@[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.
No sign of life
Pulsing through these aging veins
"I bet it's your age", that's easier for you to say
Forcing answers into questions
And worrying that you might stop breathing
On and on we sift through alphabets of life
That never get us anywhere, anyway
I'd like you to feel we have the best intentions
I want you to know that I know it's not easy
I want you to know that I know it's not easy
Easy, easy
Then there's a peak you reach
Out to somebody that's never even there
Somebody that you may hope that they might care
For nearby health, or distant welfare
I'm pleased to hear that you're warm, 'cause I'm freezing
Yeah, I'm freezing
Co-old
I don't want to be alone, is that out of the question
I'd like to have you home, is that too obvious
Quit being pushed around, stand on my feet
And kick all these losers out of my street
I've been losing confidence in the heat
Just when I'm feeling the strength, I get weak
I've been losing confidence in the heat
Just when I'm feeling the strength, I get weak

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
