@[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.
She was the dawn of a new day
The crystal voice inside my head
And at times she showed me Eden
Untrodden paths, a sky that's bleeding
Serpent's embrace
Serpent's embrace
Darkness waiting in her eyes, her gaze
Kissed by a fraudulent snake
A soul eater, serpent's embrace
Serpents embrace
She was the dawn of a new day
But all it brought was pure dismay
The sky and sun turned black
Nailed black as ebony
And there was no turning back
No turning back
A golden sun in past times, floating high above
Looking back from now, a collection of strange days, for love
And at time I realized
Everything must surely end, some day
Darkness waiting in her eyes
Darkness waiting in her gaze
She gave birth to a worm of lies
A place of shadows mourn
A soul eater, serpent's embrace
Every dawn of a new day
Too far away, but death in cheap
There's a giant, black sun below
Maybe just below the ground, about six feet deep
Beneath the undertow
Beneath the undertow
The crystal voice inside my head
And at times she showed me Eden
Untrodden paths, a sky that's bleeding
Serpent's embrace
Serpent's embrace
Darkness waiting in her eyes, her gaze
Kissed by a fraudulent snake
A soul eater, serpent's embrace
Serpents embrace
She was the dawn of a new day
But all it brought was pure dismay
The sky and sun turned black
Nailed black as ebony
And there was no turning back
No turning back
A golden sun in past times, floating high above
Looking back from now, a collection of strange days, for love
And at time I realized
Everything must surely end, some day
Darkness waiting in her eyes
Darkness waiting in her gaze
She gave birth to a worm of lies
A place of shadows mourn
A soul eater, serpent's embrace
Every dawn of a new day
Too far away, but death in cheap
There's a giant, black sun below
Maybe just below the ground, about six feet deep
Beneath the undertow
Beneath the undertow

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.
