@[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.
some day I'll be a rich ass nigga
but right now Im just a broke muthafucka
wanna kill me go ahead pull the trigger
dont gotta aim cuz my head's gettin bigger
when everyone comes beatin down my door
I'm just watchin out the window
you think Im just a punk let me get to my trunk
thats as far as that shit goes
we ride the train along the way
we ride the pain
such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
and Im so far gone
come again, come again
what are you sayin now?
its just the same thing I heard for years now
go figure be the one thats left here
talkin shit behind my back
to everybodys ear
used to be a game now everything changed
Im just the same old busta
a little more stupid, but Im crazy insane
Im just the same old hustla
we ride the train along the way
we ride the pain
such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
and Im so far gone
I know that you wanna see me cryin
and you know I dont wanna hear ya denyin
but ya satisfaction lies, and your illusions
but your illusions are yours and not mine
some day I'll be a rich ass nigga
but right now Im just a broke muthafucka
wanna kill me go ahead pull the trigger
dont gotta aim cuz my head's gettin bigger
when everyone comes beatin down my door
I'm just watchin out the window
I'll get a gun, I'll shoot every fuckin body
thats as far as that shit goes
we ride the train along the way
we ride the pain
such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
and Im so far gone
but right now Im just a broke muthafucka
wanna kill me go ahead pull the trigger
dont gotta aim cuz my head's gettin bigger
when everyone comes beatin down my door
I'm just watchin out the window
you think Im just a punk let me get to my trunk
thats as far as that shit goes
we ride the train along the way
we ride the pain
such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
and Im so far gone
come again, come again
what are you sayin now?

No Surprises

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.
