This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Vissa har allt, men vill ändå ha mer
Rätt eller fel, å vem bestämmer
Vissa har svaren, men tiger ändå
Vit eller svart, kan en lögn va grå
Svårt att berömma den som har det bra,
Lätt att fördömma den som inget har.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller,
Do eller jag.
Vi lever idag o ett liv går så fort
Om do va jag, va hade do gjort
Stannar do kvar fastän hjärtat vill ut
Kan ett farväl va ett lyckligt slut
Svårt att förlåta den som vänder om
Lätt att begråta det som fanns en gång.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller.
tala är silver, men lyckas hålla tyst är guld
Stenen är kastad, men vem stod utan skuld.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller,
Do eller jag.
do eller jag, do eller jag.
Rätt eller fel, å vem bestämmer
Vissa har svaren, men tiger ändå
Vit eller svart, kan en lögn va grå
Svårt att berömma den som har det bra,
Lätt att fördömma den som inget har.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller,
Do eller jag.
Vi lever idag o ett liv går så fort
Om do va jag, va hade do gjort
Stannar do kvar fastän hjärtat vill ut
Kan ett farväl va ett lyckligt slut
Svårt att förlåta den som vänder om
Lätt att begråta det som fanns en gång.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller.
tala är silver, men lyckas hålla tyst är guld
Stenen är kastad, men vem stod utan skuld.
Djävul eller gud, vem är jag vem är do
Står do kvar, om himmelen faller.
Djävul eller gud, vad vet jag vad vet do
Vem står kvar, om vem av oss faller,
Do eller jag.
do eller jag, do eller jag.

@[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.
