Go

I'm still there
I'm still there so you think you're familiar with me, well, I passed long before you looked in these eyes, went on, vanished, left this temple young on a crowded bedside, piercing voices, high screams through a stained yellow wall, long before you spoke words to me I departed on perpetual nightfall

I'm still there, pure trauma
Frame by frame pure trauma
I'm
Still
There

Reach right through me and I know you question my unsteady motion, wanted to lay myself to rest long ago but my life sings on, on, thinking it would blow into a petty dust of gathering nothing but visions flourish through the hallways of my mind, holding, haunting, I'm still there, pure trauma
Frame by frame pure trauma
I'm
Still
There

Pure trauma

I'm still there, pure trauma
Frame by frame pure trauma
I'm still there
I'm still there, pure trauma, I'm still there
I'm still there, pure trauma

Pure trauma

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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,
