@[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.
Ask me, I'm fine or I will be
I got a bullet-proof vest on and the cure for AIDS
And a pill that makes me happy
Ask me, I'm fine or I will be
I've got the cure for loneliness
And a pill that makes all my problems resolved
I got a bullet-proof vest on
And I wiretapped your brain
I want to do this right
Dyno, dynomite
You should have just listened to your friends
You would have been over this by now
I thought we told each other to live in different worlds
Oh, you should have listened to your friends
You would have been over this by now, over this by now
(Well, sure it's complicated, but I still know)
Oh, there's only so much I can take
(That I can get frustrated and snort that blow)
But I guess we'll never really find out
Never really find out
Rate me and judge me on a graph that you drew
Hope I compare to the friends that left you for dead
I guess I'm not making myself perfectly clear
I guess I'm not making myself perfectly clear
How many times
How many times
How many times is this gonna happen?
How many times
How many times
How many times is this gonna happen?
I've got to blame all these people as fast as I motherfucking can
You were fooled, this ain't no fucking day job
Oh, you should have listened to your friends
You would have been over this by now, over this by now
(Well, sure it's complicated, but I still know)
Oh, there's only so much I can take
(That I can get frustrated and snort that blow)
But I guess we'll never really find out
Never really find out
Suddenly, we startle ourselves
Staring upon each other in silence, silence
To think this whole time, we're provoking each other in blinding violence

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
Clearly about Jonny. I think someone left thier balls apart.
man, everyone has their own opinion on lyrics, writers write to make ppl feel an emotion. If you interpret this song in a different way its clearly not about johnny. <br /> <br /> "Rate me and judge me on a graph that you drew" ? that lines about johnny ? Ha ! all it means is someone has an opinion about another, and thats the only way that person thinks of the other. Yeah obviously about Johnny.<br /> <br /> Listen to the song, and feel what you feel before reading these comments. <br /> <br /> thank you.
