This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
everyday i wake up late
since i quit my day job
i have been sane
but responsibilities sure do remain
but i'll just let them wait
cause i don't know what i am doing now
and i won't try to act like it
cause i sure don't know how
and i bet that i don't know
just where i'm going on this long and winding road
thats taking me to what will be my home
so stare and see that this is me
and i will be just what i need to believe
that something is what i'm gonna be
and what you do is what you do
and what i do needs to be true
the things i do may need to be thought through
but just remember whats right for me might be not right for you
staring at this mirror
and i'm wondering who you are
right nows a time for searching
and i just wish i had a car
to drive a long distance
and just think about the war
and how lifes got so much more
i don't know what i am doing now
and i won't try to act like it
cause i sure don't know how
and i bet that i don't know
just where i'm going on this long and winding road
thats taking me to what will be my home
so stare and see that this is me
and i will be just what i need to believe
that something is what i'm gonna be
and what you do is what you do
and what i do needs to be true
the things i do may need to be thought through
but i know what i wanna do
and i want it to be true
and yeah i'll be the first to say
that of course i'll listen to you
but remember whats right for me
might be not right for you
since i quit my day job
i have been sane
but responsibilities sure do remain
but i'll just let them wait
cause i don't know what i am doing now
and i won't try to act like it
cause i sure don't know how
and i bet that i don't know
just where i'm going on this long and winding road
thats taking me to what will be my home
so stare and see that this is me
and i will be just what i need to believe
that something is what i'm gonna be
and what you do is what you do
and what i do needs to be true
the things i do may need to be thought through
but just remember whats right for me might be not right for you
staring at this mirror
and i'm wondering who you are
right nows a time for searching
and i just wish i had a car
to drive a long distance
and just think about the war
and how lifes got so much more
i don't know what i am doing now
and i won't try to act like it
cause i sure don't know how

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
