@[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.
Some people have many pairs of shoes
Some people don't have one
Some people travel all around the world
Some have never seen the sun
Some people have
Many friends
Some people don't have one
Some people spend their days smiling and laughing
Some people never have fun
We need a world where everyone's basic needs are met
We are all one, we must never forget
We need to come together and help each other out
We can make a better world, I have no doubt
Let's embrace unity and equality
Together we can triumph over adversity
Eliminate greed and apathy
With nature we must live in harmony
Let's embrace unity and equality
Together we can triumph over adversity
Eliminate greed and apathy
With nature we must live in harmony
Some people have
So much food
They throw half of it away
Some people have
Nothing to eat
They suffer
All day
Some people have
So much water
They use it
To keep their lawns green
Some people have no clean water at all
That is obscene
We need a world where everyone's basic needs are met
We are all one, we must never forget
We need to come together and help each other out
We can make a better world, I have no doubt
Let's embrace unity and equality
Together we can triumph over adversity
Eliminate greed and apathy
With nature we must live in harmony
Let's embrace unity and equality
Together we can triumph over adversity
Eliminate greed and apathy
With nature we must live in harmony
Imagine what we can accomplish
If we stop competing against each other
Imagine what we can accomplish
If we work together for the common good
Imagine what we can accomplish
If we all get to know each other
Let's listen to each other so that people are no longer misunderstood
Do ya think world peace is impossible?
Then let's demand the impossible
Let's demand the impossible, demand the impossible
Do ya think world peace is impossible?
Then let's demand the impossible
Let's demand the impossible, demand the impossible
Imagine what we can accomplish if we get rid of the things that divide us
No more countries, no more borders, no more religions, no more money
Imagine what we can accomplish if we start caring about each other
Let's be compassionate
And respect one another
Do ya think world peace is impossible?
Then let's demand the impossible
Let's demand the impossible, demand the impossible
Do ya think world peace is impossible?
Then let's demand the impossible
Let's demand the impossible, demand the impossible
Greed, selfishness, and apathy have got to go
Why have a lawn where plant foods can grow?
We need a world where all our necessities are met
We are all one, let us not forget
Imagine what we can accomplish if we all practice the Golden Rule:
Treat others as you'd like to be treated
Treat others as you'd like to be treated
Imagine what we can accomplish if we all live our values
Don't suppress your kindness
Being kind rocks
Imagine what we can accomplish if we get rid of money
Love of money is the root
Of a lot of evil
Imagine a world without capitalism
Imagine never worrying about
Money ever again
Some people don't have one
Some people travel all around the world
Some have never seen the sun
Some people have
Many friends
Some people don't have one
Some people spend their days smiling and laughing
Some people never have fun
We need a world where everyone's basic needs are met
We are all one, we must never forget
We need to come together and help each other out
We can make a better world, I have no doubt
Let's embrace unity and equality
Together we can triumph over adversity
Eliminate greed and apathy
With nature we must live in harmony

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.

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.

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.
