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”
you live your life like
love's on ration
but where's the passion
how do i discover love
empty vessels make so much noise
i'm paranoid
how do i discover love
love love love love love love
how do i discover love
i'm a missionary
a bush-eyed bum
even though i stay at home
a visionary
blind as a bat
and that's a fact
how do i discover love
love love love love love love
how do i discover love
what can i say
what can i do
how can i live
without you?
what can i write
what can i sing
how can fight?
without you?
maybe i'll meet her
behind the speaker
i'll shout eureka!
how do i discover love
i dragged my heartache
through the gutter
my heart all a-flutter
how do i discover love
how do i discover love
what can i say
what can i do
how can i live
without you?
what can i write
what can i sing
how can fight?
without you?
love crept in the side door
i heard it all along
so where did i go wrong
how did i discover love?
i kept my house in order
and moved into my own backyard
that's when i discovered
love love love love love
what can i say
what can i do
how can i live
without you?
what can i write
what can i sing
how can fight?
without you?
what can i say
what can i do
how can i live
without you?
what can i write
what can i sing
how can fight?
without you?
love's on ration
but where's the passion
how do i discover love

i'm paranoid
how do i discover love

a bush-eyed bum
even though i stay at home
a visionary

@[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.
