@[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.
In the end I hope we go down in a blaze
When I go I hope I'm with you
You told me once you can't be good
Won't be good enough for this
When I die, I'll die alone
I tried hard to be the best man I could be
But demons come and drag me down
To find my own piece of mind
I've looked far and I've looked wide
And I think it's lost for good
Oh the wonder of falling down in the cold earth dirt
Oh the wonder of laying in a pool of your own blood
When it hits it hurts and you know this can't be good
But you think that this could work
So you try to run and heal on your own
Don't you know that this can't work.
The time has come for me to go down
and be a man
When I go I hope you're with me
You told me once you can't be good
Won't be good enough for this
When you die, you'll die alone
I tried hard to be the best man for you to see
But your eyes they cut me down
To find my own place to hide
I've looked far and I've looked wide
and I think you're getting good
Oh the wonder of falling down in the cold earth dirt
Oh the wonder of laying in a pool of your own blood
When it hits it hurts and you know this can't be good
But you think that this could work
So you try to run and heal on your own
Don't you know this can't work
All your life you've seen the world pass you by
Don't miss the wonder of the fall
Once we reach the other side you will see
You'll see the wonder of it all
When I go I hope I'm with you
You told me once you can't be good
Won't be good enough for this
When I die, I'll die alone
I tried hard to be the best man I could be
But demons come and drag me down
To find my own piece of mind
I've looked far and I've looked wide
And I think it's lost for good
Oh the wonder of falling down in the cold earth dirt
Oh the wonder of laying in a pool of your own blood
When it hits it hurts and you know this can't be good
But you think that this could work
So you try to run and heal on your own
Don't you know that this can't work.
The time has come for me to go down
and be a man
When I go I hope you're with me
You told me once you can't be good
Won't be good enough for this
When you die, you'll die alone
I tried hard to be the best man for you to see
But your eyes they cut me down
To find my own place to hide
I've looked far and I've looked wide
and I think you're getting good
Oh the wonder of falling down in the cold earth dirt
Oh the wonder of laying in a pool of your own blood
When it hits it hurts and you know this can't be good
But you think that this could work
So you try to run and heal on your own
Don't you know this can't work
All your life you've seen the world pass you by
Don't miss the wonder of the fall
Once we reach the other side you will see
You'll see the wonder of it all
