@[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.
The biggest mistake was to let you near me
I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me
Close to the touch but aeons away
On a distant planet on another day
I thought we were even I hoped it was cool
Your guilty pleasures made you a fool
I extended it all but you turned it to dreck
You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back
I shall not be terrorized
You will pay for all those lies
And every day's a good day to die
Fucka, fucka, die, muthafucka, bye-bye
A spewing volcano of distortion and hate
You plead and beg me to spare your fate
You evoke our friendship and the days of old
But I know a dish that's best served cold
The gleaming blade a muffled cry
You won't live to testify
I gave you it all
I let you perform
You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm
In the coldest blood steady-handed
I take no prisoners the eagle has landed
Idiot!
I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me
Close to the touch but aeons away
On a distant planet on another day
I thought we were even I hoped it was cool
Your guilty pleasures made you a fool
I extended it all but you turned it to dreck
You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back
I shall not be terrorized
You will pay for all those lies
And every day's a good day to die
Fucka, fucka, die, muthafucka, bye-bye
A spewing volcano of distortion and hate
You plead and beg me to spare your fate
You evoke our friendship and the days of old
But I know a dish that's best served cold
The gleaming blade a muffled cry
You won't live to testify
I gave you it all
I let you perform
You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm
In the coldest blood steady-handed
I take no prisoners the eagle has landed
Idiot!

kmfdm's rife with double meanings, and i think this song is a great plain 'anyone can relate' revenge track, but there's a very transparent second meaning to it - to me at least.
when kmfdm initially split (the "Adios" album) some members left to form a band named "Slick Idiot" and the split was acrimonious to say the least. i think the subtle reference to the personal meaning of this song is made plain by the repeating 'idiot' during the outro, and Slick Idiot's riding 'such and such of kmfdm!' to gain an audience.
but, i'm just guessin'
