@[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.
Yeah, yeah, unh
Most of the time
You'd be tripping on me
All of a sudden you want to be the police
Looking me up and down before I leave home
Making a big deal out of what I got on
But hey you need to know
You need to know
I'm still the woman you got with
And I know my place
I think you know
These things were never affecting
Now, you hate
Because you know
You're not the only one who's checking for me
But that's the way it goes
In this relationship so why (?)
You better know I'm not going to be
Rearranging everything in my world
Not going to feel bad
Pretending they were my girls
They already know that I ain't going nowhere
You want to believe to putting me out there
At night,(you need to know) you know
I'm still the woman the woman you got waiting at your place
I'm still the very same woman
I'm still the woman you got with
And I know my place
I think you know
These things were never affecting
Now you, hate
Because you know
You're not the only one who's checking for me
But that's the way it goes
In this relationship so why (?)
(Repeat 2X)
I don't mean no disrespect
But um, I was the same way when met me
And um, I'm not gonna need your shit
But um
You need to know
I'm still the woman you got with
And I know my place
I think you know
These things were never affecting
Now, you hate
Because you know
You're not the only one who's checking for me
But that's the way it goes
In this relationship so why (?)
You need to know
I'm still the woman you got with
And I know my place...
Most of the time

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
