@[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.
Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will I want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.
It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear I just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will I want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.
It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear I just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
