@[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'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
I'm on the lame train
I'm on the lame train
Well it's 5 o'clock in the mornin'
And I can't fall asleep again
Times are changin' and movin' real fast
Way too fast for me
Seems like only yesterday I was skipping school and stealing gasoline
I've been talking
I guess you call it talking a white lie
One minute I'm on top of the world and the next thing you know
I'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the track you lay are your own
I'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
Nonstop to nowhere
Sometimes I just sit and daydream
And I just slip away from here
If only I had a crystal ball
Or could invent a time machine
I'd go into the future take a good look around
And see what life has in store for me
I've been walking I guess you call it walking a thin line
One minute I'm on top of the world and the next thing you know
I'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
It's like a chain gang
I know the exit but my problems seem to follow me wherever I go
Nonstop to nowhere
I don't believe the preachers they're just sticking out their hands
I don't believe the government and who the hell's this Uncle Sam?
Mr. Conductor will you help me off this train?
Well I believe I'm on the wrong one and it's taking me down the drain
I'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
I'm on the lame train
I got a first class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
It's all carved right in stone (Nonstop to nowhere)
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
I'm on the lame train
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
It's like a chain gang
I know the exit but my problems seem to follow me wherever I go
Nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
Your own
The tracks you lay are your own
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
Your own
The tracks you lay are your own
I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere
Where it takes me I don't know
I guess the tracks you lay are your own
I'm on the lame train
I'm on the lame train
Well it's 5 o'clock in the mornin'

I guess the tracks you lay are your own
Your own
The tracks you lay are your own

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
