@[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 said my goodbyes to the sun
My little one, so far away.
And how strange, how small we must become
Yet as familiar as yesterday
The bluest iris that I'd ever seen
She vanished like a dream, sinking back
Into the ground
Singing "maybe I wept real tears"
But maybe she was hiding because she wanted to be found
You wanted to be found!
Don't be afraid of him.
Be still.
My little one, so far away.
And how strange, how small we must become
Yet as familiar as yesterday
The bluest iris that I'd ever seen
She vanished like a dream, sinking back
Into the ground
Singing "maybe I wept real tears"
But maybe she was hiding because she wanted to be found
You wanted to be found!
Don't be afraid of him.
Be still.

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,

This song freakin rules
Word to mewithoutYou! It's so awesome to see a powerful Christian fire burning in indie music.
this is a great song, mewithoutyou is soooooo awesome. They are so original as well.
you skipped a line. it's, "singing, 'maybe i'm ashamed and maybe i wept real tears'".
but besides that, much love to mewithoutyou.
Dont be afraid of him......Christ. great song, great band, must see live!
"My little one" (see "My little girl") and "The bluest iris that I'd ever seen" (see "You're nice and blue") tie in with lines of "Nice and Blue".
