@[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.
You`ve had all the breaks
Learning from your mom`s mistakes
Eating off your daddy`s plate
Spending all your wasted taste
You can`t see past your gate
Once I saw you dip your toe
Past the line at the end of the road
But frightened you came running home
Oh quit your whining
It`s so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you`re describing
You`ve had all the luck
They fought it out for you
Without them you`d be stuck
They held your hand to walk through
Don`t forget you`re bored
And that`s your only problem
Times for you ain`t tough
Try showing them some gratitude
Oh quit your whining
It`s so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you`re describing
Hey there Mr Blue
I`m hurting just by listening to what you`ve been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Inside your white fence
The glass house you`ve created
Things are getting tense
Don`t feel appreciated
Glance out of your window
It looks like sun to me
But you just count the clouds
Sigh and beg for sympathy
Oh quit your whining
It`s so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you`re describing
Hey there Mr Blue
I`m hurting just by listening to what you`ve been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr Blue
You could sit there forever
Blaming others but never
Allowing things to get better
I keep trying
Maybe I should just give up
Hey there Mr Blue
I`m hurting just by listening to what you`ve been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Oh quit your whining
It`s so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you`re describing
Hey there Mr Blue

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.
