@[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.
Do you remember when
everything was sacred
and nothing done
was ever wrong
but in the end my love
was not enough for you
I took it back to save myself
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
to find out all the reasons
as they wash up on the shore
I woke up to the world
and I could not remember
confusion climbs in to the core
but in the end my love
was proven not enough for you
I took it back to save myself
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
to find out all the reasons
as they wash up on the shore
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
She hides behind a smile that could
cost a man the world
everything was sacred
and nothing done
was ever wrong
but in the end my love
was not enough for you
I took it back to save myself
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
to find out all the reasons
as they wash up on the shore
I woke up to the world
and I could not remember
confusion climbs in to the core
but in the end my love
was proven not enough for you
I took it back to save myself
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
to find out all the reasons
as they wash up on the shore
When she begged for more
I should have closed the door
to hide behind the reasons
I could not afford to mend her broken heart
when she's gone for sure
I'll let the beauty pour
She hides behind a smile that could
cost a man the world

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.
