@[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.
Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumbledown people
Leading our tumbledon lives
But a breath of life
Could make our engines roar
We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
Broken, bound, and battered
Freezing on picket lines
A colder frost can shatter
And chain us for all our lives
But a breath of life
Can make our engines roar
We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
They spin our world from cruel to kind
And make our futures a downward slide
The strong get strong, and still want more
But day by day giants thaw
Tomorrow must be calling with a open door
There's no-one left to start our revolution anymore
We need some flames to burn down every door
We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumbledown people
Leading our tumbledon lives
But a breath of life
Could make our engines roar
We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
Broken, bound, and battered
Freezing on picket lines
A colder frost can shatter
And chain us for all our lives
But a breath of life
Can make our engines roar
We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
They spin our world from cruel to kind
And make our futures a downward slide
The strong get strong, and still want more
But day by day giants thaw
Tomorrow must be calling with a open door
There's no-one left to start our revolution anymore
We need some flames to burn down every door
We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants

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.
