@[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.
The sky is painted black
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track
And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
Upon our plates to feed
The dying left to bleed
How much we really need
Your politics of greed
The cancer takes ahold
The wolf is in the fold
Our destiny's been sold
We do just what we're told
And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
Your armies filled with hate
Believing your charade
Begin to suffocate
For us it's far too late
And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)
We are letting you get away (get away with it)

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Great song... but PikachusNightmare: we all make little choices along the way that decide just how much we give up, and listening to, and more importantly interpreting, this music is a great way to keep it fresh on the mind that we are being "forced" to be robotic americans, but we can rebel with our own forces to accomplish what we know must be done and avoid what we know we cannot endure.
