in 20,000 men
I promise not to let you go
Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow
When I finally wash ashore
I'm coming back to kiss the girl I kissed before
Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never fell for anyone but you
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out everyday
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway
(And driving home from your house at night I blink and make a hard right
The tape you gave me flies across the dash and slaps me in the face)

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.
