@[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.
And my mind was confusion
Like thoughts of clouds in the sky
Wanted to touch the water
So Ii could feel that high
That day was so full of bliss
I feared the coming of night
And I had to feel my tears
As they burned my eyes so alive
Take my mind out
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
It seemed to kill these tears
And her mind is confusion
The dots that eat the blue sky
They never understand me
And never have even tried
I just wanted to be lost
So I could see what's inside
Nothing to say to you people
You remain so fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And It's confusion
Black and blue skies
One day I will be
One day I will be
One day I will be
Clear!
One day I will be clear!
So when mind's clear from confusion
Like a blue cloudless sky
There'll be nothing to say to you people
You're forever fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
Dark and blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And it's confusion
Black and blue skies
Like thoughts of clouds in the sky
Wanted to touch the water
So Ii could feel that high
That day was so full of bliss
I feared the coming of night
And I had to feel my tears
As they burned my eyes so alive
Take my mind out
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
It seemed to kill these tears
And her mind is confusion
The dots that eat the blue sky
They never understand me
And never have even tried
I just wanted to be lost
So I could see what's inside
Nothing to say to you people
You remain so fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And It's confusion
Black and blue skies
One day I will be
One day I will be
One day I will be
Clear!
One day I will be clear!
So when mind's clear from confusion
Like a blue cloudless sky
There'll be nothing to say to you people
You're forever fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
Dark and blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And it's confusion
Black and blue skies

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm not really sure, but I think it's about how in a relationship and friendship with someone, they believe he always thinks wrong and that he never thinks right. He says "Take my mind now, So I can be clear" where if you take his opinion away, there is no right, there is no wrong: There is nothing, so it is clear. That's how I interpret it, and it's a cool song.
