@[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.
Bleed tears down for dead and gone, explain this tragedy
Injected dose of suicide, cleanse the self of worldly being
Destination lost in life, death now has a name
A trial of mortality ends, we have ourselves to blame
Walk softly in our crossing paths through concealed destiny
Lost regard for life or law results in tragedy
Everyone dies here, arise to kill another day
Affirmation for my hatred for mortality
I long to live another age, to experience what we can not
And see beyond the years without corruption or uncertainty
We'll enter a pure realm beyond
Affirmation of my hatred, trespass against me
Conflicting pathes of judgements passed result in tragedy
Walk softly in our crossing paths through concealed destiny
Lost regard for life, I destroy all I see
Thinking universal thoughts, not those tainted by deceit
A new realm beyond the wall of life,
Our degeneration has no meaning
It shall come and we shall rot like those tainted by deceit
Walking bags of piss and shit will have yourselves to blame
Building dreams on nightmares, you won't trespass against me
Steaming blood and stinking souls, at least a time that all is clear
As we struggle onward through this death
Expire without meeting our true selves
The masses cling to fallacy without the courage to feeling another way
It shall come and we shall rot like those tainted by deceit
Walking bags of piss and shit will have yourselves to blame
Injected dose of suicide, cleanse the self of worldly being
Destination lost in life, death now has a name
A trial of mortality ends, we have ourselves to blame
Walk softly in our crossing paths through concealed destiny
Lost regard for life or law results in tragedy
Everyone dies here, arise to kill another day
Affirmation for my hatred for mortality
I long to live another age, to experience what we can not
And see beyond the years without corruption or uncertainty
We'll enter a pure realm beyond
Affirmation of my hatred, trespass against me
Conflicting pathes of judgements passed result in tragedy
Walk softly in our crossing paths through concealed destiny
Lost regard for life, I destroy all I see
Thinking universal thoughts, not those tainted by deceit
A new realm beyond the wall of life,
Our degeneration has no meaning
It shall come and we shall rot like those tainted by deceit
Walking bags of piss and shit will have yourselves to blame
Building dreams on nightmares, you won't trespass against me
Steaming blood and stinking souls, at least a time that all is clear
As we struggle onward through this death
Expire without meeting our true selves
The masses cling to fallacy without the courage to feeling another way
It shall come and we shall rot like those tainted by deceit
Walking bags of piss and shit will have yourselves to blame

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,
