@[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.
123 goodbye
I love you more in death
than I ever could in life
123 all sigh
when the dollar is young
and the year is new
me and the full Wolf Moon
will be over you
Unto the nighttime
I dream for you 12 sparrows pretty in a row
1 and 23 eyes open to the risen scarecrow of scarecrows
with his mind all blown
down those hay lined roads
to his farmer's throne
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me
when we were sad
Once upon a time
we were happy in the bathtub
in the abacus of the rains
once upon a time
we take our laughter to the blackboard
with a calculus of pain
and with good news from the weather vein
we'll go our separate ways
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me
when we were sad
Once in a lifetime
when the dollar is young and the year is new
once in a lifetime
will the undoing of two souls be so easy to do
like it was for me, like it was for you
when you find somebody who's so very easy to lose
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me when we were sad
123 goodbye, goodbye
Ready? 123 goodbye
Steady! 123 goodbye
Nice to know you! three goodbye
It's very nice to meet you! three goodbye
Are you ready? 123 GOODBYE
I love you more in death
than I ever could in life
123 all sigh
when the dollar is young
and the year is new
me and the full Wolf Moon
will be over you
Unto the nighttime
I dream for you 12 sparrows pretty in a row
1 and 23 eyes open to the risen scarecrow of scarecrows
with his mind all blown
down those hay lined roads
to his farmer's throne
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me
when we were sad
Once upon a time
we were happy in the bathtub
in the abacus of the rains
once upon a time
we take our laughter to the blackboard
with a calculus of pain
and with good news from the weather vein
we'll go our separate ways
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me
when we were sad
Once in a lifetime
when the dollar is young and the year is new
once in a lifetime
will the undoing of two souls be so easy to do
like it was for me, like it was for you
when you find somebody who's so very easy to lose
It was happy 123
it was sad 123
we were happy once you and me when we were sad
123 goodbye, goodbye
Ready? 123 goodbye
Steady! 123 goodbye
Nice to know you! three goodbye
It's very nice to meet you! three goodbye
Are you ready? 123 GOODBYE

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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
The lyrics should be "I dream for you 12 sparrow pretty in a row 1 and 23 eyes open to the risen scarecrow with his mind fully blown down those hay lined roads to his farmer's throne."
