This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This is my good eye
Do you hear a cow?
A rooster says
Here is a pig
The devil says
Painted blue across my eyes
Tied the linen on
And I'm on my way, on my way
Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side, on my side
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky, is it to the sky, now
Searching for the ground with my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride, would you take it wrong?
Or would you make it right, make it right?
Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on
And be on my way, on my way
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky, is it to the sky now
Searching for a ground with my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can, I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time if I'm hiding or I'm lost
But, but I'm on my way, on my way
(Is it to the sky?)
(Is it to the sky?)
(Is it to the sky?
(Is it to the sky?)
(And I'm on my way) is it to the sky?
(On my way) to the sky
(On my way) to the sky
(I'm on my way) to the sky
I'm on my way
On my way
To the sky
To the sky
On my way
On my way
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Do you hear a cow?
A rooster says
Here is a pig
The devil says
Painted blue across my eyes
Tied the linen on
And I'm on my way, on my way
Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side, on my side
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky, is it to the sky, now
Searching for the ground with my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride, would you take it wrong?
Or would you make it right, make it right?
Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on
And be on my way, on my way
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky, is it to the sky now
Searching for a ground with my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can, I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time if I'm hiding or I'm lost
But, but I'm on my way, on my way
(Is it to the sky?)
(Is it to the sky?)
(Is it to the sky?
(Is it to the sky?)
(And I'm on my way) is it to the sky?
(On my way) to the sky
(On my way) to the sky
(I'm on my way) to the sky
I'm on my way
On my way
To the sky
To the sky
On my way
On my way
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I believe the song is about how we are taught to perceive and comprehend the world around us apart from our instincts and how those instincts are confused based on social indoctrination. From the most mundane and basic things as children, to that which paints a "comprehensive" understanding concerning human nature's deep seated fear of death. We are taught about those who mythically command the forces beyond our sense of reason. Whereby we are introduced, via what we are taught, to supernatural allies that have the ability to thwart those nasty forces beyond reason at death's door. It seems to be about the inevitability of death and how our ego comforts itself knowing what's coming up at the end of the road. I think death is the destination that Cornell refers to as being "on my way" to.
