@[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.
[Verse 1]
You can't create more time, you just make it
If you want a new life, just take it
And if you wanna change the world then speak real clear
And make sure someone's listening, listening
And if you wanna break my heart then stay right here
Yeah, don't go anywhere
[Chorus]
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
[Post-Chorus 1]
Everything comes in pieces
[Verse 2]
Do you love me yet? Fucking prove it
Try to ask yourself; are you really different?
Know that your life is more frightening than writing a song
It's an action of fractions you're passing along
And these oceans of emotion will crash once they hit the shore, I promise you
And it's the closest I will get to sincerity
The praise I make just looks so fake and cruel to me
And it's the closest I will come to purity
Simulations never follow me
[Chorus]
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
[Post-Chorus 2]
My heart is made up of pieces
[Verse 3]
Do you get it yet? Can you see through this?
You know all too well you cannot make things perfect
No, I'll be shifting through lists of these possible loves
With this pain in my brain it feels scattered like doves
Through this sky where my eyes have been drifting towards recently
And it's the closest I can be to egocentricity
This overwhelming sense of rejection will sneak up behind and tear at me
And it'll slam me to the ground into reality
And I'll deal with my disparity
[Chorus]
Oh, do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Why don't you love me now?
Why don't you love me now?
[Outro]
This is where I fall down, shattered on the floor
As I'm swept along with a million pieces more
Of myself I once learned to lose
Though it never helped me forget
The truth, the truth, oh, the truth, the truth...
This is where I fall down, shattered on the floor
As I'm swept along with a million pieces more
Of myself I once learned to lose
Though it never helped me forget
The truth, the truth, oh, the truth, the truth
You can't create more time, you just make it
If you want a new life, just take it
And if you wanna change the world then speak real clear
And make sure someone's listening, listening
And if you wanna break my heart then stay right here
Yeah, don't go anywhere
[Chorus]
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
[Post-Chorus 1]
Everything comes in pieces
[Verse 2]
Do you love me yet? Fucking prove it
Try to ask yourself; are you really different?
Know that your life is more frightening than writing a song
It's an action of fractions you're passing along
And these oceans of emotion will crash once they hit the shore, I promise you
And it's the closest I will get to sincerity
The praise I make just looks so fake and cruel to me
And it's the closest I will come to purity
Simulations never follow me
[Chorus]
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
[Post-Chorus 2]
My heart is made up of pieces

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.
