@[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.
When I am going
‘Round the bend
I got a wild
Imaginary friend
When I am driven
Up the wall
My old friend
He comes to call
Mister Whisper’s
Here again
Mister Whisper’s
Here again
He’s back
In his apartment
In my head
He’s back
Mister Whisper’s
Here again
Mister Whisper’s
Here again
He’s back
In his apartment
Like I said
Just when life
Can’t get much worse
He tells me
Reassuring things
Says I’m the
Center of the universe
Says I’m as good as
Presidents and kings
Mister Whisper’s
Her again
Mister Whisper’s
Here again
I think
I can control him
But instead
Mister Whisper
Takes control
Guides my heart
And rides my soul
The minute that
He steps
Inside my head
Just when I am
Sure he’ll stay
They shoot me
With a bolt or two
They try to drive
My mister friend
Away
And damn it all
They nearly always do
And damn it all
They nearly always do
Mister Whisper
Don’t go ’way
Mister Whisper
Won’t you stay
It gets so lonely
Wish
That I were dead
Listen Whisper
Please don’t go
Listen, whisper
Don’t you know
I’d rather
Madness
Than this sadness
In my head
The thought
He’ll leave
Just bitterly burns
And my despondence
Grows
As soon as lonely
Lonely sanity
Returns
And old mister
Old Mister Whisper
Goes
And old mister
Old Mister Whisper
Goes
The thought
He’ll leave
Just bitterly burns
And my despondence
Grows
I lost my blue buttons
He sent me
Blue Buttons
On my birthday
But my blue buttons
Came loose
Loose
Loose
Lucy Brown
Lucy in the sky
Luce
Lucent
Lucid
Lucidity
Lucifer
Light
Hang luce
Stay loose
I
How did I get this way
I was
What was I going to say
I was on
How did I get in here
I was on my
Wasn’t I here last year
I was on my way
Why have they locked me in
I was on my way to
Who is my next of kin
Christ
Won’t I ever win
I paid
My airplane fare
I was
On my way to where…
‘Round the bend
I got a wild

Yo La Tengo
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.

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.
