@[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 keeps to himself these days
Doesn't have much to talk about
But he tells himself over and again
"She'll be here soon."
Emotions are all the same
Maybe just love and lonliness
But that enlightenment doesn't help at all
It just makes it worse when she's not around
That's when the sky cries for him and
The lightning strikes
He's mesmerized
Oh, super me
You're all that I long to
Tries not to think too much
Everything makes him think of her
When reason escapes him
Love takes it's place
He's got a frame of mind
Which captures the bigger picture
But that enlightenment doesn't help at all
It just makes it worse when she's not around
That's when the sky cries for him and
The lightning strikes
He's mesmerized
If the end of the world came crashing down on him
He'd welcome it
With open arms like an old friend
And oh, super me
You're all that I long to be
Searching the skies and to my surprise
We always end up
In each other's arms
You help me to the discern
As I fall apart
You willed me to start again, again
That's when the sky cries for him
The lightning strikes him down
With open arms like an old friend
Doesn't have much to talk about
But he tells himself over and again
"She'll be here soon."

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."
