@[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.
Indiscriminate I'd rather be elite
I'll choose my own shit scene
Unsubstantiated rumors flown are true
I'm here for me not you
Nonconglumurate I mean what I say
I'm not your fucking scape
Goat apparently I've alienated some
It seems my job's half done
You'll never understand it
Try to buy and brand it
I win, you lose, cause it's my job
To keep punk rock elite
This music ain't your fuckin' industry
I'll choose my own shit scene
Unsubstantiated rumors flown are true
I'm here for me not you
Nonconglumurate I mean what I say
I'm not your fucking scape
Goat apparently I've alienated some
It seems my job's half done
You'll never understand it
Try to buy and brand it
I win, you lose, cause it's my job
To keep punk rock elite
This music ain't your fuckin' industry

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
"You'll never understand it. Try to buy and brand it."
I think they're saying forget labels. Don't label us and water us down because you just don't GET IT.
"This music ain't your fuckin' industry"
--Point proven. NOFX will never sellout.
Overall this is a kickass song.
No, it is "scape" as in scapegoat. Skate won't make any sense.
'....apparently I've alienated some It seems my job's half done'
fat mike is glad that major record labels hate nofx/punk because punk hates them!
this is the best start to an album ever! it puts you in the right mood for it, and you know it could only be nofx. it fucking rocks! anyways, that's what i think...
this song to me is nofx telling major record labels to fuck off and that this isint a type of music they can make money off of.
i love the drums in this song!!! this song its just kick ass. this is one of my favorite nofx songs!
Maybe this is a fuck you to major record companies.
Or maybe it's a fuck you to all the cliquey scenesters and underground trend makers. People who seem to operate with very strict lists in their heads of what you can and can't listen to. It's a fuck you to everyone mired in the utterly pointless 'this is punk/ this is not punk' debate.
Maximum Rock 'n Roll, I'm looking in your direction.
That's my job too.
Does anyone know what 'Nonconglumurate' means? I never heard that word before. And why would he be a scapegoat?
This song is awesome is heard it two weeks ago live when NOFX played in Amsterdam.
I think it's telling off the punk rock elitists as well as the major record labels. It's just saying we're here to make music; we don't want to be bought, we don't want to be elitists.
I think it's supposed to be nonconglomerate.
