@[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.
Like a hungry cat that hadn’t eaten in a week or more
You attacked me and asked me if I’d ever loved before
You called me selfish man and said I ruined our relationship
But I don’t understand how working hard is being selfish
Scorpio
You’re the tragedy
Scorpio
You’ll never sting me again
Like an angry wind, you weren’t happy till we all got cold
You need the suffering, just like a soldier needs to be bold
You weren’t a best friend,
cause best friends don’t demand things
They’ll give you love, love, love,
even when they don’t get attention
Rip me apart, tear out my
You can say anything you want
Say I’m unkind, I don’t take the time
It’s always the same old bullshit
I don’t need none of it
Scorpio
You are the tragedy
Scorpio
You’re gonna be the death of me
Scorpio
You’ll never sting me, no you’ll never sting me
You can never sting me again
You attacked me and asked me if I’d ever loved before
You called me selfish man and said I ruined our relationship
But I don’t understand how working hard is being selfish
Scorpio
You’re the tragedy
Scorpio
You’ll never sting me again
Like an angry wind, you weren’t happy till we all got cold
You need the suffering, just like a soldier needs to be bold
You weren’t a best friend,
cause best friends don’t demand things
They’ll give you love, love, love,
even when they don’t get attention
Rip me apart, tear out my
You can say anything you want
Say I’m unkind, I don’t take the time
It’s always the same old bullshit
I don’t need none of it
Scorpio
You are the tragedy
Scorpio
You’re gonna be the death of me
Scorpio
You’ll never sting me, no you’ll never sting me
You can never sting me again

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
