@[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.
Enough of all that, let's switch up the format,
And talk some more trash, I'm getting bored fast
Ain't gonna talk gats, just hand-to-hand combat,
Man-to-man full contact, on the floor mat,
Your weak blows are all deflectable,
I'll go toe-to-toe with you, at your own dojo,
Want none of you bozos at my show,
with some silly hoe shakin' her ass up in my video
I didn't kick flows in the cold until my lips froze,
So folk can always tell me how my shit goes
I grab a pencil like it's a pistol
But this way it isn't problem if it hits you
Chorus
You won't see what you want from me,
So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" cause'
It don't mean a thing
Your lies is all I despise,
Been fightin' guys like you all my life and
They don't mean a thing.
My best shit ain't even on my set list,
Cus half the listeners can't even get this,
So what! you sold records, you ain't respected,
It went too far and tried too hard to be accepted,
This can never be a thing of jealousy,
Just don't be tellin' me to check the melody,
I got the better beats, got the better rhymes,
I made sure I bettered mine ahead of time
So what's up kid? Your big head's been busted,
Don't get disgusted, I'm just servin' justice.
Chorus
So don't attempt, to beg for my pardon,
Cause' I'll keep talkin' til' my arteries harden,
I've takin' losses, told off some bosses,
Sick of all them jobs that all make me nauseous,
It ain't worth it, workin' for your purpose,
For cash I'm hurtin', future's uncertain,
So I keep searching, livin' and learnin',
Earnest to earn everything I'm deservin'
If I can't be on the stage with my band jammin',
I'll be standin' on the street corner panhandlin'!
Chorus 2x
And talk some more trash, I'm getting bored fast
Ain't gonna talk gats, just hand-to-hand combat,
Man-to-man full contact, on the floor mat,
Your weak blows are all deflectable,
I'll go toe-to-toe with you, at your own dojo,
Want none of you bozos at my show,
with some silly hoe shakin' her ass up in my video
I didn't kick flows in the cold until my lips froze,
So folk can always tell me how my shit goes
I grab a pencil like it's a pistol
But this way it isn't problem if it hits you
Chorus
You won't see what you want from me,
So don't come to me with "what's it all mean?" cause'
It don't mean a thing
Your lies is all I despise,
Been fightin' guys like you all my life and

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."

Jeez, who ever wrote these lyrics are deaf! They're REALY wrong, horrific even! Here's the correct lyrics, I practically had to re-write 'em!:
Enough of all that, let’s switch up the format with songs that, Make you look far past the forecast Ain’t gonna talk gats, just hand-to-hand combat Man-to-man full contact on the floor mat Your low blows are all deflectable I'll go toe-to-toe with you at your own dojo Want none of you bozos at my show With some silly hoe shakin' her ass up in my video I didn’t know, with her itty-bitty clothes, Take off your Playdo but you’ll still be pretty though I used to kick flows out in the cold until my lips froze Folks memorize my poems like they zip codes I grab a pen and pencil, like it's a pistol And I’m known on a dance floor at a disco
You won't see what you want from me, So don't come to me with what's it all mean ‘cos It don't mean a thing Your lies is all I despise, been fightin' guys like you all my life and They don't mean a thing
My best shit ain't even on my set list, You reckless listeners can't even get this, So what you sold records you ain't respected, You went too far and tried too hard to be accepted, Kids who cried for you now laugh at you So be glad that I got signed after you ‘Cos if I didn’t then you wouldn’t have half the pull But for now we’re putting it down on capitol This can never be a thing of jealousy Just don't be tellin' me to check the melody I got the better beats, got the better rhymes, You ain’t heard nuthin’ this fine since Sublime So what's up kid? Your ego’s been busted, Don't get disgusted, I'm just servin' justice.
You won't see what you want from me, So don't come to me with what's it all mean ‘cos It don't mean a thing Your lies is all I despise, been fightin' guys like you all my life and They don't mean a thing
My soul bleeds to expand my whole fame If I can I’ll be doin’ this until I’m an old man So don't attempt, to beg for my pardon, ’Cos I'll keep talkin' til' my arteries harden, I've takin' losses, told off some bosses, Sick of all you thoughts, you all make me nauseous, It ain't worth it, workin' for your purpose, For cash I'm hurtin', future's uncertain, So I keep searching, livin' and learnin', Earnest, to earn everything I'm deservin' If I can't be on the stage with my band jammin', I'll be standin' on the street corner panhandlin'
You won't see what you want from me, So don't come to me with what's it all mean ‘cos It don't mean a thing Your lies is all I despise, been fightin' guys like you all my life and They don't mean a thing
You won't see what you want from me, So don't come to me with what's it all mean ‘cos It don't mean a thing Your lies is all I despise, been fightin' guys like you all my life and They don't mean a thing
This seems to be a pretty generic "I'm gonna blow you away with my rhymes" song, which is kind of ironic seeing how they're talking down the generic rap shit, while rapping generic shit. Either way, it's a decent song to bump to, and something that isn't played 100 times a week.
Whoever wrote them wasn't deaf, for some reason there's two versions of the song labeled exactly the same floating around.
