This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I'm on a lonely road and I'm traveling,
Traveling, traveling, traveling,
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some,
Oh I love you, when I forget about me,
I want to be strong, I want to to laugh along,
I want to belong to the living,
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want to dance with me, baby?
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby?
Well, come on.
All I really, really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really, really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you,
I want to shampoo you,
I want to renew you again and again,
Applause, Applause, life is our cause
When I think of your kisses,
My mind see-saws,
Do you see, do you see, do you see, how you hurt me, baby
So I hurt you too, and we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling, it's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun,
I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater,
I want to write you a love letter,
I want to make you feel better,
I want to make you feel free
Oh oh oh, I want to make you feel free,
I want to make you feel free
Traveling, traveling, traveling,
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some,
Oh I love you, when I forget about me,
I want to be strong, I want to to laugh along,
I want to belong to the living,
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want to dance with me, baby?
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby?
Well, come on.
All I really, really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really, really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you,
I want to shampoo you,
I want to renew you again and again,
Applause, Applause, life is our cause
When I think of your kisses,
My mind see-saws,
Do you see, do you see, do you see, how you hurt me, baby
So I hurt you too, and we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling, it's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun,
I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater,
I want to write you a love letter,
I want to make you feel better,
I want to make you feel free
Oh oh oh, I want to make you feel free,
I want to make you feel free

Holiday

@[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.

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,
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.

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.
