@[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 know that things are getting tougher
When you can’t get top off from the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now...
It’s looking fucking narrow
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
We get told to decide
Just like as if I’m not gonna change my mind
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy
You're running out of time
This time I got it all figured out
All I know is that I don’t know nothing...
And that's fine
When you can’t get top off from the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now...
It’s looking fucking narrow
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
We get told to decide
Just like as if I’m not gonna change my mind
All I know is that I don’t know nothing
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy
You're running out of time
This time I got it all figured out
All I know is that I don’t know nothing...
And that's fine

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
that's bull$HlT dude, I mean Green Day has their short comings for sure, but seriously man, If anyone has incorporated punk philisophy into the mainstream without completely selling their soul and ideals to the 'man', its green day. They don't write what they think people want to hear, they write what they feel and it happens to be the sentiment of a LOT of people in this country and throughout the world.
You should listen closely to the lyrics of Operation Ivy songs and be sure you actually agree with them before you go raving about how good they are. I mean its fine if you don't agree, but the message of Op Ivy and other punk rock greats is one of Unity, Humbleness, DIY, and generally good treatment of other people and the environment. I thought for a long time about those things and decided that they were in harmony with the way I currently live and intend to live my life, so I went out and got a Unity tattoo, as an homage to OpIvy, but more importantly their message.
Those beliefs arent for everyone, I know that. And they certainly are not the sentiments of George W Bush. If you really support him, enough to brag about it while simultaniously bashing punk rock ideals (yes, green day holds true to punk ideals, thats a whole nother conversation), I think you REALLY need to think long and hard if this music is really expressing your beliefs. Now if I had to pick between the moral examples set forth by Op Ivy or President Bush, I would certainly chose Op Ivy, and I have, but a lot of people choose the other direction and thats fine, until they lose touch with themselves and fall to the level of belittling others for personal gain.
Alls I'm saying is think about it.
first song i heard from them and a great fucking song... as soon as this song was popped in i was fucking hooked on Op Ivy
another great song by Operation Ivy right now! It is so my life right now...finished school...gotta find a job...no clue where I'm going next...just like the song....that's fine
This song is the greatest punk song ever, its so fucking cool, and the lyrics r awsome. Operation Ivy kick ass.
Op IV is the best punk band of all time.......and the best band of all time in my opinion......fuck they are soooooooo good.
I first heard Green Day do a cover of this and then i downloaded some Op Ivy songs and.... "they kick ass!"
One more thing.... SKATEorDIE610.... are you a billboard or what. Could you stop going on every page posting messages on what band we should listen to... not that i hate those bands but its annoying?
i like op ivy there awsome they should have never broken up in my opinion
Yeah this song I can relate to just finished school don't know what to do. 'wide open road of my future now is looking fucking , narrow' amen to that
