@[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.
Time runs out
Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected
This has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky
I walked away compromised
Counting steps of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game
It's not a game to me)
Pictures on the drivers seat
So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
You didn't even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible plans you made
Deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
But disappearing
If it's gray then
Just leave it
Some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Those words seemed so sincere
In this shallow sea I drown
You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don't want to wait for this
(A ruined list, the longing kiss)
Making all the moments last
(As if we had, the sentiment)
Yearning for the sound
(Breaking from the crowd)
Leaving all the cynics
(Racing for the finish)
Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
Time runs out
If I should die
If I should
Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected
This has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky
I walked away compromised
Counting steps of what's left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
