@[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.
Just look at the mess I made today
I really didn't think it would get this bad
But this is gotta be the worst day I've ever had I swear
this is gotta be the worst day I've ever had
Oooh
I feel like I'm living in a Russian play
when it seems like I've made everybody mad
but even on the worst day I've ever had
I still find a reason to , and its a pretty good one
to be glad
At least you know, now you know
everthing's right on time
it will all blow over in a few days
and be just fine
if none of this
just think of it as peace of mind
at least you know everything is right on time
now from guinness mean time to that nuclear clock in Denver
to that anxious feeling you always get in late September
do you remember the sound of your homeroom bell
like the way you always seem to know like clockwork
when things are gonna go to hell
At least you know, now you know
everthing's right on time
it will all blow over in a few days
and be just fine
if none of this
just think of it as peace of mind
at least you know everything is right on time
I really didn't think it would get this bad
But this is gotta be the worst day I've ever had I swear
this is gotta be the worst day I've ever had
Oooh
I feel like I'm living in a Russian play
when it seems like I've made everybody mad
but even on the worst day I've ever had
I still find a reason to , and its a pretty good one
to be glad
At least you know, now you know
everthing's right on time
it will all blow over in a few days
and be just fine
if none of this
just think of it as peace of mind
at least you know everything is right on time
now from guinness mean time to that nuclear clock in Denver
to that anxious feeling you always get in late September
do you remember the sound of your homeroom bell
like the way you always seem to know like clockwork
when things are gonna go to hell
At least you know, now you know
everthing's right on time
it will all blow over in a few days
and be just fine
if none of this
just think of it as peace of mind
at least you know everything is right on time

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.

Amazing
