@[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.
I thought I'd fall for you
'cause you're indifferent
this could be hard for you
that's where we're different
me, I'm not further from all your looks after all
you, you're so proud of you
In here, that's your secret
I thought you were lonely, collapsing all around
You're even far away, never hit the ground
I feel unhappy
Now that I know you
But there's nothing else to do
Say you feel the same
Say you feel the same
? just like
The day cast a shadow
The moonlight cast the sky...
'cause you're indifferent
this could be hard for you
that's where we're different
me, I'm not further from all your looks after all
you, you're so proud of you
In here, that's your secret
I thought you were lonely, collapsing all around
You're even far away, never hit the ground
I feel unhappy
Now that I know you
But there's nothing else to do
Say you feel the same
Say you feel the same
? just like
The day cast a shadow
The moonlight cast the sky...

Yo La Tengo
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Gosh, I wanna know the lyrics to this song! I love it so much.
This is what I hear:
I thought I'd fall for you 'cause you're indifferent this could be hard for you that's where we're different
You don't know where you're from all your looks have dropped You, you're so proud of me in here, that's your secret
I thought you were lonely collapsing all around You're even far away never hit the ground
I feel unhappy now that I'm over you* but there's nothing else to do so with me you're safe so with me you're safe

just like the day casts a shadow the moonlight casts a spell**
the day casts a shadow the moonlight casts a spell
the day casts a shadow the moonlight casts a spell
the day casts a shadow the moonlight casts a spell
the day casts a shadow the moonlight...
*I think there is a double meaning to the "over you" and the line "now that I'm over you." It can be taken as "over you" meaning a sexual position or "over you" meaning she has no more feelings for him.
** I hear "cast a spell" and sometimes I hear "cast the sky"-- I chose spell because that makes more sense.
