@[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 we walked a thousand days,
there was nothing more to find.
Million peoples in our way.
Million ways to lose our minds.
Met a girl the other day,
didn't know what I should say.
Saw myself inside her eyes,
there was nothing more to find.
We're lying. We've lied to you.
we've lied to make our point of view.
Hello Captain, I have faith,
more than those who follow me.
If we strike them through their hearts,
then their minds will set them free.
Met a girl the other year,
didn't know who I should be.
We're lying. We've lied to you.
we've lied to make our point of view.
We're lying. We've lied to say,
we've learned to lie our lives away.
Wonder what makes you change your mind.
Wonder what makes you keep on spinning.
Wonder what makes you wanna cry.
Wonder what makes your life worth living.
Wonder what goes on in your brain.
Wonder what goes on in your kitchen.
Wonder what makes you, well..
We're lying. We've lied to you.
we've lied to make our point of view.
We're lying. We've lied to say,
that's right..

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 don't think this song is by Bloc Party... It's not listed on blocparty.net (and they have VERY obscure songs on there), the main vocals don't sound like Kele at all (not to mention not british-sounding), the guitar style is very different (unnervingly basic) from every other Bloc Party song, and there is a female vocal track on it... Can someone verify this?
