@[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.
Hold Her Down
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops kicking
take her arms and hold her down...
until she she stops moving
and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come
and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops screaming
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops breathing
and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come
and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do
I would have died
of all the hell that you've been through
take the night back
all they've stolen
all we took from you
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops kicking
take her arms and hold her down...
until she she stops moving
and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come
and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops screaming
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops breathing
and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come
and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do
I would have died
of all the hell that you've been through
take the night back
all they've stolen
all we took from you

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,

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.

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.
It makes me mad that this song sounds so good.
