@[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 ring kept him on, been learning fast
I just got you wrong, it's not built to last, it's not built to last
Time keeps on tripping on, though I learn my lessons fast
And it was time for me to cut and run
And if I ever do the past, you're not the only one, we're living
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
We live separate lives, can't even organize
One more meeting of minds ain't gonna make it right, no
There's more humanity in just letting it be now
'Cause I can't seem to justify when we're living separate dreams
Have we forgotten love, we're lost in
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to choose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
Are we chose to give it
Are we chose to live it, our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven
But are we too driven in a parallel light?
All because we chose to live it
Are chose to give in our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven
Well, are we too driven in a parallel light?
What were we destined for, to live in
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to choose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
I just got you wrong, it's not built to last, it's not built to last
Time keeps on tripping on, though I learn my lessons fast
And it was time for me to cut and run
And if I ever do the past, you're not the only one, we're living
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
We live separate lives, can't even organize
One more meeting of minds ain't gonna make it right, no
There's more humanity in just letting it be now
'Cause I can't seem to justify when we're living separate dreams
Have we forgotten love, we're lost in
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
Parallel lives
Oh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to choose it
To the passing of time
Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
Are we chose to give it
Are we chose to live it, our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven
But are we too driven in a parallel light?
All because we chose to live it
Are chose to give in our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven

Oh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied

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.
