@[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.
What a babe
So gracefully she patterns sliding footsteps across the floor
Moves to the rhythm “body moves” I cannot ask for more
She's subtle and underlines, her breaking away from the pack
Bold look into her eyes, she never answers where she's at
My temptation lingers on, no question can't decide “if you're the one for me”
Can I afford to let her go (slip's a slide!)
Uh beauty, knocks me out. My soul “girl” rocks and spins me 'round
Her beauty, knocks me out. My whole world stops and spins me 'round
And around and around and around
Spins me 'round
Just when I had enough, can't calm myself, can't settle down
I look around and about, she's nowhere near and can't be found
But then patterned gracefully, her sliding footsteps across the floor
Move to the rhythm “body moves” they got me wanting more
Cold look into her eyes, there's passion underlined (you're the one for me)
Her reflections drowned and well defined
Uh beauty, knocks me out. My soul “girl” rocks and spins me 'round
Her beauty, knocks me out. My whole world stops and spins me 'round
And around and around and around
Spins me 'round
There's this something about her that's got me in sweet sweat from over-heating
She keeps my temperature on the rise not mentioning my...
Uh beauty, knocks me out. My soul “girl” rocks and spins me 'round
Her beauty, knocks me out. My whole world stops and spins me 'round
And around and around and around
Spins me 'round
Knocks me out
Uh beauty

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.
