@[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.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just existin'
I'm not really livin'
I'm only watchin' the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in You
I'm not who I'm meant to be, no
I'm driftin' farther away from my destiny
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord
Awaken me, oh yeah
My soul is longin', my heart is searchin'
I'm desperate for You to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I'm cryin' out to You
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You
I wanna live for you
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord
Open my eyes so I can see
Your presence dwelling inside
Wake me up, 'cause I can't live
Another minute if I'm not shining your light
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken the passion in me, oh yeah
Awaken me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
(Lord, awaken me to live my destiny)
Awaken Your power and take control
(Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me)
Awaken the passion to live for You
(Lord, awaken me to live my destiny)
To live for You, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me)
Wake me up, Lord, yeah
Give me your passion, Jesus
I wanna live for you
I'm not really livin'
I'm only watchin' the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in You
I'm not who I'm meant to be, no
I'm driftin' farther away from my destiny
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord
Awaken me, oh yeah
My soul is longin', my heart is searchin'
I'm desperate for You to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer

Awaken me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
(Lord, awaken me to live my destiny)
Awaken Your power and take control
(Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me)
Awaken the passion to live for You
(Lord, awaken me to live my destiny)
To live for You, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me)

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.
