@[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.
we will take you for a ride
beyond the boundaries of comprehension
twisting and molding your mind
you can bet that this will be intense
and i can't really tell you what to expect
expect the unexpected and don't forget to open your mind
i'm not the one to tell you to keep your life in check
take off the blindfold thats been placed to protect you from their design
open your eyes mind and expand
when thoughts are beyond comprehension (whoa oh)
mind over matter works when planned
to channel out all your agressions (whoa oh)
and you yell out my name from the darkest part of your mind
but what you don't know is no one can hear you
screaming out for help as you drift further away (further away)
your eyes illuminate the darkest part of space
i know it's hard to understand
when thoughts are beyond comprehension (whoa oh)
it took a little convincing
but you know i have good intentions (whoa oh)
we're better off knowing the truth
not being part of misled youth
involved in misconceptions full of
deceiving facts and false idols
submissive ways to take control
control of how you think and feel
i'm not one to put down your faith
but saying have faith in yourself
know that the truth lies within us all
and when you finally understand
you'll figure it out that no one can
no one can make us fall
no one can make us fall
and i expect that you will understand
the words i'm spitting out of my mouth
there're just so many things that i'd like to say
to the ones in charge
like i deny to do what i am told
to follow all your rules
to walk in a straight line
to let someone choose the things that i decide
we're better off knowing the truth
not being part of misled youth
involved in misconceptions full of
deceiving facts and false idols
submissive ways to take control
control of how you think and feel
i'm not one to put down your faith
but saying have faith in your self
know that the truth lies within us all
and when you finally understand
you'll figure it out that no one can
no one can make us fall
no one can make us fall

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
