He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Twice I turned my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Was it a blue night
Gone fragile
Was it above the man
In a wonder steady going under
Tell 'em drain the pool I'm sinking fast
Come and save my life before it pass
Scratching at the surface
But the bottom's where I'm at
Only place my addiction will tell me that I'm free at last
So why the fuck you playing with my head
I said I'm done
Any and everything I had is gone
I said you won
You promised that we'd only be together for a minute
But my life had passed another year
Why the fuck is you in it?
Bitch I gave up everything for you
Even my house
Now I'm begging on a nightly bases
To sleep on the couch
My counselor said I need to find a way to block the pain
I told him it was already too late
She is in my veins
And he said
Tell me what lead you on
I'd love to know
Well it's just that
When I felt her the first time, I flew
Nobody gives me the high that she do
See we fight all the time
And she leaves bruises on my arms
But the way she makes me feel inside
That girl can do no wrong
Now all my family hates me
Since I started fucking with her
And all my friends have left me
Cause they jealous that I'm with her
I tried to break it off
But she gets me back with the feel
After everything she did
Why the fuck do I love that needle
Please help me
Twice I turned my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Look, this love is killing me
Literally
Every time I start to pick you up
You finish me
Used to love waking up in the mornings
And feeling you
Now I'm just ashamed
Wearing long sleeves, concealing you
Bitch you wasn't shit
How the fuck could you do this?
Now my fucking life is ruined
Ima kill you bitch, I'll do it
And so I
Tie it up
Stick that shit up in my skin
And overdose on your love
So I can't have it again
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Was it a blue night
Gone fragile
Was it above the man
In a wonder steady going under
Tell 'em drain the pool I'm sinking fast
Come and save my life before it pass
Scratching at the surface
But the bottom's where I'm at
Only place my addiction will tell me that I'm free at last
So why the fuck you playing with my head
I said I'm done
Any and everything I had is gone
I said you won
You promised that we'd only be together for a minute
But my life had passed another year
Why the fuck is you in it?
Bitch I gave up everything for you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.

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.
