@[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'm trying to be someone else
Save one for the ending and
Push one o'er the ledge then step back
Someone who won't just forget shit like that
I'm trying to be someone else
Stave off all the moods and
Forget it 'cause the next one's close range
Someone who offers intentionless doubt
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around
Without small leads, you're about as good as done
You're never around
I'm trying to be someone else
Save one for the ending and
Push one o'er the ledge then step back
Trying to keep all the baggage intact
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around
Without small leads, you're about as good as done
You're never around
I do nothing to provoke you and
I just hope that you still notice me
We're no longer than a ten-year-old
I just know that you'll still notice me
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around
Save one for the ending and
Push one o'er the ledge then step back
Someone who won't just forget shit like that
I'm trying to be someone else
Stave off all the moods and
Forget it 'cause the next one's close range
Someone who offers intentionless doubt
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around
Without small leads, you're about as good as done
You're never around
I'm trying to be someone else
Save one for the ending and
Push one o'er the ledge then step back
Trying to keep all the baggage intact
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around
Without small leads, you're about as good as done
You're never around
I do nothing to provoke you and
I just hope that you still notice me
We're no longer than a ten-year-old
I just know that you'll still notice me
If words bred friends then you're the one who could
You're never around

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
