The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Please, Excuse me while I dream of you
With your thought in my mind I feel Alive
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful--
Pick me up, Throw me down, you've got
my head feeling dizzy
I wonder what is next?
If only my heart spoke out loud
I'd play it over and over for you
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful---
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
The seasons change just like I, like I would for you
Open up my heart you've landed with me so close to
Everything that I, That I have always needed
tonight I'll dream of you
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful---
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
the seasons change just like I, like I would for you
like I would for you...
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
the seasons change just like I, like I would for you
With your thought in my mind I feel Alive
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful--
Pick me up, Throw me down, you've got
my head feeling dizzy
I wonder what is next?
If only my heart spoke out loud
I'd play it over and over for you
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful---
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
The seasons change just like I, like I would for you
Open up my heart you've landed with me so close to
Everything that I, That I have always needed
tonight I'll dream of you
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
So Alive, I'm Feeling Fine, Your Eyes Stand Out In My Mind.
---So Beautiful---
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
the seasons change just like I, like I would for you
like I would for you...
The stars they fall around me when I think of you
the seasons change just like I, like I would for you

@[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.

This song is so awesome. It is amazing in all ways. Just like you stag, I just freaked when I frist heard it. Aztek Trip is awesome! Even though I haven't seen them live and I'm not even from the East Coast, a netbuddy from out there saw them and told me about them. I hope to see more of these guys.
