@[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.
IF I SWING WOULD YOU DUCK? IF I SPIT WOULD YOU SWALLOW? IF I STOOD ON THE LEDGE AND I JUMPED WOULD YOU FOLLOW? IF I LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES AND I SAID YOU'RE A LIAR.IF I CALLED YOU THE WHORE THAT YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE. TELL ME, IS IT BETTER NOW THAT IM NOT AROUND? THAT LOST LOVE YOU FOUND AND HERE COMES MY PAIN......FUCK!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW I ONLY WANTED YOU AND JUST YOU AND FUCK THE BULLSHIT. BECAUSE YOU WERE EVERYTHING I HAD EVER WANTED IN A PERSON.. I NEVER, I NEVER COULD HAVE DONE THAT. JUST BECAUSE I LIED THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ALRIGHT. YOU KNOW I TRIED, TRIED TO SYMPATHIZE. I STARED INTO YOUR EYES AND I KNEW YOU HAD LIED....FUCK!!!!! DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER?I WONDER WHAT FACE YOU WILL SHOW TODAY?YOU'RE WORDS SEEMED SO SINCERE.TELL ME ARE YOU HAPPY??YOU KNOW I STAYED FAITHFULL TO MY WAYS. THE CHOICE YOU MADE ON THE 24TH DAY.KILLED ME!!I DONT KNOW WHY I EVER NEEDED YOU SO FUCK YOU!!! YOU PROMISED BULLSHIT!!! HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SWEAR TO GOD THEN GO BACK ON IT. I NEVER,I NEVER COULD HAVE DONE THAT AND JUST BECAUSE I LIED..WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE SO COMPLACENT?I HOPE YOU TOOK A PIECE OF ME WITH YOU.I WISHED I COULD JUST ERASE IT.FROM MY MEMORY, ID LIVE MY LIFE JUST TO SEE YOU SMILE...... WHEN YOU CRINGED TO MY TOUCH WHEN I SAID I WAS SORRY. DID I ENTER YOUR MIND WHEN YOU LAID DOWN BESIDE HIM? WHEN I SWALLOWED MY PRIDE WERE YOU LAUGHING INSIDE? WHEN I CALLED YOU THE WHORE THAT YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

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
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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
This song is one of their best. Just listening, you can feel the anger and rage in Chris Brown's voice. I love this band.
