@[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.
Because you are
I've got the tremor to stay because you are
I scar the stranger, betrayed
All of my senses ashamed
I will deny all that i am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are
I chew the rust off my face because you are
I wipe the stain off my haze because you are
I am released, born of age because you are
I stare inside empty faith
I will deny all that I am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames because you are
Because you are because you are
By choosing because you are
Because you are rinse the scars off my skin
Because you are
I touch the scars of your skin
Because you are i let the travel begin
Because you are i let the travel begin
Because you are i let the travel begin
I've got the tremor to stay because you are
I scar the stranger, betrayed
All of my senses ashamed
I will deny all that i am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames
Because you are
I chew the rust off my face because you are
I wipe the stain off my haze because you are
I am released, born of age because you are
I stare inside empty faith
I will deny all that I am afraid
Lies will disguise
Rules of time and endgames because you are
Because you are because you are
By choosing because you are
Because you are rinse the scars off my skin
Because you are
I touch the scars of your skin
Because you are i let the travel begin
Because you are i let the travel begin
Because you are i let the travel begin

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,

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.
Pretty sure some of the lyrics here are wrong. That being said, I don't have sound right now and can't listen to the song to decipher. I think it's essentially almost a love song - I will do anything for you, even painful or impossible things (as mentioned in the song) - but some of the lyrics and the music itself makes it seem more like an unhealthy relationship or perhaps an obsession and not a real relationship at all. It's definitely a "dark" song.
One line I specifically remember him saying is "I will deny all that I ever praised" and not "I will deny all that I'm afraid". SPFC has the same one as here, so maybe I'm wrong... but that's what it sounded like to me.
