@[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.
Ever since I've met you girl
you've had this crazy way of making me feel
don't get me wrong I'm not here trying to fall in love
But something?s changing me
You laughin, acting crazy girl you always put a smile on my face
You know just how to chill this thug mentality
I put on for others to see
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
I don't mean to make it seem like I'm taking this to seriously
But I just want to let you know what's on my mind
can't you see what we could be?
(We could be so in love)
Got me buggin, oh I'm sacrificing myself,
I'm here singing this to you
See I just couldn't face myself
knowing that I didn't just tell you the truth
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
If by chance you should find yourself falling deep in love
you know you can count on me
Just like a thief in the night
you come and take away the only way I know how to be
You stole my heart from me
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Yeah, yeah, yeeah
Up and down?
Your love?
But what's come over me?
I don't know?

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.

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.
