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”
She flies so gracefully over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs and gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice to sound her mating call
And soon a mate responds by singing "Caw, caw, caw"
Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's when you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak
She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight
Searching for some shells
Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're...you're with me
And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She looks at her as if to say
The day is done
It's time to find their shelter
Hidden in the dunes
And fall asleep amidst
Music of the moon
You and me, lesbian seagull
You just watch the world, oh my
Just you and me, lesbian seagull
Side by side with me till we die
You and I, we can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flying high until we die
Soaring over cliffs and gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice to sound her mating call
And soon a mate responds by singing "Caw, caw, caw"
Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's when you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak
She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight
Searching for some shells
Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're...you're with me
And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She looks at her as if to say
The day is done
It's time to find their shelter
Hidden in the dunes
And fall asleep amidst
Music of the moon
You and me, lesbian seagull
You just watch the world, oh my
Just you and me, lesbian seagull
Side by side with me till we die
You and I, we can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flying high until we die

@[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.
