@[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 almost always pick the best times to drop the worst lines
You almost made me cry again this time
Another false alarm, red flashing lights
Well, this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game and let myself cry
Buried myself alive on the inside, so I could shut you out
And let you go away for a long time, God
I guess it's okay, I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
I think the chain broke away and I felt it the day
That I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine
But it was worth the night I caught an early flight
And I made it home
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that, nicer than that
With my foot on your neck, I finally have you
Right where I want you, right where I want you
Right where I want you, right where I want you
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that (I guess it's okay I puked the day away)
Nicer than that (I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way)
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that, nicer, nicer

Awesome, my favorite song of them. This takes me back to the early years of college and how alone I felt despite that I had all of my close friends...I remember just riding on the train, with this song blasting in my ears and soaking in his words and screams--it made me feel alive and not so sad.
