@[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.
There's no work in walking in to fuel the talk
I would grab my shoes, and then away I'd walk
Through all the stubborn beauty, I start at the dawn
Until the sun had fully stopped
Never walking away from
Just a way to pull apart
Dehydrate back into minerals
A lifelong walk to the
Same exact spot
Carbon's anniversary
The parting of the sensory
Old, old mystery
The parting of the sensory
Who the hell made you the boss?
We placed our chips in all the right spots
But still lost
Any shithead who had ever walked
Could take the ship and do a much finer job
These fit like clothes made out of wasps
Aw, fuck it, I guess I lost
The parting of the sensory
Carbon's anniversary
Just part it again if you please
Carbon's anniversary
Who the hell made you the boss?
If you say what to do, I know when not to stop
If you were the ship, who would ever get on?
The weather changed it for the worse
And came down on us like it had been rehearsed
Unlikely hope, but change will surely come
It'd be awful for most, but really good for some
A four year trip to the exact same spot
We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock
And every single shot
Aw, fuck it, I guess we lost
Someday you will die and somehow something's gonna steal your carbon
Someday you will die and somehow something's gonna steal your carbon, hey-hey-hey
Well, someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon
(Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon)
Someday you will die and someone's or something will steal your carbon
(Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your)
Someday something will die and somehow you'll figure out how often
You will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon
Something will die and you will prob'ly just steal its carbon
Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon, hey-hey-hey
Someday, somehow, or something will die and you will steal its carbon
Somehow you will die and you will figure out how often you will die somehow
And something's gonna steal your carbon
Someday you will die somehow and someone's gonna steal your carbon, hey
Someday you will die, and somehow you will figure out how often
Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon
You will die and somehow it's gonna steal your
Always have figure out and find out we were bathed in carbon
You will figure out that somehow you will
Well, someday you will die somehow and someone's gonna steal your carbon (steal your carbon)

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The more I listen to this album the more I realize how much I like this song. This is the best song on the album.
