@[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.
Dont know about you my nigga but the street's been good to me.
Even took a whole lotta bullshit but it made me a stronger G.
Dont know nuttin else but the street life when it come to me.
I never thought i'd ever think about bitin the hand that fed me.

Lookin for a way to get off the block.
I said look at me now.

[Obie Trice]
Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks.
I came in the game profane, no image.
I came in the game with a name i was given
from a man who didnt give a fuck about his legitamate.
I proclaim the name though.
Never in vain no.
Watch the change grow.
A young nigga who didnt gain from fame.
Copped a range rov',
Now they want my brains on the main row.
But they dont understand what i came for.
I came forward, wit a million sold.
Who say you cant grow from mildew and mold.
Get money like Ross Perrault.
Im often told, a coffins the routes i go.
Oh thats the road you on, oh no.
Im down for the rifle tone of faux fuax.
They'll never try to send a nigga home, no no.
I know you wanna catch me at Sunoco.
Show me that your loco, put hoes in my photo, NOPE!
Ope, hold toast no jokes since thugs beat the poli'.
[Akon]
Stayin in im just gettin much older,
Its time time to go start puffin up trees.
Hot glocks just get much colder, dodgin and duckin the police.
How much longer must I stand on this corner?
I Gotta get off right away.
How much longer must me see sell on this corner before they take my life away?
Dont know about you my nigga but the street's been good to me.
Even took a whole lotta bullshit but it made me a stronger G.

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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
