The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I been losin' my mind one lover at a time
Getting up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain I come back again
And I always go one more round
Women, me, and love we just can?t get it right
Well I may lose the battle but I love the fight
Well love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Love you've done all you can do to me
I don?t give up so easily
No you ain't seen the last of me
I got a big long list of all the times I missed
When I zeroed in on love
And at times it seems
Like one heartache begins
Where the last one has just left off
And tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed at my heart
But she?s a lookin' at me and
I'm feelin' that feelin' start
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Oh love you've done all you can do to me
I don?t give up so easily
No you ain't seen the last of me
I said tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed at my heart
'Cause she's a lookin' at me and
I'm feelin' that feelin' start
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Yeah love you've done
All you can do to me
I don't give up easily
And no you ain't seen the last of me
Getting up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain I come back again
And I always go one more round
Women, me, and love we just can?t get it right
Well I may lose the battle but I love the fight
Well love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Love you've done all you can do to me
I don?t give up so easily
No you ain't seen the last of me
I got a big long list of all the times I missed
When I zeroed in on love
And at times it seems
Like one heartache begins
Where the last one has just left off
And tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed at my heart
But she?s a lookin' at me and
I'm feelin' that feelin' start
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Oh love you've done all you can do to me
I don?t give up so easily
No you ain't seen the last of me
I said tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed at my heart
'Cause she's a lookin' at me and
I'm feelin' that feelin' start
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Yeah love you've done
All you can do to me
I don't give up easily
And no you ain't seen the last of me

@[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 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.
