This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It may be my imagination
And of course I'm prone to exaggeration
But in the moth eaten gloom of my shabby room I saw the strangest manifestation
One possible explanation is that it was merely a trick of the light
But that's little consolation
'Cause it's gotten so that I can't sleep at night!!
What Presence?!
Steppin' out 'neath a harvest moon, steppin' out to the strains of this self-same tune and it's screaming in my ears
And of course I'm prone to exaggeration
But in the moth eaten gloom of my shabby room I saw the strangest manifestation
One possible explanation is that it was merely a trick of the light
But that's little consolation
'Cause it's gotten so that I can't sleep at night!!
What Presence?!
Steppin' out 'neath a harvest moon, steppin' out to the strains of this self-same tune and it's screaming in my ears

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

talk about presence - this song has amazing presence. really it is super good from a musical point of view; one of the best songs from the 80's - no doubt in my mind about that. Had edwyn been seeing ghosts? All that river running dry patter at the end really works too, probably referring to the river of creativity, but it matters little. Like the way he is out in the street, unable to sleep, under the harvest moon, with the tune (or whatever) screaming in his ears. what a song!!
Quite definitely the ghost troubling Edwyn, keeping him awake at night is the spectre of how he's going to sustain his life after his 5 minutes of fame is over. Brilliant!
