@[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.
Daddy's little girl
I was Mama's second chance to do it all again
Get out on the floor and dance
A sister to a brother
A mother to a son
This world is full of people
Seems I've been every single one
Time leads us down a winding road
Searching for the truth behind the hope
I'm tired of pretending that I'm not broken
Give me strength to be me again
Smile for the camera
Curtsy to the crowd
Think of giving up and never live it down
They love you how you are
Just change a couple things
Like the center of your soul
And everything that you believe
Time leads us down a winding road
Searching for the truth behind the hope
I'm tired of pretending that we're not broken
Give us strength to be real again
Thirsty for belonging
Hungry for a chance
Desperate for a meaning
Look for truth in every circumstance
Leaving resentment
I'm not bitter from my wounds
Looking to tomorrow
We give it all to you
I was Mama's second chance to do it all again
Get out on the floor and dance
A sister to a brother
A mother to a son
This world is full of people
Seems I've been every single one
Time leads us down a winding road
Searching for the truth behind the hope
I'm tired of pretending that I'm not broken
Give me strength to be me again
Smile for the camera
Curtsy to the crowd
Think of giving up and never live it down
They love you how you are
Just change a couple things
Like the center of your soul
And everything that you believe
Time leads us down a winding road
Searching for the truth behind the hope
I'm tired of pretending that we're not broken
Give us strength to be real again
Thirsty for belonging
Hungry for a chance
Desperate for a meaning
Look for truth in every circumstance
Leaving resentment
I'm not bitter from my wounds
Looking to tomorrow
We give it all to you

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.
