@[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 crooked thief
Has made her plans
Armed with explosives in her hands
She makes her way
Through tunnels small
Quietly creeping toward the vault
And once she plants her TNT
There will be nothing left of me
A hollowed shell, all vulnerable
She'll detonate my soul
The plot thickens as I grow thin
There's not much left of a heart within
The vault door shattered
Its shards, they bleed
The consequences of her greed
My heart's content
It seems it's trapped
It looks as though I may be apt
To stick around
Though strung along
It's in her grasp that I belong
Notorious
For robbing boys
With intricately complex ploys
And once she turned
Her sights on me
It was too late for me to flee
The plot thickens as I grow thin
There's not much left of a heart within
The vault door shattered
Its shards, they bleed
The consequences of her greed
Has made her plans
Armed with explosives in her hands
She makes her way
Through tunnels small
Quietly creeping toward the vault
And once she plants her TNT
There will be nothing left of me
A hollowed shell, all vulnerable
She'll detonate my soul
The plot thickens as I grow thin
There's not much left of a heart within
The vault door shattered
Its shards, they bleed
The consequences of her greed
My heart's content
It seems it's trapped
It looks as though I may be apt
To stick around
Though strung along
It's in her grasp that I belong
Notorious
For robbing boys
With intricately complex ploys
And once she turned
Her sights on me
It was too late for me to flee
The plot thickens as I grow thin
There's not much left of a heart within
The vault door shattered
Its shards, they bleed
The consequences of her greed

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.
