@[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.
Yo, 'sup, 'sup
$hort Dawg is in the house, beyotch
Yeah, got my orange juice, bottle full of gin
And it's all good
Ya know, this might be the last album I make y'all
So I figured like this, why should I go out like a sucker
Why should I go out like everybody else
I'm goin' out just like I came in this motherfucker
Straight mackin', bitch, born to mack
Always was and always will be
Ya know what I'm sayin'
And it's like that but y'all know what though
Even though, throughout my whole entire career
I always spoke my mind about what was goin' on
With my folks and my community
All I ever got credit for was sayin' one motherfuckin' word
Ya know what I'm sayin', but it's cool though
'Cuz now you know what's happenin' now
You got all these rappers out here
On the mic, on their records, sayin' beyotch
Just like $hort Dawg, ya know what I'm sayin'
And it's cool like that, I got this youngstaz up in the O Town
Runnin' around here, they tryna earn a reputation tryna diss $hort Dawg
Knowin', all through their elementary and high years
All they listen to was too $hort, ya know what I'm sayin'
Well like I told you man, I'm goin' out like I came in
I'm goin' out like a motherfuckin' champ
And God knows, I'm known y'all, I'm known for a motherfuckin' fact
Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me
You never could fuck with me on the real deal, man
I came befo' you, and I'ma finish befo' you
And it's like, it's like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, man
I got the most points scored
And you gotta catch up, ya know what I'm sayin'
So it's all good
For the first nigga that step up and take over
It's yours, baby, but for now
I'm still runnin' this motherfucker, ya know
And you can put a bitch on that one
Like that

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“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.
