@[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.
Everything you see you always think you need
You are so crazy motivated by greed
You never take responsibility
You only waste your time when you fuck with me
All you do is take you see my hatred grows
Can't take much more I'm about to explode
You'll see a side Of me I've never shown
You'll feel pain like you've never known
Got enough but you want it all
In it for greed now you're gonna fall
Here we come gonna ruin your day
Time has come It's your turn to pay
The mighty dollar is your only care
You're movin' up but you're going nowhere
You say you only want to get your share
But you still want more no you won't play fair
You'll never ever quit you won't be denied
You sit and watch your money multiply
To get what you want you'll cheat and lie
But I know - you won't be satisfied
Today is a good day for suffering
You are so crazy motivated by greed
You never take responsibility
You only waste your time when you fuck with me
All you do is take you see my hatred grows
Can't take much more I'm about to explode
You'll see a side Of me I've never shown
You'll feel pain like you've never known
Got enough but you want it all
In it for greed now you're gonna fall
Here we come gonna ruin your day
Time has come It's your turn to pay
The mighty dollar is your only care
You're movin' up but you're going nowhere
You say you only want to get your share
But you still want more no you won't play fair
You'll never ever quit you won't be denied
You sit and watch your money multiply
To get what you want you'll cheat and lie
But I know - you won't be satisfied
Today is a good day for suffering

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.
Gentle Hour

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
How people is driven by the almighty dollar. There is only one purpose in life, and that is to make a dollar, and expand those dollars.
When one person makes all that money, the rest of people lose, subjecting them to poverty and hardship
Its a critical view of those who are greedy in the banking and governmental systems of the world, and how his anger will bring them down for all the misery they created
