@[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.
Pick the clothes from the floor and take the trash out
Please don't dwell on what you know is in store
Wipe the kitchen counter dry, and most important, keep your hands and fingers occupied
On the days when faith is low and loneliness is creeping, I'm aware that I can go at any time
Run the fibers through your hair, spend all of your money
New diversions don't suffice, but they can try
For a month, I couldn't help but notice I was happy
For a month, I didn't care that you had gone
Month-long vacation from leftover parties, now all our lives are on pause
Back to the problems that I had forgotten, back to the way it was
Coming home to old-school friendships changes the dynamic
Boyfriends and new schedules leave no time for me
Sad to say, it looks like the end of an era
Always starting over with a brand new scene
Please don't dwell on what you know is in store
Wipe the kitchen counter dry, and most important, keep your hands and fingers occupied
On the days when faith is low and loneliness is creeping, I'm aware that I can go at any time
Run the fibers through your hair, spend all of your money
New diversions don't suffice, but they can try
For a month, I couldn't help but notice I was happy
For a month, I didn't care that you had gone
Month-long vacation from leftover parties, now all our lives are on pause
Back to the problems that I had forgotten, back to the way it was
Coming home to old-school friendships changes the dynamic
Boyfriends and new schedules leave no time for me
Sad to say, it looks like the end of an era
Always starting over with a brand new scene

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.
