This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Key chain dangles out of the door
As the last scene is played out
Between you and me
And you ask me to leave
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
Better than it's been
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come
These days you throw blame around the room
With some clothes into a suitcase
How I'd love
To wipe that look off your face
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
And then you slam the door in my face
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
Better than it's been
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come
As the last scene is played out
Between you and me
And you ask me to leave
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
Better than it's been
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come
These days you throw blame around the room
With some clothes into a suitcase
How I'd love
To wipe that look off your face
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
And then you slam the door in my face
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come
And I want you to say (this can get better)
And I know myself (I can do better)
And I want to say (this can get better)
Better than it's been
'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
Only this time it never does come
It never does come

@[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.
