@[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 felt unable, I was lying on my side
In the same clothes from the very last night
I wanna pray that I am doing everything right
I saw my mom die for the very first time
She was an angel, God took her from the sky
And there's a million other people
That I found who cared more than I ever will
I held that note out
I grabbed my bag and I left through the door
I let my hair grow
Put these words on my skin I cannot relate
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you
And I am lost again, God believe I'm lost again
I stayed in bed and you took so much that I couldn't even sleep
I waited so long though that wasn't even that bad
I never had to be a part of the world and I've been making that a goal
For reasons that I cannot explain
Well, I'm an optimist but only in a perfect world
I think I'm too stained with all the negativity
From all the people in my way
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you
And I am lost again, oh God believe I'm lost again
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you
And I am lost again, oh God believe I'm lost again
I took a trip down south, I felt the sun on my face
And it made things okay for a second
I drew a picture of my problems
When I was going insane and I focused on the currents
It's the funny thing about it, I never seem to worry
That every single current's not the same
It's all about position and where I choose to lay
And God I am going away
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you
And I am lost again, oh God believe I'm lost again
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you
In the same clothes from the very last night
I wanna pray that I am doing everything right
I saw my mom die for the very first time
She was an angel, God took her from the sky
And there's a million other people

I held that note out

Put these words on my skin I cannot relate
Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?
I can't find the strength in my voice to call you back
And say that everything is bad without you

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I love this song. Yeah, I would definitely say its about his mom. Though he's a guy singing he still has humanity. and the song is just so saddening at time, but I could listen to it all day.
