@[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.
Stay awhile with me and let me know that you are always gonna be the one
To hold me close and never fear the darkness creeping in before we've lost the sun
The only way we've ever known to do things is to work before we've had our fun
Cause we can't watch the stars that fall across the evening sky until the day is done
All i want to know is how it feels to be in love
But all i really know i don't want to be in love
And now we're lighting sparklers, holding hands together awkwardly in the dark
With nothing else to light the space around us but the glow from our own sparkler's spark
Flashing little lights say we should go uphill somewhere and take look around
Weightless, waiting on a weight to bring us softly down until we reach the ground
All i want to know is how it feels to be in love
But all i really know is how to want to be in love
We spent the night-time hours dreaming, wishing we could stay awake and talk all night
Just to catch a glimpse of the impending show of the green glowing morning light
We made the choice to not be tied together so we'd never end up in a fight
But part of me still feels like there is something missing, maybe something isnt right
All i want to know is how it feels to fall in love
But all i really know is that i want to be in love
To hold me close and never fear the darkness creeping in before we've lost the sun
The only way we've ever known to do things is to work before we've had our fun
Cause we can't watch the stars that fall across the evening sky until the day is done
All i want to know is how it feels to be in love
But all i really know i don't want to be in love
And now we're lighting sparklers, holding hands together awkwardly in the dark
With nothing else to light the space around us but the glow from our own sparkler's spark
Flashing little lights say we should go uphill somewhere and take look around
Weightless, waiting on a weight to bring us softly down until we reach the ground
All i want to know is how it feels to be in love
But all i really know is how to want to be in love
We spent the night-time hours dreaming, wishing we could stay awake and talk all night
Just to catch a glimpse of the impending show of the green glowing morning light
We made the choice to not be tied together so we'd never end up in a fight
But part of me still feels like there is something missing, maybe something isnt right
All i want to know is how it feels to fall in love
But all i really know is that i want to be in love

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.

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.

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.
