@[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.
I built these walls with blinders on my eyes
Brick by brick and now I realize
That I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out I reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Why do I do this to myself
There is really no one else to blame
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I take my falls, hands pulled behind my back
You made the knot and didn't leave much slack
Now I'm tied up I'm tied down
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and break my will
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I'm shut out, I'm shut in
And every time is try to reach out reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone
You'll never be too far gone,
You'll never be too far gone to be saved.
Brick by brick and now I realize
That I'm shut out I'm shut in
And every time I try to reach out I reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Why do I do this to myself
There is really no one else to blame
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I take my falls, hands pulled behind my back
You made the knot and didn't leave much slack
Now I'm tied up I'm tied down
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and break my will
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
Or am I just too far gone to be saved?
I'm shut out, I'm shut in
And every time is try to reach out reach in
I break my fingers on the bricks
Now every time I try to fly up I fly down
Into the sea and hold my breath
I am a mirrored rumble fish
Life is so clenching for the kill
[Chorus]
So could you reach down and pull me out
Or am I just too far gone
You'll never be too far gone,
You'll never be too far gone to be saved.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think it's building your own emotional wall and she's wondering if there's anyone that can break it
It's about the uncertainity of fear of losing salvation. Fear of locking ourselves inside our own ivory tower. But with God, nothing is impossible, and You shouldn't worry about losing Your salvation. Jesus is always there to give a helping hand.
