@[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.
Breathing, I'm Breathing
All The COLOURS Of My Mood
Breathing, I'm Breathing
YELLOW As The LIES
Breathing, I'm Breathing
GREEN As SHE Once Could
The End Of The Sun
COLOURS All Around
To The RAINBOW I Run
Breathing,
I'm Only Breathing PURPLE Now
The End Of Myself
COLOURS All Around
To The End I Run
Only Now I Know
When I See The Landscape
Convered In SNOW
That The ROYAL Thieves
Will Thrimble Me Down
From The OVERFLOW
Of Will For Letting
Lettering Me In
And Crawl Inside Of HER
My COLOURFUL Breath
Prevents Me Now
I'm The PURPLE PRINCE
Of Carelessness
I Ride In My PURPLE Coach
GOLDEN In Its Own
Shape And COLOUR
On The Way
To A COLOURFUL CARNIVAL
I FEEL Like All Is In
BLACK And WHITE
PURPLE Creatures Carry Me
To The Origin Of The Almighty
Who PAINTED The Univers
And All Because Of HER
Breathing, I'm Breathing
All The COLOURS Of My Mood
Breathing, I'm Breathing
YELLOW As The LIES
Breathing, I'm Breathing
GREEN As SHE Once Could
Breathing, I'm Breathing
BLUE As HER Lying EYES
Breathing,
I'm Only Breathing PURPLE Now
Breathing,
I'm Breathing PURPLE As THINE
If we could let colours decide our
destiny, the world would be a
better place"

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
