@[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.
And here I go again, through the back streets of my mind,
It seems my life was standing still,
Who's sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how I didn't notice
Here we go again, fighting things we never win,
It seems our love was standing still
Oh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how (funny how)
I don't feel the love,
I just hear the words,
Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see
Love hurts
I won't be fooled again,
Looking for the dream I couldn't find
The dream for me was left behind
Woh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how (funny how)
I don't feel the love
I just hear the words
Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about,
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see, love hurts,
Julia please, open your eyes and see
Julia wants to be on her own,
Sharing her thoughts, she is all alone,
Dreaming of the things she wants to be,
Where Julia don't belong
Julia says
She doesn't know, what it's all about
She doesn't know,
Julia please open your eyes see
C'mon Julie open your eyes and see
She don't know what it's all about
Julia please, Julia please
Julia, you don't care at all
Cause I want you
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Julie, Julie, Julie
It seems my life was standing still,

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
I've always loved this song, it brings me very sweet memories from high school and my life back then. For some reason, I've always found it very touching, but back then I didn't understand the lyrics so now I'm not so sure what it could be written about. The armonies are really beautiful, it's one of my favourites from the mid-90s.
I always love this song, music and lyrics. I think it's about a girl who doesn't seem to care about his lover and how the story goes. she seems to be cinic or, living in a dreamworld.
I think this song tell about repetition of bad romance between (Julia) and her lover. When he(the lover) love her(julia), Julia rejected him. And than when Julia love him, he rejected her. He not believe when she tell, she love him, coz before... Julia rejected him.
But when he reject her, he feel hurt when doing that to her. In lyrics : "And here I go again, through the back streets of my mind, It seems my life was standing still, Who's sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how I didn't notice "
But than he realise that he love her. In lyrics : "Here we go again, fighting things we never win, It seems our love was standing still . Oh I'm sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how (funny how) "
But too bad, he already breaking her heart, so she reject him. In lyrics : "Julia says She doesn't know what it's all about She doesn't seem to care at all, Open your eyes and see Love hurts "
And know she (julia) doesn't want to be hurting by him again. In lyrics : "I won't be fooled again, Looking for the dream I couldn't find The dream for me was left behind Woh I'm sorry now (sorry now) It's funny how (funny how) I don't feel the love I just hear the words "
But he still persistent with his love, he want to prove to Julia. that he not afraid anymore and he really love Julia. In lyric: "Julia please open your eyes see C'mon Julie open your eyes and see She don't know what it's all about Julia please, Julia please Julia, you don't care at all Cause I want you C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Julie, Julie, Julie"
She think, the romance between them should be end. Coz its only make them hurting each other feeling.... In lyrics: "Julia wants to be on her own, Sharing her thoughts, she is all alone, Dreaming of the things she wants to be, Where Julia don't belong"
But i think, there is still a hope for him... Coz " the dream of the things she want to be, are not where Julia belong" Only take few time for her to realise where should she belong... Its like when he(the lover) realise that he belongs to Julia (◠‿◠✿)
If its real romance... well... it will be REALLY A HARD TIME for him... Chayo!! C'mon boy... he love her right?! ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ Next time the girl you love, loving you, DONT REJECT HER!!! "Love must be honest and brave..." He must pay the price, weather "lose the love or patient to get the love" Depend... how much he love her...
Love is complicated, i stick to the rule.. "Love yourself" Much more simplify... wkwkwkwk... forever alone... XDXDXD
I think this is about being around the backstreets of Bath and a girl refusing his walking advance due to his fame.
I reckon the reaction surprised him and Tommy.
Time stood still.
There was then regret
The words of the song being said at the time
An amazing encounter with regret.
Great song.
