This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Ms. Leading you taught me what I didn’t need to know
How did you mark the occasion a silver stamp across your thigh
How many men have their hands on your skirt?
in an attempt to salvage self respect you simply could have slapped their wrists
How many times did you let yourself go?
Think back a couple weeks a couple months just how longs this been going on?
Hold on now, don’t tell me, pretend this didn’t happen
my my lust for ignorance but I lust for you
You were the only one that didn’t fold
Its in you my dear
I attempt to turn light on the situation that’s so dim
How many dresses were over your face
In an attempt to make a life worthwhile you could have stopped it years ago
How many times did you let yourself go
Think back a couple weeks a couple months just how longs this been going on?
Hold on now don’t tell me, pretend this never happened
Now my lust for ignorance like I lust for you
You were the only one that didn’t fold
How did you mark the occasion a silver stamp across your thigh
How many men have their hands on your skirt?
in an attempt to salvage self respect you simply could have slapped their wrists
How many times did you let yourself go?
Think back a couple weeks a couple months just how longs this been going on?
Hold on now, don’t tell me, pretend this didn’t happen
my my lust for ignorance but I lust for you
You were the only one that didn’t fold
Its in you my dear
I attempt to turn light on the situation that’s so dim
How many dresses were over your face
In an attempt to make a life worthwhile you could have stopped it years ago
How many times did you let yourself go
Think back a couple weeks a couple months just how longs this been going on?
Hold on now don’t tell me, pretend this never happened
Now my lust for ignorance like I lust for you
You were the only one that didn’t fold

Holiday

@[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.

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.
So fucking amazing. God, TDH is so effing underrated.
