@[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.
Find a way into society
There might be a way -mediocrity
I'll travel that road
Some others have tried
You might laugh at me
You've got so much pride
But you and your friends you might cry
When you see that I have passed you by
Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark?
Are you gonna be there
When I set the spark?
At the love-in
With your head in the air
When I make my move, I ain't gonna lose,
There's people out there who'll help me
If I choose the right direction
When I'm makin' my connections in this world.
There's too many people don't know where they belong
They need someone to tell them right from wrong
You better break away, try to be yourself
Don't leave your future to someone else
Design the laws that gonna govern your fate
You better watch yourself it might be too late
Are you gonna be there
With a broken heart?
Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark?
At the love-in
When I set the spark
When I set that spark that starts the flame
That burns up in the souls that have been
Too late to be accounted for
I'll open up my door and let them in
Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna be there?
I'm gonna be there
I said I'm gonna be there
There might be a way -mediocrity
I'll travel that road
Some others have tried
You might laugh at me
You've got so much pride
But you and your friends you might cry
When you see that I have passed you by
Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark?
Are you gonna be there
When I set the spark?
At the love-in
With your head in the air
When I make my move, I ain't gonna lose,
There's people out there who'll help me
If I choose the right direction
When I'm makin' my connections in this world.
There's too many people don't know where they belong
They need someone to tell them right from wrong
You better break away, try to be yourself
Don't leave your future to someone else
Design the laws that gonna govern your fate
You better watch yourself it might be too late
Are you gonna be there
With a broken heart?
Are you gonna be there
When I make my mark?
At the love-in
When I set the spark
When I set that spark that starts the flame
That burns up in the souls that have been
Too late to be accounted for
I'll open up my door and let them in
Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna be there?
I'm gonna be there
I said I'm gonna be there
