@[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 walk in a line
I see where I'm goin'
I turn inside out
The days that I've known
I face to myself
And give up the ghost
I turn in my mind
What time already knows
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
I sift through the ash
I look for a sign
I open the wound
That keeps me in line
The shoulder that turns
The flame that goes out
The chapter I close
There's no point to it now
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
And can something changed
And still feel the same
The beginning's the end
I start all over again
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
I see where I'm goin'
I turn inside out
The days that I've known
I face to myself
And give up the ghost
I turn in my mind
What time already knows
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
I sift through the ash
I look for a sign
I open the wound
That keeps me in line
The shoulder that turns
The flame that goes out
The chapter I close
There's no point to it now
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead
And can something changed
And still feel the same
The beginning's the end
I start all over again
In the time of the assassins they say "Hallelujah"
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a heart from the dead

Impressionistic. Possibly about ignoring critics, moving forward. A lyric that can be interpreted in a general positive sense.
Great melody tune. The song that follows is angry and unforgiving, nice counterpoint, and refers to See See Rider, for what that's worth or means...
