@[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.
Come in close come in tight
Taste my neck and take a bite
Be the vampire saints you are
Stab it right into my heart
Cut my skin upon your teeth
Cut the muscle underneath
We're not animals at all
Only marching to the call
When the saints go marching in
We'll be walking right beside them
Wanna taste it on my tongue
Breathe it right into my lungs
Taste the blood and sweat like wine
Bite the fruit right off the wine
Stretch out like you're crucified
On the altar of my eye
Resurrect my beaten soul
Turn my metal heart to Gold
When the saints go marching in
We'll be walking right beside them
Come in close come in tight
One more dance before we die
Be the vampire saints you are
Stab it right into my heart
RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED!
Taste my neck and take a bite
Be the vampire saints you are
Stab it right into my heart
Cut my skin upon your teeth
Cut the muscle underneath
We're not animals at all
Only marching to the call
When the saints go marching in
We'll be walking right beside them
Wanna taste it on my tongue
Breathe it right into my lungs
Taste the blood and sweat like wine
Bite the fruit right off the wine
Stretch out like you're crucified
On the altar of my eye
Resurrect my beaten soul
Turn my metal heart to Gold
When the saints go marching in
We'll be walking right beside them
Come in close come in tight
One more dance before we die
Be the vampire saints you are
Stab it right into my heart
RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED BLOOD RED!

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

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
Is this satire?
