@[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 heard a whisper on my radio
But I paid no mind
I just sat back and I let it go
To catch the rain from a lonely waterfall
But I might beware
'Cos they could drown me like a doll
They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along so let me just make it clear
Everybody's gone for a quick sure fire solution
But faith in any god will only bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
I slip my skin as the prophets reappear
But I pay no mind
I'm just trying to persevere
With the sins I have to shake from me within
But I might beware
'Cos they're just trying to wear me thin
They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, but let me just make it clear
Everybody's gone for a quick sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in your ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what we've got it's gonna carry us all
Carry us all
Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in your ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all
But I paid no mind
I just sat back and I let it go
To catch the rain from a lonely waterfall
But I might beware
'Cos they could drown me like a doll
They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along so let me just make it clear
Everybody's gone for a quick sure fire solution
But faith in any god will only bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
I slip my skin as the prophets reappear
But I pay no mind
I'm just trying to persevere
With the sins I have to shake from me within
But I might beware
'Cos they're just trying to wear me thin
They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, but let me just make it clear
Everybody's gone for a quick sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in your ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what we've got it's gonna carry us all
Carry us all
Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in your ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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 amazing... it introduced me to the wonders of Oasis' b-sides and cd-singles
