@[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.
I've been transformed in my sleep
Thrown into next week
I've got something I can't keep
Woke up with a shorter reach
Walking through a concussion
And the dosage that's left of you
Throw away it's a toss up
Dropped outta the contest to throw up
Heard you dropped my name
Heard you dropped it all the time
Time
Time
Time
You smile goes around your head
Like you can see from behind
You're always hanging one step behind
It's numbing the things you don't say
Throw away it's a toss up
Dropped outta the contest to throw up
Heard you dropped my name
Heard you drop them all the time
Your smile goes around your head
So you don't have to move to show off your good side
That wasn't so hard to swallow
Went down easy as a capsule
Went down easy as a candle
As soon as you got a new angle
This town just gets smaller
And all my friends have new names
Like Tylenol
Demerol
Anacin
Excedrin
