@[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.
There was light in the room
Then you left and it was through
Then the frost started in
My toes and fingertips
And it spread
And it spread into my heart
And it spread
And it spread into my heart
Then for I don't know how long
I settled in to doing wrong
And as the wind fills the sail
Came the thought to hurt my self
Come on,
And it spread
And it spread into my home
And it spread
And it spread into my soul
Well there are no lines
Separating the truth from the lie
Then you came back from space
With a brand new laugh and a different space
You took my hand and held it up
And shot my arm full of love
And it spread
And it spread into the world
And it spread, ooh
And it spread into the world
Well there are no lines
Separating the truth from the lie
Then you left and it was through
Then the frost started in
My toes and fingertips
And it spread
And it spread into my heart
And it spread
And it spread into my heart
Then for I don't know how long
I settled in to doing wrong
And as the wind fills the sail
Came the thought to hurt my self
Come on,
And it spread
And it spread into my home
And it spread
And it spread into my soul
Well there are no lines
Separating the truth from the lie
Then you came back from space
With a brand new laugh and a different space
You took my hand and held it up
And shot my arm full of love
And it spread
And it spread into the world
And it spread, ooh
And it spread into the world
Well there are no lines
Separating the truth from the lie

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
It just occurred to me that he could be talking about a different person in the first verse and the last. Like, "you" refers to the object of his affections, rather than one particular individual.
If "you" has "a brand new laugh and a different face," that suggests a new, or at least radically changed, person. I like that better too, so I'm gonna roll with it.
