@[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.
Feel the sun in my eyes
Swat that clumsy fly
Woke me up from a dream about heaven
I’m smellin’ coffee downstairs
Yawn a quick little prayer
And get up at a quarter to seven
The mirror catches my stare
Got some nice pillow hair
And I smile all the way to the bathroom
Scratch my whiskery chin
Now my cranium swims
With questions I can’t wait to ask You
Like, why did You bother with so many stars?
Do You ever play tricks on the angels?
And what happened to all those dinosaurs?
Where’s the Garden of Eden?
And what causes deja vu?
I guess in heaven I’ll learn
I’ll be waiting my turn
To ask about quasars and feathers
I hope the line isn’t long
I hope Your patience is strong
It’s a good thing forever’s forever!
Do our jokes make You laugh? What’s Your favorite cartoon?
Can You tell me what’s out past the edges?
And what about UFO’s, taste buds and tornados?
Why do we dream?
Oh, and what causes deja vu?
Time to call it a day
Time to turn off my brain
It’s already half past eleven
I reach to turn out the light
Close my sleepy eyes
I’ll save all the questions for heaven
I’ll save all the questions for heaven
I’m saving up questions for heaven
Swat that clumsy fly
Woke me up from a dream about heaven
I’m smellin’ coffee downstairs
Yawn a quick little prayer
And get up at a quarter to seven
The mirror catches my stare
Got some nice pillow hair
And I smile all the way to the bathroom
Scratch my whiskery chin
Now my cranium swims
With questions I can’t wait to ask You
Like, why did You bother with so many stars?
Do You ever play tricks on the angels?
And what happened to all those dinosaurs?
Where’s the Garden of Eden?
And what causes deja vu?
I guess in heaven I’ll learn
I’ll be waiting my turn
To ask about quasars and feathers
I hope the line isn’t long
I hope Your patience is strong
It’s a good thing forever’s forever!
Do our jokes make You laugh? What’s Your favorite cartoon?
Can You tell me what’s out past the edges?
And what about UFO’s, taste buds and tornados?

Oh, and what causes deja vu?
Time to call it a day
Time to turn off my brain
It’s already half past eleven
I reach to turn out the light
Close my sleepy eyes
I’ll save all the questions for heaven
I’ll save all the questions for heaven
I’m saving up questions for heaven

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.
