@[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.
Time burns, tide will it turn
Don't you burn yourself out artificial girl
Too bad the sun couldn't come
But you never get nothing done
Time turns you don't ever learn
'Cause your heartache keeps getting worse
My word it's a high red alert
In your own little empty world
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Burnin' out
Blind girl your life is a blur
Can't you see me walk out of your artificial world
Time flies you'll never get mine
Let it tick away baby you can't cross the line
Time turns you don't ever learn
'Cause your heartache keeps getting worse
My word it's a high red alert
In your own little empty world
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Lookin' out for love
Fireworks of desperation burnin' down
Don't you ever wonder why
You can't, you can't get it together
Don't you ever wonder why
You can't, you can't keep it together
Don't you ever wonder why
You lose yourself in someone else
You're losin' it over again
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Lookin' out for love
Fireworks of desperation
Lookin' for love, she comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' for love, spinnin' 'round and falling down
Burnin' out
Don't you burn yourself out artificial girl
Too bad the sun couldn't come
But you never get nothing done
Time turns you don't ever learn
'Cause your heartache keeps getting worse
My word it's a high red alert
In your own little empty world
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Burnin' out
Blind girl your life is a blur
Can't you see me walk out of your artificial world
Time flies you'll never get mine
Let it tick away baby you can't cross the line
Time turns you don't ever learn
'Cause your heartache keeps getting worse
My word it's a high red alert
In your own little empty world
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Lookin' out for love
Fireworks of desperation burnin' down
Don't you ever wonder why
You can't, you can't get it together
Don't you ever wonder why
You can't, you can't keep it together
Don't you ever wonder why
You lose yourself in someone else
You're losin' it over again
Lookin' out for love
She comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' out for love
Just can't make no conversation
Lookin' out for love
Fireworks of desperation
Lookin' for love, she comes down like a shooting star
Lookin' for love, spinnin' 'round and falling down
Burnin' out

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
my guess is that this is about a girl who is always looking for someone to love, and she seems to think that she can keep going from one love to the next over again. i think the reference to shooting star is saying that this person can be so much more but they will lose it all if they dont change
