The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I don’t give a fuck if it’s wrong or not
This shit is second nature, there’s no afterthought
I’ll unload the fucking glock 'til the chamber's hot
It’s just the way that I am, this shit cannot be taught
I’m about to pull up
Put them guns up
I’m always talking that shit so what’s up
I’m here now, bitch, I don’t just front
You pussy boys got me fucked up
I’m gonna drop top
Let the gun pop
Watching bodies flop
Watch these mother fuckers dance like hopscotch
I’m dropping hoes, death exposed, lock, reload, motherfucker
And Imma do it all again
I don’t really need a reason to kill
I just enjoy to watch the blood spill
It makes my dick hard and gives me a thrill
Watch the bodies pile into a landfill
My job is done so gimme the bill
Cut the bullshit, this ain't no fucking drill
When it comes to me, you know what’s the deal
I ain’t no bitch, you know I’m forreal
Came up in this bitch
Watch 'em scatter
They be like "Oh no!"
Fuckin' wit me
It's an action flick
Send your soul to meet the ozone
Since the womb, I have been sick
My flow dope as oxycodone
Since the womb, you been a bitch
That shit might be hard to swallow
Young nigga wit a temper
I might switch up like a 6 speed
Hash been on a killstreak
Pray for bloodshed on my enemies
Tommy Dreamer in a TLC
Every man for himself, so I'm preying on these fake emcees
PC punks, they gon' suffer slow, I want all the beef
All hate
No love
Your face
I’ll fuck
Cidephile
No glove
More blood
Your pain
My lust
Cidephile
Cidephile
You get me high
This shit is second nature, there’s no afterthought
I’ll unload the fucking glock 'til the chamber's hot
It’s just the way that I am, this shit cannot be taught
I’m about to pull up
Put them guns up
I’m always talking that shit so what’s up
I’m here now, bitch, I don’t just front
You pussy boys got me fucked up
I’m gonna drop top
Let the gun pop
Watching bodies flop
Watch these mother fuckers dance like hopscotch
I’m dropping hoes, death exposed, lock, reload, motherfucker

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
