@[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 first saw you.
You had on blue jeans.
Your eyes couldn't hide anything.
I saw you breathing.
And I saw you staring out in space.
I next saw you, you was at a party.
Though you was a queen, oh so flirty.
I cam against.
Didn't say excuse.
You knew what I was doing.
We looked very fine 'cause we were leaving.
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool, jerk.
Oh I want you, Oh I want you...
Like a kangaroo...

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."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The song is actually about a Girl who is gang raped at party. These albums are all about sexual abuse/murder/destruction, mostly due to drug abuse. They are a warning to those who use hard drugs as they are replete with Voice effect processed lyrics, most set at a certain frequency that can only be heard by people who are on methamphetamine, heroin or fall into of very small category of approximately 1% of the Earth's population, who can hear them without drugs. You can, through the use of the aforementioned drugs, condition your hearing and train your ears to hear the sounds without drugs. Or if you have some high-end stereo equipment you can filter, and hear them quite clearly. Enjoy
@NEMESIS1937 what the hell, please give me more information on how you can hear these 'hidden lyrics'. so interested by this, I had no idea!! i was on garage band trying to change the frequencies which i think would work well but not sure what to set it to. Also tried researching this and couldnt find much!!<br />
@NEMESIS1937 This song is not about a girl who was gang raped. Not sure where you got that. It's originally a Big Star song written by Alex Chilton. Alex is singing about when he met Lesa Aldridge. There was intense chemistry between them. She was being flirty and when he says "I came against. Didn't say excuse. Knew what I was doing" it means he got physically close to her, probably pressing up against her as a way of making a move. He then says "We looked very fine as we were leaving" which means they left together. They dated for a couple of years. The Big Star album from which this song is from is mostly about her and their relationship. She even sings on some of the songs. If she had been raped (which I don't understand where the "gang" part of your comment comes in since no other people are mentioned, nor do I understand the "rape" part) she wouldn't have left with him and dated him. She has said that the first time she saw him he didn't notice her but she was instantly attracted to him. This song is basically about his fascination with her and, I believe, the end of their relationship. The line "Like St.Joan doing a cool jerk" sounds like he thinks she deserves better than him, like she's sacrificing her worth by being with him. Then the line "Oh, I want you, like a kangaroo" suggests his longing and grief (kangaroos are known for being emotional and experiencing intense grief over a loss).
