@[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.
There's red in my eyes and I'm charging ahead
There's poison in my veins. I don't care what she said
I'll do what I like. I'm young and I'm free
I'm gonna do it all aimlessly
Oh I won't look back into the sun
Scared to see the damage I've done
I'll beg, steal and borrow. I'm going to war
It's easy for me I've sacrificed before
No one's gonna give it to you on a plate
Got to take your chance before it's too late
Cause I can be cruel behind this smile
Find it all so easy to lie
You gotta make your move now
Make your move now
There is something that I need to say
Kept it all locked up and it's making me ill
I was scared, I would drive you away
From now on you live by your own book
You've read them all and you've seen enough
You're sick and tired of doing the best that you can
Seems the winners in love just treat you bad
So tell me what happens behind your eyes
Does she hurt like I am?
There's poison in my veins. I don't care what she said
I'll do what I like. I'm young and I'm free
I'm gonna do it all aimlessly
Oh I won't look back into the sun
Scared to see the damage I've done
I'll beg, steal and borrow. I'm going to war
It's easy for me I've sacrificed before
No one's gonna give it to you on a plate
Got to take your chance before it's too late
Cause I can be cruel behind this smile
Find it all so easy to lie
You gotta make your move now
Make your move now
There is something that I need to say
Kept it all locked up and it's making me ill
I was scared, I would drive you away
From now on you live by your own book
You've read them all and you've seen enough
You're sick and tired of doing the best that you can
Seems the winners in love just treat you bad
So tell me what happens behind your eyes
Does she hurt like I am?
