@[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.
yeah yeah yeah
let the fire burn
let the fire roar
bouncin' back and forth to beat
gettin' angle wings to soar high
[Bonafide]
i gotta hit den submit it to
let the flame consume me, control me, that i would listen to it
glisten while its crissinin'
rhymes that bring presition through it
lines paintin' vision through it
lives resurrected through it
game well respected for it and that's why we so true with it and ain't gone never be through with it
why we so hot but cool with it
so fresh, so clean, so new with it
so let the fire burn
let the fire roar
build ya body baby
trust me you'll be comin' back for more
lack for no more
a thirst for no thing
hurt for no pain
a lust for no man
a woman not yours (whoa)
and that's the truth man
hundred fifty proof man
swig some and get dumb so you could get high
CHORUS 2 x
[Coffee]
Sink in favor what you pick behavior
flash across the screen it inflict the flavor
cherish and embrace in every moment saved uncontiously
our conquest
aimlessly they goin' bonkers smokin' on dat bombsess
foolishness and nonsense
we barely scratch the surface
not on purpose about a thousand times around with countless minds
we pass they lives as worthless
we poke our nose when those boys pose
we curious to see what's goin down when doors close
figure out they morris code
they box up they emotion
cause camotions
beyond they act like big fishes in a pond
but really rocks in a ocean
boned it eyes
saw da score
in '94
and we cleaned the floor
with pores that were soar
mended wings 'til we reached the core
CHORUS til fade out
let the fire burn
let the fire roar
bouncin' back and forth to beat
gettin' angle wings to soar high
[Bonafide]

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
