@[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.
Boy, I see you looking over
You keep on looking back and watching me
The way you come closer
Closer to the one that's good for you
Because you're still going back to that life
And I refuse to stand on the side
By sparing her from heartache
Don't you know you end up hurting me
I see your head spin right around
She makes you fall and hit the ground
When you ever going to let her go
See the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
To take control and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left
Before I let you go
Oh whoa oh whoa
So you say this will get better
Better for you, her or me?
Well I don't know what to tell ya
It's not my fault that I don't believe
'Cause you're still so stuck in that life
And I refuse to stay on this ride
'Cause I'm going round in circles
Aren't you tired of never having peace
I see your head spin right around
As she makes you fall and meet the ground
When you ever going to let her go
See the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
Take control and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left
Before I let you go
I have been waiting
For you to change this
But it has taken too long
So I can't keep waiting
I've got to change this
It's time for me to be so strong
I see your head spin right around
She make you fall and hit the ground
When you ever going to let her go
I see the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
To take controls and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left
Before I let you go
I see your head spin right around
She make you fall and hit the ground
When you ever going to let her go
I see the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
To take controls and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left
Before I let you go
(Baby, baby I)
Before I before I
Before I before I
Let you go (No, no)
I don't wanna let you go
You keep on looking back and watching me
The way you come closer
Closer to the one that's good for you
Because you're still going back to that life
And I refuse to stand on the side
By sparing her from heartache
Don't you know you end up hurting me
I see your head spin right around
She makes you fall and hit the ground
When you ever going to let her go
See the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
To take control and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left
Before I let you go
Oh whoa oh whoa
So you say this will get better
Better for you, her or me?
Well I don't know what to tell ya
It's not my fault that I don't believe
'Cause you're still so stuck in that life
And I refuse to stay on this ride
'Cause I'm going round in circles
Aren't you tired of never having peace
I see your head spin right around
As she makes you fall and meet the ground
When you ever going to let her go
See the way that she breaks you so
All I'm asking is for you please
Take control and be set free
Make some space so we can grow
Say you left

I have been waiting
For you to change this
But it has taken too long

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.
