@[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.
Our appitite for passion could raise the dead alone
Nothing can stop our hearts from where they flow
And one day your life will flash right before your own eyes
And you don't want to be left wondering why,
Can you be proud of the paths youve led?
Will you regret the time you spend?
Can you answer me this in the end?
Or are you already dead?
Did you live your life or are you already dead? (x2)
When you stop dreaming you start dying and there won't be anything left (x2)
We all have these masks that we hide behind
We all have these masks that we're hiding behind
When we know that it's not our true selvs
I am the fire the wind and the sea (x2)
I am the fire the wind and the sea, I will surround you like a spreading disease (x2)
Nothing can stop our hearts from where they flow
And one day your life will flash right before your own eyes
And you don't want to be left wondering why,
Can you be proud of the paths youve led?
Will you regret the time you spend?
Can you answer me this in the end?
Or are you already dead?
Did you live your life or are you already dead? (x2)
When you stop dreaming you start dying and there won't be anything left (x2)
We all have these masks that we hide behind
We all have these masks that we're hiding behind
When we know that it's not our true selvs
I am the fire the wind and the sea (x2)
I am the fire the wind and the sea, I will surround you like a spreading disease (x2)

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,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The ending to this song is so brutal.
