@[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.

Yo, you don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me, I'm a loner, a rebel
I still remember when my owner assembled me from like thousands of pieces of rotten cadavers
now I'm lost in the caverns, gettin' wicked like David Seville of the chipmunks
(CHET:)
and all I want are my two front teeth to enjoy this meal in the back of my trunk
(MC DEVLIN:)
and I swing and I swang and I swung and I hope you brought the young
'cause I'm here to mate and by mate I mean eat your children while they're fast asleep
(CHET:)
Loosen up my belt to ingest the dead
chemically unstable inside my head
sold my marbles to a man with a hook
he was trading me life for his hand that I took
(MC DEVLIN:)
Check the cortecca y'all cyborg girls I'm an analog man in a digital world
layin down thoughts on the 4-track, tryin to analyze life with a thorn in my thorax
picnicking in the rain on electric blankets still plugged into the wall
I ain't a rebel with a cause, I am a rebel on the scene with adamantium claws
(CHET:)
Kryptonite kills the flow of the rudeboy game but I'm still ruder than Lex
'cause I wanna cop a feel with April O'Neil, find the secret of the ooze just to get that sex
and I heard one day when you go down low you gotta rub the beam to hear the Star Wars theme
A wookie told me "uh-oh", that place is a "no-no"
got to homeplate with C-3-P-O
caught in a mix up (mix up) tryin to fix up your fallopian straw with my Mechanical Claw
My German chorizo lubed up in Crisco
(TOGETHER:)
I crumble MCs like Nabisco in Frisco
(MC DEVLIN:)
Sawed the legs off of Big D's table
rude girls trippin' on my microphone cable
I plowed through Nitro and Tower
Take Lace to the place and waste time for an hour
(CHORUS:)
Sometimes it really makes me wonder, what I gotta do to keep from going under
Sometimes it really makes me wonder, what I gotta do to keep from going under
(MC DEVLIN:)
Never bit the bait, but the bait bit me 'cause I got mad hits and these young girls won't let me be
(CHET:)
It was only a crime under 17
(MC DEVLIN:)
I was on the scene like a sex machine, then every single thing below my waist turned green
so I hit up the doc for some topical lube,
then I used the tube to get rude in the room on a Tuesday night in the TV light I was feelin' alright (alright)
as an Indian woman with a jewel in her nose, entered my room in the Catwoman clothes
(CHET:)
Took a personal day, she caressed me down
to my toes, then up to my crown
I'm alone no more but I'm still a loner
still rebel at heart put my bat mask on
yo Ma, can I iron my cape later on?
(MC DEVLIN:)
Rock on till the break of dawn
fall asleep and wake up in the neighbor's lawn
(CHET:)
Hey, yo, don't get me wrong, no ounce of guilt I play women like Wilt
and when they tell me that's nothing but net
my heads up high, 'cause it's all I could get
(MC DEVLIN:)
Soylent green is a delicacy
In a rich hood, where the eatin' is good
I did it like this and I did it like that
And I did it with the Louisville wood and the wiffle ball bat and the soft ball metal
I'm a boiling kettle on a hot coal stove
I found myself but I lost my soul
Still it's all chill cause I'm just so goddamn ill
(BRIDGE- sung simultaneously)
(CHET:)
I really gotta fix my shit so when you come on by I'm feelin' fly
I'll show you 'round to the circuit room
it's kinda cold in there so let's up the heat
(CHORUS)

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
