@[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.
"If every star fell out of the sky tonight, every wish I'd make would take me closer to you." Well I'm starring at an empty sky on a lonely night, and from the looks of it every star is gone, and so are you.

Open up my chest and you will find, dust and moths, floating through an empty hall. Slowly scavenging through the debris scattered inside, only to realize, there's no heart left at all.
I never thought that my lips would speak, or even that my mind would think of the day I couldn't lay my head down at night, and not see you staring back at me. But even after the storm has come and gone, life will surely, sadly move on. It just hurts knowing that I'll have to be the one to say, you're exactly what I hope I'll never be... you're exactly what I hope I'll never be.
We all know it's times like these that truly test the soul, to go from standing tall, to crawling so very low. It's like being trapped underwater with no air to breathe, starring up at this blurry world, starring right back down on me.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
