@[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.
Icelandic lyrics:
Með pistasÃuhnetubragð
á tungunni à allann dag.
Ég steig á baðsloppinn hans Jóns
og rann og kramdi sjónvarpið
og rafmagnið fór af og allt à klessu.
Ég kveikti bara á einu litlu kerti.
En skyndilega datt kertið à gólfið
og þá kom logi, og annar logi
og húsið mitt góða brann.
Það brann, það brann, það brann, það brann.
English translation:
Candle and the house burnt down
With pistaccionut-taste
on the toungue all day.
I stepped on Jon's bathrobe
and slipped og crushed the tv
and the electricity went off and everything messed up.
I only lit one small candle.
But suddenly the candle fell on the floor
and then came a fire, and another fire
and my good house burnt down.
It burnt down, it burnt down, it burnt down, it burnt down.
