@[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.
I'm sick with the guilt
And I'm dipped in the anger
And sex is the one thing
That has brought me disease
I want to hurt people
Especially ones I know
I'm so fucking scared
I just wish I could go
But go to the store
Or the park or the mountains
I'll still be sick there
As the anger spews from me
Like fountains
Like fountains
I can break things
Things plastic
But things I'll remember
I broke
It's the gnawing
The clawing
The scraper inside
Wants to clean out
All that's inside
So there's only without
A numb hard shell
Is how they'll find me
Let me show you my best
I won't be that easy to find
I will fit in with the rest
I will fit in with the rest
The past is still with me
It follows not stopping
Slowing me down
To show me that nothing
Is left in my life
To say that I have changed
I'm still here obsessing
And thinking of nothing
Can't even be honest with myself
I don't want to fit in with the rest
I don't want to fit in with the rest
And I'm dipped in the anger
And sex is the one thing
That has brought me disease
I want to hurt people
Especially ones I know
I'm so fucking scared
I just wish I could go
But go to the store
Or the park or the mountains
I'll still be sick there
As the anger spews from me
Like fountains
Like fountains
I can break things
Things plastic
But things I'll remember
I broke
It's the gnawing
The clawing
The scraper inside
Wants to clean out
All that's inside
So there's only without
A numb hard shell
Is how they'll find me
Let me show you my best
I won't be that easy to find
I will fit in with the rest
I will fit in with the rest
The past is still with me
It follows not stopping
Slowing me down
To show me that nothing
Is left in my life
To say that I have changed
I'm still here obsessing
And thinking of nothing
Can't even be honest with myself
I don't want to fit in with the rest
I don't want to fit in with the rest

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think this is Failure's first release. Bad-ass song with a cool fretless bass riff. Part of me wishes they would have stuck with this style of music for a couple more albums but then of course they would have never made that gradual transition to the "space rock" phase that everyone loved. The song is pretty self explanatory - hatred, depression, anger.
Now we all know where Tool got their sound from.
well not exactly, tool was also influenced by king crimson and progressive rock, and early tool wasnt influenced by failure simply because tool was around first, but then they went on tour together, and that was an influence on them.
