@[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.
So it's safe to say that we've been here before;
Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more.
This lesson is learned too well.
Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed.
Have you had enough?
I guess not because your lips are stuck to his.
It's time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off.
You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him.
You can't win.
Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.
Take a look around, you could have anyone.
So leave undeserving him.
It only hurts at first.
But then you will find someone to give you everything you want.
Try not to go running back to him.
So it goes unsaid that we've been here before.
Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor.
And he's sorry, so the story goes.
It's read and replayed and ends the same way.
Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.
Take a look around, you could have anyone.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

My favorite of all their songs. I think in a few years if these guys keep everything together and pump out some more music they could become one of the top bands out there.
Like Kenny said last night when TSL played at The Cobalt Cafe, it's about a girl who has an ass hole for a boyfriend. TSL kicks ass.
this song rocks my world..boys are dumb.
this song rocks my world..boys are dumb.
haha agreed "pinkbandaid" but yeah.. i can really relte to this song. my last boyfriend was a complete asshole and all my friends and my mom were always saying that i could do so much better than him. he was the biggest jerk ever. i only heard this song for the first time yesterday but i fell in love with it because it was so me! tsl is like one of the best bands ever! they rule and write the truest songs!
This song replicates my girlfriends last 3 years with her old boyfriend. I feel so bad she had her heart broken, and that she had to put up with him. But like the song says, he was undeserving, and now I'm giving her everythings she wants. I miss you Meg! TSL is awesome!
good song good lyrics boy so suck
This song is perfect it's what im going through right now. I dont think I could express his words more because I would give anything to be with this girl I like. So thumbs up to this song. And by the way not all boys are dumb. For every 10 assholes out there, there is that one guy who gets screwed over by chicks. I would know....
