@[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.
well maybe i'm off
yeah, i'm strangely askew
maybe i ran away
just when you started to get a good view
and maybe who i am turned out to be
nothing like the me that you wanted me to be
so another one's gone
yeah another love is lost
and i'm bitter and rusted
and i want off with my heart
i'm convinced i'm over, i'm convinced that i am through
and i'm certain the one thing is that i'll never love anyone again
not the way that i loved you
yeah cos i'm blank, i'm still, and i'm numb from the pain
and i'm fine with the weather and with us being not together
and i'm tired of faking
cos i've been faking it for years
and i'm sick of writing this song about how love always disappears
i know that you tried
and i know that it's just gonna take some time
yeah, for me to stop hearing my voice telling you goodbye
cause i was taught that love grows
so why does it always seem to fade on me?
and i'll admit that i was wrong
i was wrong to lead you on that way
and i told you that pain is temporary
i told you that our love exists
right now, you wanna know what the saddest part of the whole thing is?
is that right now, baby, i don't even give a shit
yeah cos i'm blank, i'm still, and i'm numb from the pain
and i'm fine with the weather and with us being not together
and i'm tired of faking
cos i've been faking it for years
and i'm sick of writing this song about how love always disappears
i know that you tried
and i know that it's just gonna take some time
yeah, for me to stop hearing my voice saying goodbye
so i dropped you at the curb
you leaned over and gave me a so long
i pull out and turn the radio on
i take a long deep drag to our break up song
yeah, i'm strangely askew
maybe i ran away
just when you started to get a good view
and maybe who i am turned out to be
nothing like the me that you wanted me to be
so another one's gone
yeah another love is lost
and i'm bitter and rusted
and i want off with my heart
i'm convinced i'm over, i'm convinced that i am through
and i'm certain the one thing is that i'll never love anyone again
not the way that i loved you
yeah cos i'm blank, i'm still, and i'm numb from the pain
and i'm fine with the weather and with us being not together
and i'm tired of faking
cos i've been faking it for years
and i'm sick of writing this song about how love always disappears
i know that you tried
and i know that it's just gonna take some time
yeah, for me to stop hearing my voice telling you goodbye

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is the perfest way to sum up my past...
this song describes me. "and i'm fine with the weather and with us being not together and i'm tired of faking" cause i am fine with having my heart broken. its gonna happen a million times in my life..so mine as well just get up so it can happen again..and not try to act like you still matter...cause i know while your kissing her...youre not thinking of me. "and i'm certain the one thing is that i'll never love anyone again not the way that i loved you" cause i know better than to put myself out there like i did for you.
