@[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.
The sounds float right by me,
they all have a place to go.
The sounds go around me,
they only way what they think they know.
Only for a minute
in each passing day,
do the sounds reach the leftout girl
and even then they say:
"Why do you wear such messed up clothes?"
"Why don't you help your hair?"
"Why don't you move to another town;
maybe you're more welcome there!"
The tears roll down her blemished face
her eyes turn red from white.
She tried to simply wipe them away;
she says she'll be alright.
As quickly as they came, the voices left,
leaving her behind.
They are looking for the leftout boy
to play the game that they call, "Crying."
they all have a place to go.
The sounds go around me,
they only way what they think they know.
Only for a minute
in each passing day,
do the sounds reach the leftout girl
and even then they say:
"Why do you wear such messed up clothes?"
"Why don't you help your hair?"
"Why don't you move to another town;
maybe you're more welcome there!"
The tears roll down her blemished face
her eyes turn red from white.
She tried to simply wipe them away;
she says she'll be alright.
As quickly as they came, the voices left,
leaving her behind.
They are looking for the leftout boy
to play the game that they call, "Crying."
