@[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.
Wake up everyone! It's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts,
So stop giving up our last shot at love,
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honor and are shocked to
Find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Men without chests are making a comeback
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Reason abandoned to appetites and addicts arms
Shotguns and silence have always been the best of charms
Wake up everyone! it's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts
So stop giving up our last shot at love
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honor and are shocked to
Find knives in our backs
We champion those who cheat and steal
Men without chests are making a comeback
Our only compass smashed under our own heels, under our iron will
The abolition of man is within the reach of science
But are we so far gone that we'll try it?
To save the remnants of our hearts,
So stop giving up our last shot at love,
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honor and are shocked to
Find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Men without chests are making a comeback
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Reason abandoned to appetites and addicts arms
Shotguns and silence have always been the best of charms
Wake up everyone! it's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts
So stop giving up our last shot at love
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honor and are shocked to
Find knives in our backs
We champion those who cheat and steal
Men without chests are making a comeback
Our only compass smashed under our own heels, under our iron will
The abolition of man is within the reach of science
But are we so far gone that we'll try it?

Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
I love Thrice's lyrics. They are so potent and powerful, and this song is one of the best. Love the C.S. Lewis references too -- as DaVinci said, this song is based on one of Lewis' books. The song name "(That) Hideous Strength" is from the title of another one of his books.
