- Holiday LyricsHoliday, O, A Holiday!
And the best one of the year
Dozing off underneath my sheets
While I cover both my ears
But if I wait for a holiday could it ever stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
Holiday, still so far away
Our republic on the beach
I can’t forget just how bad it gets
When I’m counting on my teeth
But if I wait for a holiday
Could it stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day
Never seemed so clear
A vegetarian since the invasion
She’d never seen the word BOMBS
She’d never seen the word BOMBS blown up
To 96 point Futura
She’d never seen an AK
In a yellowy Day Glo display
A t-shirt so lovely it turned all the history books grey
I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
And a healthy sense of worth
Half of me is the gasoline
But the other half’s the surf
So if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
And the best one of the year
Dozing off underneath my sheets
While I cover both my ears
But if I wait for a holiday could it ever stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
Holiday, still so far away
Our republic on the beach
I can’t forget just how bad it gets
When I’m counting on my teeth
But if I wait for a holiday
Could it stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day
Never seemed so clear
A vegetarian since the invasion
She’d never seen the word BOMBS blown up
To 96 point Futura
She’d never seen an AK
In a yellowy Day Glo display
A t-shirt so lovely it turned all the history books grey
I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
And a healthy sense of worth
Half of me is the gasoline
But the other half’s the surf
So if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Vampire Weekend's 'Holiday' metaphorically wanders the path of a summer getaway for the fear of the world and the chaos of society, thus portraying a contrast between the sweetness of childhood and the bitterness of life. Mainly, Holiday lyrics shine social commentary and personal reflection, as well as angst, despair, and freedom. However, the same period of the song insists on the necessity of escape and desire, fear and nervousness, the effect of war and bloodshed as well as duality and strife. The lyrics are imbued with references to fear and violence (e.g., 'word BOMBS', 'AK'), etc., and therefore, reveal the use of mature imagery that might not be appropriate for very young children. The overall tone and content are closest to that of a PG-13 rating.

This song sucks and I want it out of my head. I hate Honda for using it over and over again. It is a senseless lyric. Go away@

This song reminds of a sweet Italian Sausage..from beginning to end its briney, but oh so cotton candy.

Why do some people come to a page and say mean things about a song? All it does is offend people and stir up trouble. This song is beautifully written.
