He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Don't cry
Open up your eyes and know
There's someone else out there that feels this way
I'm singing to you
Cause I know what you've been through and now
It's not so long ago I felt the same
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
I remember summer nights alone
Fireflies the only thing we own
All we ever dreams of California
I remember winters were so cold
Hunger was the only thing we know
And rock n' roll dreamin' was what saved us
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Till we see the sun
Till we see the sun
Through the good times,
Through the bad times
Through the long days
Through the hard nights
Keep on till we see the sun
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Even when there's no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
Like soldiers march on
Open up your eyes and know
There's someone else out there that feels this way
I'm singing to you
Cause I know what you've been through and now
It's not so long ago I felt the same
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
I remember summer nights alone
Fireflies the only thing we own
All we ever dreams of California
I remember winters were so cold
Hunger was the only thing we know
And rock n' roll dreamin' was what saved us
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Till we see the sun
Till we see the sun
Through the good times,
Through the bad times
Through the long days
Through the hard nights
Keep on till we see the sun
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Even when there's no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
Like soldiers march on

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.

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 an amazing song! one of the best GC have written =] ... this song played live is awesome and so is the acoustic! .. this song has a deeper meaning to it (unlike most of the other songs on the album =[ )
