@[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.
Here come the clones
There closing in on the near vicinity
There out to prolong, what has so long?
Been feeding off the ones who have no
Rules to uphold or a need to scold
We must exclude this individual
And saturate, negotiate an understanding
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other then
The ones who can't escape the noise within
But can you tell how we alienate ourselves
We don't have to be phony
Act excited while we do not relate and will not
Partake in orchestrated spontaneity
That you plan out and impose
But is now exposed
And the cheers have turned pale
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other than
The ones who can't escape the noise within
Try telling it to the ones
Whose back upon we like to dance
Succumb to the noise within
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other than
The ones who can't escape the noise within
Ohh, the noise within
There closing in on the near vicinity
There out to prolong, what has so long?
Been feeding off the ones who have no
Rules to uphold or a need to scold
We must exclude this individual
And saturate, negotiate an understanding
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other then
The ones who can't escape the noise within
But can you tell how we alienate ourselves
We don't have to be phony
Act excited while we do not relate and will not
Partake in orchestrated spontaneity
That you plan out and impose
But is now exposed
And the cheers have turned pale
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other than
The ones who can't escape the noise within
Try telling it to the ones
Whose back upon we like to dance
Succumb to the noise within
Don't wanna be dependent on others
For what is missing
Don't know if it will ever be otherwise
Than it is now
We tip the scale and run
Identify with none other than
The ones who can't escape the noise within
Ohh, the noise within

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
