This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You're moving in a circle
I'm coming on in a little dizzy spells
And the room is all forlorn
We could be stuck in substance hell
Some more of this is what we need
So hand in hand and off we sway
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
Your face is taking pictures of itself
I close my eyes and sighs explode
We sellotape the telephone
And all the little voices grow
Some more of this is what we need
So hand in hand and off we sway
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
It's only the state I'm in and I'm about to come down
It's only the mess within in about to come out
La la la la la,la
It's only the state I'm in, I'm about to come down
It's only the mess within is about to come out
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
No
I'm coming on in a little dizzy spells
And the room is all forlorn
We could be stuck in substance hell
Some more of this is what we need
So hand in hand and off we sway
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
Your face is taking pictures of itself
I close my eyes and sighs explode
We sellotape the telephone
And all the little voices grow
Some more of this is what we need
So hand in hand and off we sway
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
It's only the state I'm in and I'm about to come down
It's only the mess within in about to come out
La la la la la,la
It's only the state I'm in, I'm about to come down
It's only the mess within is about to come out
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you
No

@[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 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,
