@[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.
All of a sudden, suddenly
All of a sudden is way too soon
Suddenly, my sunburned knees
Are planted in the ground
What’s the hurry? Come on, baby
Stay a little longer cause I
Don’t want to hear maybes
Next time you come around
And the last time that I’ll see the light of day
Is the last time that you go away
And the last letter that I receive
Is that the last time I’ll believe
In all those magic fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox?
In the sandbox
Begging for you to choose
Another path to take
I tell you that I love you
That you’re making a mistake
Beggars can’t be choosers
Now you leave me, I’m a loser
How far since the day you met me
I’ve come to the day you left me
Baby, please don’t go quite yet
I haven’t said all that needs to be said
If you go, please just know
The scars you’ve left, the pain you’ve left me with
But just know, friend or foe
I don’t want to be either, cause that means you mean something to me
And if I lie to myself and I keep living that lie
Maybe that lie will come alive
And now I have to ask
Will the last time that I see the light of day
be the last time that you go away?
And the last letter that I receive
Is that the last time I’ll believe
In all those magic fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox?
In the sandbox
And the moment that my fist breaks through the plaster
Say goodbye to valentines and happily ever afters
Say goodbye to dozens of roses, they’re now potpourri Shredded to pieces like scented confetti
I’m better off with those fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox
In the sandbox
On a merry go round
With the merry scratched out
All of a sudden is way too soon
Suddenly, my sunburned knees
Are planted in the ground
What’s the hurry? Come on, baby
Stay a little longer cause I
Don’t want to hear maybes
Next time you come around
And the last time that I’ll see the light of day
Is the last time that you go away
And the last letter that I receive
Is that the last time I’ll believe
In all those magic fantasies
I believed in
Sitting in the sandbox?
In the sandbox
Begging for you to choose
Another path to take
I tell you that I love you
That you’re making a mistake
Beggars can’t be choosers
Now you leave me, I’m a loser
How far since the day you met me
I’ve come to the day you left me
Baby, please don’t go quite yet
I haven’t said all that needs to be said
If you go, please just know
The scars you’ve left, the pain you’ve left me with
But just know, friend or foe
I don’t want to be either, cause that means you mean something to me
And if I lie to myself and I keep living that lie
Maybe that lie will come alive

In the sandbox
On a merry go round
With the merry scratched out

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
