In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It`s happening all over again
Lady Ice and Mr. Hex
She`ll leave you could he`ll make you flex
They disappear without a trace
Accelerate and take your place
The creep`s arrived he`s in your home
Like all the dreams you`ve never known
He`s standing by to steal your luck
He`s spotted you you`re panic struck
Stop!
Stop!
They`re standing either side of you
They guide you but they block your view
Lady Ice with medium cool
Will set you up she`s watching you
She`ll trip you out and trap you in
Strain every nerve to make you spin
He`ll pick you up and make you strong
Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone
Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It`s happening all over again
Look!
They made me a promise today
They know that I can`t go away
It`s happening all over again
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It`s happening all over again
Lady Ice and Mr. Hex
She`ll leave you could he`ll make you flex
They disappear without a trace
Accelerate and take your place
The creep`s arrived he`s in your home
Like all the dreams you`ve never known
He`s standing by to steal your luck
He`s spotted you you`re panic struck
Stop!
Stop!
They`re standing either side of you
They guide you but they block your view
Lady Ice with medium cool
Will set you up she`s watching you
She`ll trip you out and trap you in
Strain every nerve to make you spin
He`ll pick you up and make you strong
Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone
Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It`s happening all over again
Look!
They made me a promise today
They know that I can`t go away
It`s happening all over again

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm pretty sure 'Lady Ice' is a 70's crime film and 'Mr Hex' is a comedy film from the 40's.
I've heard the song is about drug usage, with the movie names used as references. Also has a strange part with the entire 'do-do-do-lickin-do-do' segment, otherwise it's my least favorite Heaven 17 song because it sounds cheesy.
