@[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.
People call my name but I don’t recognize it
Walking down these halls that lead to nowhere
My mind keeps wandering, thinking bout the future
Is this a life I choose or one that chooses me
They say time waits for no one, but can it wait for me
Don’t know who I wanna be
Just hurry up, take your time
Don’t you wait, stay in line
It will all come in time
I don’t know who I am
Can’t find my own plan
Help me understand
You, you found your way through
Know just what to do
Let me follow you
What do I wanna be, wanna be
Who’s to say it’s you or me, you or me
The one that will be OK, or locked in without dreams of freedom
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
Have to find what’s inside this life
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
I don’t know who I am
Can’t find my own plan
Help me understand
You, you found your way through
Know just what to do
Let me follow you
Walking down these halls that lead to nowhere
My mind keeps wandering, thinking bout the future
Is this a life I choose or one that chooses me
They say time waits for no one, but can it wait for me
Don’t know who I wanna be
Just hurry up, take your time
Don’t you wait, stay in line
It will all come in time
I don’t know who I am
Can’t find my own plan
Help me understand
You, you found your way through
Know just what to do
Let me follow you
What do I wanna be, wanna be
Who’s to say it’s you or me, you or me
The one that will be OK, or locked in without dreams of freedom
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
Have to find what’s inside this life
Who am I
Who am I

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.

Amazing

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
