@[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.
Woke up this morning, it´s the same old thing: brother against brother, it´s a normal thing, goverment´s corrupt, I see the homeless on the streets, the rich get richer, the poor going hungry, no respect for human life, no respect for mother earth and you´re still asking me, why I ´m so bitter, so bitter and angry? This is me against the world, this is me against the hole wide world. I go to bed, it´s the same old thing: brother against brother, it´s a normal thing, goverment´s corrupt, I see the homeless on the streets, the rich get richer, the poor going hungry, no respect for human life, no respect for mother earth and you´re asking me, why I´m so bitter, so bitter and angry? This is me against the world, this is me against the hole wide world.

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.
My theme song!!!
This song is awesome. I think that it is about howcorrupt the world is today, and how we abuse Mother Earth and each other, and how sometimes it feels like you are the only one that sees things like this, and you feel like it is just you against the world, like you are the only one willing to try to change things for the better. It is a totally awesome song.
you got it right on Madcappunk, this song is pretty cool, my band are covering it so that's pretty cool.
so great i think its about Christianity veganism and how its rare and how no one has respect, love or logic for anything on earth they live in
