This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In an old apartment waiting for the walls to move
Praying that someone, hoping that no one intrudes
Living like an actor, feeling like a poet bruised
But no man is an island
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
Lonely tonight
Passing like a shadow, never letting anyone see
And maybe I'm biased but I don't think
You know the first thing about me
But no man is an island
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
No one is free, come light
And heavier stones think to themselves
That they're alone here
But everyone grieves and everyone feels
Lonely tonight
Don't tell me you know
When I know you don't
Don't tell me you know
When you know you don't
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
No one is free, come light
And heavier stones think to themselves
That they're alone here
But everyone grieves and everyone feels
Lonely tonight
But no man is an island
Praying that someone, hoping that no one intrudes
Living like an actor, feeling like a poet bruised
But no man is an island
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
Lonely tonight
Passing like a shadow, never letting anyone see
And maybe I'm biased but I don't think
You know the first thing about me
But no man is an island
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
No one is free, come light
And heavier stones think to themselves
That they're alone here
But everyone grieves and everyone feels
Lonely tonight
Don't tell me you know
When I know you don't
Don't tell me you know
When you know you don't
Lay down your robe, leper or rogue
Keep yourself open here
Don't let the cold close to your soul
No one is free, come light
And heavier stones think to themselves
That they're alone here
But everyone grieves and everyone feels
Lonely tonight
But no man is an island

@[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.

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

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
