@[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.
say you need me
like that would please me
say you'll hold me-
you'd rather own me
keep speaking promises
then break me down
i'd wish that silence
was the only sound
when it's all your way,
will i hear you say,
"you mean nothing to me"?
say your kind words, all your desires
speak of passion.. beyond attraction
cause i'm too stupid;
i haven't learned
you say these words...
till they're returned
so penetrate me
turn me around
yeah desecrate me
that's what it's all about.
assimilate me;
i don't care what you do
if you're not lucky
i may turn into you
cause when it's all your way,
you don't have to say,
"you mean nothing to me".
so i'm leaving
you're too deceiving
and if i miss you
i won't forgive you
it's ever hopeless-
no compromise.
i've seen thru all your masks.
i've seen thru all your lies.
when i go away,
i don't hear you say,
"you mean nothing to me".
when i go away,
can you hear me say,
"you mean nothing to me"?
(you will not be safe.
you will not be saved.
you mean nothing to me.)

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.
