@[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.
My life is for the taking now the gun is in my hand.
One gun, one round, one life is for the taking.
One pull, one shot, one showdown brings the end.
Through every night
don’t you turn around?
And bleed forever nothing left no regret in,
no regret in my life.
Tear in my eyes.
It’s a good day to die.
Now as I step outside,
the end descends upon me.
Through every war!
Don’t you turn around, is me!
Forever haunted for eternity with
my lonely soul.
Tear in my eyes.
It’s a good day to die.
Now as I step outside,
the end descends upon me.
Night rider, the outlaw of the west,
he will come to take you all too hell!
Night rider, the outlaw of the west,
he will come to take you all to hell!
Outlaw, cannot take my life.
Outlaw, never take my life.
What I am - an outlaw until the end.
Dead or alive, an immortal I am in your eyes

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.
