@[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.
Some were reborn
Some were simply shaken free
And some were the colors
That took to the streets
They found in those later years
They knew what we need
It's love for each other
And every living thing
And I hope my time (hope my time) is used
It's all my only and lonely time too
Some simply shaken free
Some were the colors
That took through the streets
They thought in those younger years
They knew what to do
They knew what to say
Had nothing to lose
Now pick up and pack up the place you were pink
And falling around
Dripping and crawling and clawing inside
You're missing some sounds
The ones that float, carry and dance about time
And space that it lends
Room to be free like the sun and the moon
Save for the sounds
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
We'll be reborn
Yeah, we'll simply be free
We'll be the colors
That pour through the streets
And find in there after years
We're all, we're all the same
We're all the colors
That pour through the streets
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Some were simply shaken free
And some were the colors
That took to the streets
They found in those later years
They knew what we need
It's love for each other
And every living thing
And I hope my time (hope my time) is used
It's all my only and lonely time too
Some simply shaken free
Some were the colors
That took through the streets
They thought in those younger years
They knew what to do
They knew what to say
Had nothing to lose
Now pick up and pack up the place you were pink
And falling around
Dripping and crawling and clawing inside
You're missing some sounds
The ones that float, carry and dance about time
And space that it lends
Room to be free like the sun and the moon
Save for the sounds
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
We'll be reborn
Yeah, we'll simply be free
We'll be the colors
That pour through the streets
And find in there after years
We're all, we're all the same
We're all the colors
That pour through the streets
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I
Take from the air, take to the streets, and I

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.
