@[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.
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands
She's just a woman, never again
I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands
She's just a woman, never again
Been there before but not like this
Seen it before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands
Lookin' just as sweet as he can, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Never again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard don't hit a lady?
Kicking your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fuckin' tough is this man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Never again, never again
No, never again
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands
She's just a woman, never again
I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands
She's just a woman, never again
Been there before but not like this
Seen it before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room with those hands
Lookin' just as sweet as he can, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Never again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard don't hit a lady?
Kicking your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fuckin' tough is this man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman, never again
Never again, never again
No, never again

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."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Father's a name you haven't earned yet You're just a child with a temper Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"? Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
amazing line. i can totally relate.
this song reminds me of "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Domestic violence. Nickelback really has an interisting choice of themes. I think it's really good they chose this one, though. The only part that I don't get is when he says "She's just a women". Does he mean that because she is a women she shouldn't go through such things? Cause that wouldn't fit, usually it's the male partner that beats his wife up. Does anyone has ideas about that one?
As in, "she's just a woman, she can't fight back you stupid fuck"
"She's just a woman" is a direct plea from the narrator (Chad) to the perpetrator (the abuser). Kind of a man-to-man thing.
I think when he says,"She's just a woman...never again", he is referring to the fact she is no longer just a woman. She is a victim of abuse. She is his punching bag. He no longer sees her as just a woman. She will no longer see herself as just a woman, either. She will see herself as broken, hurt, damaged....
He means. "She's just a woman" as in, she shouldn't be treated like that
Pretty simple set of lyrics about domestic violence. Chad and his brother grew up in Hannah, Alberta, a few hours away from Edmonton or Calgary (take your pick). Most of their early stuff is about what they lived through in a small town before they got famous - primarily shitty relationships, drinking problems, and drugs.
i've been there, i can remember the first time my mom sent me back to bed, and i thought she'd be dead by next morning, and i'd still like to put a bulllet through my stepdad's head.
right on jacgrrl! the song talks about an abusive husband who liked to drink. his poor wife got smacked often and she tried to protect the kid by sending him/her to the room. finally the wife had it and blew the husband away with a gun. i think she should've just divorced him!
While I haven't actually heard this song (yet), the words cause this image in my head resembling the video to "Thunder Rolls" by Garth Brooks. My own situation has been fairly decent, hubby knows better than to lay a hand on me. NO one, man or woman deserves to be beaten.. But tell me, what kind of a song would this have made if it just ended in divorce? Needed the extra impact.. can't wait to hear it set to music.. =)
I think this song is good, I mean its not good shes gettin beaten but its good that ppl r realizing dat this is happening, the thing is dont understand is how can a man do that to a woman, its just not right!
This song is great. I heard it once when a friend played the cd and I just had to look up the lyrics. Although I have never been put through this type of situation (thankfully), I have seen the effects which it has...My father had a druken and abusive father, he died when my father was only 15. Although I never met him, I do see the effects that this one person has had on an entire family...So if your ever in this situation please talk to someone, don't be to scared to stand up for you rights and get outta there!
This song hits extremely close to home with me. I was adopted when I was two years because my abusive father was a little too abusive one dark fall night in '78. I consider myself to be lucky, given that I was spared the influences of alcoholism by my biological parents due to my father's death and my mother's imprisonment. Anyway, this song is my life in a nutshell.
