@[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.

Well, look. Of course I appreciate your sincerity, your earnestness, your eagerness to please, but if you don't mind, hold out your hands, 'cause I'm gonna smack you with the ruler. And be grateful, because I've been known to urinate in people's mouths. I've been known to shit on faces. I've been known to wipe my nose on people's hair, and vomit directly into people's assholes. I'm very well-known for these things, so you would do well not to cross me. You could do worse than to obey my every whim. Because I have been known to chain people up in the basement and leave the television on a public access channel with the volume all the way up and the remote control just out of reach.
For I am a great and savage god, and I am most well-known, and if you don't believe me, well, you had just better start, because, as I have said, I have been known to use people as handkerchiefs and toilet tissue and toilet bowls, and not because I don't have my own, but because I am a god, and people only exist to serve gods.
If I desire a woman–and when I desire sexual gratification it is with a woman, exclusively, for I am not a gay god or a bi god, but a straight god–when I desire a woman, I take her. I may, if I wish, ask her out a few times, maybe cook a nice dinner, try to amuse her with my keen wit and shy demeanor, so as to put her in a more conducive mood. I may even treat her like a goddess if I wish. But only if I wish. And if I wish to use dildos or vibrators or oils or gels or leather masks or handcuffs or a rubber suit or a wooden ping-pong paddle or any other assorted implement, then that is what I shall do.
I am a god! And human customs and rules of decorum and propriety do not apply to me. (I am a god!) If I wish to eat horse meat or dog meat, even though I am a vegan god, I will do so. For that matter, if I want to fuck a young man up the ass or suck off somebody's grandfather, I will do that too, even though I am a straight god. And so on.
And it is so excellent to be a god, let me tell you: I don't have to pay for anything, I can park wherever I want, and people have to pray to me. It is a happy happy life, and I am oh-so-lucky to be a god.
I am a god!
I am a god!
I am a god!

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

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,
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
