@[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.
Nothing feels right
But my fake smiles paint pictures like everything's fine
Sheep like what they're told
So they've got spindles spinning bad songs into gold
And who decides what's wrong or right to like?
When the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
And I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
And all the best songs what's the best about 'em?
I thought I was part of something more
But more money, less substance, more demand
I've heard great songs that no one understands
You can't lay brick on wet cement or build castles out of sand
But who decides?
But when the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
Then I will try and try again
And hope that someone understands
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
And they can say they love you
But it still won't change a thing
'Cause the tides may turn tomorrow
And I won't be there to look
And I can say
I've got to say
Dollar by dollar, your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
And they don't care about
They don't care
It's a good thing bad trends fade away
It's so much cooler in the shade
And they don't care about
They don't care
We give in nightly to our addiction
A self-afflicted public crucifixion
They don't care about
And they don't care
Dollar by dollar, your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
They don't care about
They don't care about
They don't care
They never cared
But my fake smiles paint pictures like everything's fine
Sheep like what they're told
So they've got spindles spinning bad songs into gold
And who decides what's wrong or right to like?
When the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
And I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
And all the best songs what's the best about 'em?
I thought I was part of something more
But more money, less substance, more demand
I've heard great songs that no one understands
You can't lay brick on wet cement or build castles out of sand
But who decides?
But when the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
Then I will try and try again
And hope that someone understands
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
And they can say they love you
But it still won't change a thing
'Cause the tides may turn tomorrow
And I won't be there to look
And I can say
I've got to say
Dollar by dollar, your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
And they don't care about
They don't care
It's a good thing bad trends fade away
It's so much cooler in the shade
And they don't care about
They don't care
We give in nightly to our addiction
A self-afflicted public crucifixion
They don't care about
And they don't care
Dollar by dollar, your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
They don't care about
They don't care about
They don't care
They never cared

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,

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 its about pop singers how they come out with music just for money and there is no real talent or thought into theyre songs how they just slap anything together and get money out of it and how its an insult to good bands that put alot of thought and meaning into theyre lyrics and make music that isnt just another pop trend that will fade out.
