@[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.
Divide and conquer
Show no mercy
Defile the honor
Sow discord amongst them all
Crucify my faith
We'll set the stage for the last play
You will not hurt our pride nor break its strength
Stirring up to hate
You'll fail to practice what you preach
Wake the force as we
Won't let you crucify our ways
Abomination
Will enrage them
Manipulation
Is effective after all
Justify yourself
We cannot speak above our breath
I read between these vast adorned lines
Justify your acts
The credulous will be our guests
Wake the force as we
Won't let you crush our self-respect
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe for life
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We're searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind
There's no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That's all we have achieved
Divide and conquer
Spread disease amongst them all
Desecrate yourself
Yet our duty will prevail
You will not penetrate through massive shields
Desecrate yourself
We will harvest all we've sowed
Wake the force as we
Won't let you steal our own integrity
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe with lies
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We're searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind
There's no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That's all we have achieved
Bleed from greed
We'll succeed in our aim
Force the spirit to its knees
Dominate humanity
Hold yourself accountable
For the mess around us all
Running blindly for the fall
We are all responsible
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We're searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind
There's no one you will find
On this quest without an end, eternally
Hate and fear prevented us to reach
What we truly are
Nothing really is as it appears
That's all we need to be
Abomination
Will arrange them manipulation
Is effective
Don't me merciful
Seize them all
Show no mercy
Defile the honor
Sow discord amongst them all
Crucify my faith
We'll set the stage for the last play
You will not hurt our pride nor break its strength
Stirring up to hate
You'll fail to practice what you preach
Wake the force as we
Won't let you crucify our ways

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
Mark: “It deals with what’s really going on in the Middle East. The media only give us one side of the story, but when you dig deeper, you find layers of truth about natural resources, like oil, that are influencing the region. The media report on how the new political regime has brought democracy to the region but maybe the inhabitants were better off before. What the West are really delivering is mainly destruction. They’re making people fight each other and when the West conquers, the big companies come in and make money.”
