@[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.

And I hope you feel my pain
Hope you don't forget my name
For the cause I claim Reason I came,
Tell me, was in all in vain
I walk all in chain
For the midnight rain
I sing And the man would say
Stop the music playing loud and clear
Instead I wanna hear
Oh lord that I wanna hear
Buts its loud and clear
And its deep inside my soul
(For dam nations near)
(pnc)
Yeah raise some hands say my name and let it rain X4
(scribe)
And I refuse to lose
No I never been a type to quit
Ill properly give it now
And just turn back around
And that's one of many differences
Because I don't care what the distance is
I told you ill take it all the way
I couldn't just walk away
And just pretend like I don't have more to say
Stop the music playing low and clear
Instead I wanna hear
Oh lord that I wanna hear
Buts it's loud and clear
And its deep inside my soul
They can't hold me down no more
They got to let me go .
(pnc)
Raise some hands say my name and let it rain X4
(scribe)
Cause I know what I got to do
I couldn't stop now even if I wanted to
They told me give it up its impossible
And if I bury my head in the sand like the ostriches do
And I'm young and I still got a lot to prove
Can't stop won't stop unstoppable
Elevated broken down all obstacles
Until I head a voice from other side of the room Telling me to
Stop the music playing low and clear
Instead I wanna hear
Oh lord that I wanna hear
Buts it's loud and clear
And its deep inside my soul
They can't hold me down no more
They got to let me go
(For dam nations near)

Yeah raise some hands say my name and let it rain X8
And I hope you feel my pain
Hope you don't forget my name
For the cause I claim Reason I came,

Instead I wanna hear
Oh lord that I wanna hear

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
