@[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 thought I heard you say
You wracked your brain and nearly thought of
Calling it a day
Belie the cost of sacrificing me
All that you wanted to be
Immaculate and pristine
Some sort of spiritual Sid and Nancy
We'll put the whole world to sleep
Just by the skin of our teeth
Rolling in like a Roman army
Tear your way back into my black heart, baby
I've waited too long just to have you slip away again
I know we spent so much time apart now lately
But pulling you close it's me and you until the end
Savvy in the way
You catch me scheming well before I
Come to plead my case
Despite a wealth of indiscretioning
All that you want me to be
Better to give than receive
Like a chemical - so disarming
We could put on a scene
But you think you should leave
Floating out with your eyes locked on me
A vulture to the bait
Without you, I'd be left to slowly
Pick amongst remains
All in all, I know I made a
Terrible mistake
I never want this night forgotten
And heaven help the day
We're nothing more than precious memory
Cast into the flame
I swear to you I'm never coming
Back for you again
Again, again, again, again, again
You wracked your brain and nearly thought of
Calling it a day
Belie the cost of sacrificing me
All that you wanted to be
Immaculate and pristine
Some sort of spiritual Sid and Nancy
We'll put the whole world to sleep
Just by the skin of our teeth
Rolling in like a Roman army
Tear your way back into my black heart, baby
I've waited too long just to have you slip away again
I know we spent so much time apart now lately
But pulling you close it's me and you until the end
Savvy in the way
You catch me scheming well before I
Come to plead my case
Despite a wealth of indiscretioning
All that you want me to be
Better to give than receive
Like a chemical - so disarming
We could put on a scene
But you think you should leave
Floating out with your eyes locked on me
A vulture to the bait
Without you, I'd be left to slowly
Pick amongst remains
All in all, I know I made a
Terrible mistake
I never want this night forgotten
And heaven help the day
We're nothing more than precious memory
Cast into the flame
I swear to you I'm never coming
Back for you again
Again, again, again, again, again

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
First comment, niggas. It's about drugs. Every song is about drugs </sarcasm> iunolol
