This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I'm fighting every war at once and I'm winning
You can't think of me as you did in the beginning
By the time you hear this song you've gone wrong
Caught in the labyrinths of time in your mind
Unlearn, unwind but not to worry
There is no hurry, come unto me says she
You've been polluted, uprooted by time
You have been muted, computed
But I'm a living vessel of the one
Of the moon, of the sun
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
I see evidence in how you hold your head
And I see evidence in how you say what's said
I see it in your eyes
That you've been hypnotized
You've been polluted, uprooted by time
You have been muted, computed
But I'm a living vessel of the one
Of the moon, of the sun
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
Bring yourself to be yourself
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
You can't think of me as you did in the beginning
By the time you hear this song you've gone wrong
Caught in the labyrinths of time in your mind
Unlearn, unwind but not to worry
There is no hurry, come unto me says she
You've been polluted, uprooted by time
You have been muted, computed
But I'm a living vessel of the one
Of the moon, of the sun
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
I see evidence in how you hold your head
And I see evidence in how you say what's said
I see it in your eyes
That you've been hypnotized
You've been polluted, uprooted by time
You have been muted, computed
But I'm a living vessel of the one
Of the moon, of the sun
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
Bring yourself to be yourself
Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem what the fuck?
Hey, but you keep living your lies
Hey, your life's a bore but you dream
Bring yourself to be yourself tonight
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself
Bring yourself to be yourself

@[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,

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.
This was the last song written for the album. The intro, Trents singing, came from the original version which was called War at Once. That song came about while we were on the road. One morning I texted Trent some lyrics which were I'm fighting every war at once and I'm winning. You can't think of me like u did in the beginning. That afternoon he comes to me with a track he made that day with him singing my words as the chorus. I was very impressed. That night, instead of watching NIN perform after my set, which I usually did, I wrote and recorded a poem over the track. It was pretty cool and lasted as a demo up until the point of mixing the album. When we pulled it up to mix, Trent was trying to find a nice way to say, "this shit is too poemy" just as I was thinking the same thing. I instantly started singing song lyrics that I actually wrote for Amethyst Rock Star over the track and it worked perfectly. I asked Alan to mute the old vocals and set up a mic. It took a second to come up with the chorus. I took a cue from my daughter who always likes to write songs with three snare hits (like in Surrender on the self titled) and put WTF where the hits would go. I felt like the chorus was the most poppy thing I'd ever written (Niggy Pop?) and so thought "what the fuck" was the perfect way to add some edge back to the song. The second half of the track came about from the beat CX programmed for Black Stacey for our live shows. He heard the orginal track, War at Once, and instantly suggested incorporating those drums. They fit beautifully. That day in the studio I asked Trent to let the beat ride and tried a few things over it. I had been listening to a lot of the Joshua Tree album, especially With or Without You, and was really feeling a need and desire to just belt out some chants. I saw Trent get excited which is usually followed by him softly implying that I should leave the room so he could start playing with my vocals. Fine with me. When I came back I added the harmonies and we all cheered. It was our first day of mixing and we had completly transformed a song we felt ok about into something we really loved. -Saul Williams saulwilliams.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
