@[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.
Don't want to think about it anymore
Lying curled and naked on the floor
And I don't want to hear those words you say
What were they anyway?
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
So here I go
(So here I go, so here I go)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Geronimo
Don't want to get up outta bed today
It seems much harder than it was yesterday
And I don't want to hear those words you say
What were they anyway?
What were they anyway?
[Chorus]
Let's leave today
And forget everything
Can't really take this place
So what you say?
Let's leave it all behind
And don't look back
We won't rewind this time
Let's get away
[Chorus: x2]
Lying curled and naked on the floor
And I don't want to hear those words you say
What were they anyway?
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
So here I go
(So here I go, so here I go)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Geronimo
Don't want to get up outta bed today
It seems much harder than it was yesterday
And I don't want to hear those words you say
What were they anyway?
What were they anyway?
[Chorus]
Let's leave today
And forget everything
Can't really take this place
So what you say?
Let's leave it all behind
And don't look back
We won't rewind this time
Let's get away
[Chorus: x2]

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."
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
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 think this song is about suicide.
i agree with dropout surfer. this song is totally about suicide. first of all, this guy is obviously depressed: he wants to leave it all behind, and don't look back, and forget everything.
and it seems like he's going to jump from a building or something, because in movies and stuff (i've never heard about it in real life) when people jump from really high places they scream out "geronimo"... why? i dont know, maybe it is related with something in the book "the last of the mohoawkans" where the indian warrior geronimo appears. i dont know, i've never read the book.
also the "here i go" parte before "geronimo" sounds like 'catch me cause here i go'. im not really sure about this last thing because my english sucks and that's what i understand. but im pretty pretty sure this is about suicide, jumping from a bridge or something... or at least wanting to .
this is the 2nd best song off Elva after Up All Night...i dont really know what it means though.
I like this song. I think it is about knowing someone is going to break up with you but you don't want to hear because you need this person more than ever.("I don't want to hear those words you say. What were they anyway") Just being so depressed (Don't want to get out of bed today. Seems much harder than it was yesterday") you just want to leave and never come back ("Let's leave today and forget everything. Can't really take this place.Let's leave it all behind and dont look back. we won't rewind this time. Let's get away")
it's a good song but it's definately not my favourite.
i think this song is about trying to forget something or somewhere...
CAYA has a point. When I broke up with my girlfriend this was the first song that came to mind for her, and after about a week we got back togther. Her song for that was Calin.
But yeah you wouldn't want to think about it if someone broke up with up. Just think of how bare and naked you would feel after giving you heart away. It would kill you inside like a hapachi Indian warior. (GERONIMO) And getting out of bed would just suck knowing that you won't wake up next to your lover.
Great song about just wanting to get away. Goes hand in hand with Walrus from the new album. This song as well as all the others is amazing on Music From High Places. They do a perfect vocal harmony live in one take! Awesome. UL and JEW have the best vocals, and Ben Gibbard is pretty good as well!
