@[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.
Yo Yo Yo, Yo, Yo Yo What
Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
Damn, I really wish I could find my sack man
Must have got eaten by Pac-Man
If I had it I could smoke again
Smoke with my friends to the very end
But now I'm trying to comprehend
When's the next time that I'll smoke again
I need to know, please tell when will we smoke again
I got a buddy, his name is Ted
He's got a problem going through his head
He doesn't know how to puff puff give
But I like so I'll teach him and I'll let him live
Everyday we teach him right
When he defies, we have to fight
But at the end of the trying day
We says it's ok and we puff away
Just the other night, I saw you, you were smokin not sharing and being tight
But that's ok, you are my friend, we'll smoking until the very end
The lessons that we put out, we order you to try it out
It's nice to smoke, yea that's what we're all about
Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again

Hey, Ho, Hey Ho, Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho
I smoke, you smoke, we smoke, they smoke, smoking everywhere
I smoke, you smoke, we smoke, they smoke, smoking all together
Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song sums up what its like to be an adolescence just chillin smokin' with your buddies. Sure its not smiled upon and people stereotype as they wish, but thats just the way it is.
