Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I've seen you in a darkness
Your face in a dusk
Your silhouette in a shades
Eyes gliming full of lust
You try to dazzle me with your beauty
You try to bewitch me
When cold north wind blows
I can smell your perfume
When frost bites
I feel your lips on my neck
I don't want to share my life
Oh, no with you
I want your sweets and things we used to do
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
I hear your lullaby, ah, that sweet melody
And I can remember those words
Which you whispered in my ear
You try to dazzle me with your beauty
You try to bewitch me
I feel your loving embrace
In my dream I see your face
Your soft skin under my fingertips
And taste of your lips
I don't want to share my life
Oh, no with you
I want your sweets and things we used to do
(The time you spend with me
Was nothing but a dream
And that's the thing you see
You were the chosen one
We made love under neversetting sun
And that's everything)
I could do with you
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
(Dark desire dressed in black
You try to turn me your back
But you desire me
Like a darkness desires you
You try to forget, those times we spent together
But your desire is)
What bothers you the most
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
Do it, do it end your life
But don't tease me anymore, with your cries, repent
Repent
Repent whore
Your face in a dusk
Your silhouette in a shades
Eyes gliming full of lust
You try to dazzle me with your beauty
You try to bewitch me
When cold north wind blows
I can smell your perfume
When frost bites
I feel your lips on my neck
I don't want to share my life
Oh, no with you
I want your sweets and things we used to do
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
I hear your lullaby, ah, that sweet melody
And I can remember those words
Which you whispered in my ear
You try to dazzle me with your beauty
You try to bewitch me
I feel your loving embrace
In my dream I see your face
Your soft skin under my fingertips
And taste of your lips
I don't want to share my life
Oh, no with you
I want your sweets and things we used to do
(The time you spend with me
Was nothing but a dream
And that's the thing you see
You were the chosen one
We made love under neversetting sun
And that's everything)
I could do with you
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
(Dark desire dressed in black
You try to turn me your back
But you desire me
Like a darkness desires you
You try to forget, those times we spent together
But your desire is)
What bothers you the most
No, you can't reach my love
So go, or be mistress of my dreams
No, in my life there's no room for you
As you know, your flesh is what I want
Do it, do it end your life
But don't tease me anymore, with your cries, repent
Repent
Repent whore

@[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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think it's about this girl that this guy only liked for looks and then she wanted to get married but he didn't want to marry her for looks alone and she kills herself.
