Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Oh no, here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on good things never last
Nothing's in the past
It always seems to come again
Again and again
Again and again, again
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out protect us of the realm
Captians at the helm
And sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and right
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloody angels fast descending
Moving on a never bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows shinning ever bright
Neon knights, neon knights, all right
Neon knights, neon knights
Neon knights, neon knights
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on good things never last
Nothing's in the past
It always seems to come again
Again and again
Again and again, again
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out protect us of the realm
Captians at the helm
And sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and right
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloody angels fast descending
Moving on a never bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows shinning ever bright
Neon knights, neon knights, all right
Neon knights, neon knights
Neon knights, neon knights

@[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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
