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”
Baby, you're not the only one
I see the things he does to you
All the pain that he puts you through
If I see what's really going on
Staying out at night while you're by the phone
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See, I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of
Baby, you're not the only one
You don't have to be afraid to fall in love
And I know that you've hurt in the past
But if you want it here's my heart
No strings attached
He doesn't give you the kind of attention
That a girl like you needs (that a girl like you needs)
'Cause he always looks around
His eyes wander around
He doesn't see you like I see
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
Baby, I would give you love
The kind of love that you'd only dreamed of
Baby, you're not the only one (baby, you're not the only one)
You don't have to be afraid to fall in love (to fall in love)
And I know that you've hurt in the past (hurt in the past)
If you want it here's my heart (here's my heart)
No strings attached
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See, I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of
So if you want to take a chance with me
Baby, take a chance with me (I'll be everything you need)
Everything you need
Because it's our destiny
Baby, you're not the only one
To be, to be afraid
You've hurt in the past
If you want, here's my heart
(No strings attached)
Baby, you're not the only one
You don't to be afraid
I know that you're hurting
If you want, here's my heart
No strings attached
I see the things he does to you
All the pain that he puts you through
If I see what's really going on
Staying out at night while you're by the phone
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
See, I would give you love
The kind of love that you've only dreamed of
Baby, you're not the only one
You don't have to be afraid to fall in love
And I know that you've hurt in the past
But if you want it here's my heart
No strings attached
He doesn't give you the kind of attention
That a girl like you needs (that a girl like you needs)
'Cause he always looks around
His eyes wander around
He doesn't see you like I see
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned
Even the good guys get burned
Take it from me
Baby, I would give you love
The kind of love that you'd only dreamed of
Baby, you're not the only one (baby, you're not the only one)
You don't have to be afraid to fall in love (to fall in love)
And I know that you've hurt in the past (hurt in the past)
If you want it here's my heart (here's my heart)
No strings attached
Take it from me
It's a lesson to be learned

@[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.
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."
