@[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.
To many lies breeds to many flies
It's evolution through confusion
Hate is never without reason
Love is never without treason
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
"Godly" parasites in massive invasion
Deformed creation... Unnatural Invention
Procreate, then desecrate - Inseminate, then devastate
No hope for humanity...It's a planet of apes
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Nothing new ever came out of someone like you
Don't deceive yourself thinking that you know what to do
What will you do when all your toys are broken
What will you say when all your lines are spoken
No hope for humanity.... it's a planet of apes
Gently violated and desecrated
The quintessential art of self-destruction
You left behind the will to believe in nothing
You are never going to be what you want to be
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
It's evolution through confusion
Hate is never without reason
Love is never without treason
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
"Godly" parasites in massive invasion
Deformed creation... Unnatural Invention
Procreate, then desecrate - Inseminate, then devastate
No hope for humanity...It's a planet of apes
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Nothing new ever came out of someone like you
Don't deceive yourself thinking that you know what to do
What will you do when all your toys are broken
What will you say when all your lines are spoken
No hope for humanity.... it's a planet of apes
Gently violated and desecrated
The quintessential art of self-destruction
You left behind the will to believe in nothing
You are never going to be what you want to be
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey 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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
