@[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.
Dark'ning sky, the senses tremble
Song of Thor's resounding rumble
Nature holds her breath in waiting
Calmly all anticipating
Flee in haste or wait her coming
Taste the sweetness of her fruit
Salient fingers start their drumming
Thrill now heaven's power's made loose
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin
Deepening, speeding rivers racing
Groaning roots to ground are bracing
Her magick is the power of change
She leaves no single thing the same
Wing and rain and lightning change me
Work your spell to rearrange
Swell the rivers, drain my ego
Bend the trees and strengthen will
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin
Song of Thor's resounding rumble
Nature holds her breath in waiting
Calmly all anticipating
Flee in haste or wait her coming
Taste the sweetness of her fruit
Salient fingers start their drumming
Thrill now heaven's power's made loose
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin
Deepening, speeding rivers racing
Groaning roots to ground are bracing
Her magick is the power of change
She leaves no single thing the same
Wing and rain and lightning change me
Work your spell to rearrange
Swell the rivers, drain my ego
Bend the trees and strengthen will
Wash me, soothe me, come cleanse my mind of mundane things
Awaken the senses, electrify my nerves and skin

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.
Sacredness of the earth, cleansing of the rain
