@[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.
Lord, when I'm broken (when I'm broken)
I'm in need (I'm in need)
I feel that ocean (feel that ocean)
Swallowing me (swallowing me)
Head is hanging (head is hanging)
So sorrowfully (so sorrowfully)
Oh Lord, come shine your light on me (shine your light on me)
On that morning (on that morning)
Scared and blue (scared and blue)
When I'm hungry (when I'm hungry)
Thirsty too (thirsty too)
Send this raindrop (send this raindrop)
Down to the sea (down to the sea)
Oh Lord, come shine your light on me (shine your light on me)
Oh, shine your light (oh, shine your light)
Oh, shine a light (oh, shine your light)
Then I know that in the darkness I'm alright (I'm alright)
See there's no sun rising, but inside I'm free
'Cause the Lord will shine a light for me (shine your light on me)
Oh, the Lord will shine a light on me (shine your light on me)
Sing it now (hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm)
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm
Hmm hmm
