@[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.
I'll crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed
I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need
I'll breathe for you
Die if you want to
I'll mourn with you by my grave
I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
I've come to you to be saved
They say I
Sold my soul
And we all reap
What we sow
I'll shine for you
Burn if you want to
You'll be the prize for my pain
I'll kill your God
And pray for salvation
I'll be the in to your sane
I'll lie for you
Be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame
I won't ask for
Faith or forgiveness
I'll be the blood in your veins
They say I
lost my way
I'll wait for
Judgment day
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
I'll be your darkness
In the night
I'll be a vampire calling
In the dead of night
I'll be your demon
Shadow man
I'll be your one confession
And if I can
I'll be your nightmare
And scream for you
I'll be your one possession
If you want me to
I'll be your secret
Memory
I'll be your exhibition of atrocity
They say I
Sold my soul
And we all reap
What we sow
They say I
Lost my way
I'll wait for
Judgment day
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
Don't pray for my soul
They kneel down, praise God
Shout 'Hallelujah'
Lift up their eyes while they pray
When children kill children
Don't it make them wonder?
Don't it make them question their faith?
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed
I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need
I'll breathe for you

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think this one is pretty straightforward. The whole song is about having faith. Doing whatever is asked of you by the person you put your faith in. But by doing whatever is asked, he sort of forgets about reason and does bad things. He doesn't want any people to pray for his soul since it isn't worth much.
