This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think I've seen every star in the sky tonight
removed from the city lights
has never seemed so bright
I know I should't believe a word you say
I do anyway
cuz I'm dumb like that ohh,
and all the words I've given to you
when you smiled I thought that it meant
something else
you were just being yourself
being nice
you're always rather polite to me
You let me down again
You ignored the things I said to you
If I was scared of you then
maybe I could leave
And if I walked again right now
there would be nothing left for me to lose
by doubt
Never fell so far for anyone before
never again, I swore
and with you was the storm
make me feel like I've been torn apart
I don't like that at all
I lost control, ohhh
and all the words I've given to you
I poured my heart out into an empty coffee cup
you drank it up
left me here to drown
Alone
You let me down again
You ignore the things I said to you
If I was scared of you then maybe I could leave
but if I walked away right now
there would be nothing left for me to lose
but I can't lose you
I can't lose you
I think I've seen every star that I can see
but I don't wanna lose
It hurts when you are so deceived
I know I shouldn't believe a word you say
but I do anyway
cuz I'm dumb like that
And all the words I've given to you
when you smiled I thought that it meant
something else
you were just being yourslef
being nice
you're always rather polite to me
You let me down again
You ignored the things I've said to you
If I was scared of you then maybe I could leave
And if I walked away right now
there would be nothing left for me to lose
By doubt
By doubt
By doubt
There's nothing left for me to lose
There's nothing left for me to lose
for me to lose
by doubt
There's nothing left for me to lose
There's nothing left for me to lose
for me to lose
by doubt
There's nothing left for me to lose
There's nothing left for me to lose
for me to lose
by doubt

@[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.
