@[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.
"Welcome to the fall"
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate
Welcome the end my friend, all the world's the stage
Welcome to the future, the world is black no turning
From the consequence of ignorance
Welcome to the fall
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall
Tension, delirium, growing everyday
Another suicide shocks the world again, I watch in apathy
Bleed until tomorrow, whosoever does not believe in me
Welcome to the fall
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall
Can I bring you down again, can I make you feel?
Can I lift you up into the dreaming trip surreal?
Can I taste the future shock, spit out all the games?
Do you know my name, do you know my number?
Cracking under strange constrictions, Mr. Ordinary Visionary
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate

Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall of one man's sanity
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
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.
the world's going down the drain ... and we all watch it like some bad reality tv show, even though it's going on right outside our windows.
\m/NEVERMORE\m/
I concur.
its not actually to do w/ the current state of the world at all
listen to the very very very end of the song RIGHT before it switches to track 3, hear that?:
"of one man's sanity"
the last line in the song before you hear the above is "welcome to the fall"
put 2 and 2 together:
"welcome to the fall of one man's sanity"
this entire song is about how his girlfriend dissapeared and it drove him to near insanity, look it up on google, this entire album is warrel-heavy (lyrics wise i mean)
thats why there was such a short delay between this album and dead heart in a dead world, most of the songs were written by loomis for Dead heart years before and they were going to release that album but decided to do a concept one instead b/c warrel dane needed to vent.
that pretty much sums it up
Kinda, but not exactly. Dreaming Neon Black is a concept album... This is the second track, right after the intro. It's about how Warell feels the world is fucked up after what happened (you all know the story...)
Bad-ass riff. \m/
DNB is a concept album, but i this song has its own leg to stand on. one meaning i get out of it is that sometimes things really do get so damaged that you can't turn them around. but even then you can sort of find a way to be amused..
This song is the part of the story of Dreaming Neon Black that describes the world that he lives in that describes the world that he is starting to go insane in (and partly because of).
