This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The backroom boys are playin' real hard
There's a lot of money rollin' on the next card
Some are goin' up some are goin' down
Some'll never make it to the next round
Stone me it don't come free
You gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin' meaner with the dealer--'cause he can't lose
Someone shouts out,"it's a goddamn shame"
The dealer's gettin' meaner with the cocaine
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Up all night, playin' it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
The backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when you're up, kick you when you're down
You'll always be a loser in their town
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Up all night, playin' it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
The backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when you're up, kick you when you're down
You'll always be a loser in their town
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
There's a lot of money rollin' on the next card
Some are goin' up some are goin' down
Some'll never make it to the next round
Stone me it don't come free
You gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin' meaner with the dealer--'cause he can't lose
Someone shouts out,"it's a goddamn shame"
The dealer's gettin' meaner with the cocaine
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Up all night, playin' it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
The backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when you're up, kick you when you're down
You'll always be a loser in their town
Stone me it don't come free

Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Up all night, playin' it right

Backroom boys
The backroom boys are all the same

Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy
Stone me it don't come free
Gotta be a winner
If you want to be a backroom boy
Can't stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you want to be a backroom boy

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
