@[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.
Immature come again
With another one ya heard
That's right
Ninety nine for you mind
You can not bring back no oh broken heart
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
(You tried to play on me you tried to play on me)
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Temptations of a broken heart oh oh
(Wha wha what?)
(What? What? What? What? What?)
It started out as a normal argument to make me mad
You messed with him, the lies you told
You got caught, not gonna clown
Just tempted to play back on you
Girl it's plain (It's plain)
What are you trying to prove?
You messed with me
He'll mess with you too

1 - Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I didn't mean to do you wrong
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring back my love
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I can not think, too much on me
Never thought of love like this
(Yeah, yeah)
Would last so long but I am wrong
Truly I can fix the love we had
But you did me wrong
I brought the best out of you
That's why you want me back
I ran a game but I apologize
You ran a game but you told me lies
Repeat 1
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back
You can not bring back my love
You can not bring back
I didn't mean to do you wrong
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring it back to me, oh yeah
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
You said you had a love for me
But when we fell out, you played games on me
And it's clear to see, that what you do when it's killing me
Now it's too late, what's done is done
You cannot bring back my love cause I have a broken heart
You don't know where I been, Ra-Ra back again
Came to set it straight, straight
Sippin on Cavace
Niggaz all about that pay
Ride to the top with no V8
Be mad, top 6, double 0 for the day
Tell me, tell me, tell me, what you gotta say
Took my love for granted, granted
Now I'm about to let you have this
Now I got plenty girls, want to take me all around the world
You want me back it's too late
Found a chick to take your place
It's a girl from around the way
Told you ain't got time to play, what?
Repeat 1 till end

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
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
