@[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.
She said I wonder when it'll be my day
Cause I'm not too far from breaking down
And all I've got are screams inside
But somehow they come out and smile
And I'm wondering if I'll always feel this way (this way)
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Maybe you've fallen down
Maybe you, you took the long way home
Baby you could never love you,
Like me.
One day this will fade away
And the mirror you'll see your smiling face and standing next to you will always be me.
One day you're gonna see things my way
you gave me so much room that I can breathe
And all I've got are pictures to view
There was nothing before and I've started with you
For some reason it's supposed to be that way
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Be me
If I could shrink it down and put it in your head
We made it hurt so much I can't forget the past
Just tell me what to say
Show me what to do
Then I can forgive me and I can forgive you.
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Will always always be me
Will always be mee yeah
You know it'll always be me
Always be me
Always always always be me
See you're smiling face
Cause I'm not too far from breaking down
And all I've got are screams inside
But somehow they come out and smile
And I'm wondering if I'll always feel this way (this way)
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Maybe you've fallen down
Maybe you, you took the long way home
Baby you could never love you,
Like me.
One day this will fade away
And the mirror you'll see your smiling face and standing next to you will always be me.
One day you're gonna see things my way
you gave me so much room that I can breathe
And all I've got are pictures to view
There was nothing before and I've started with you
For some reason it's supposed to be that way
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Be me
If I could shrink it down and put it in your head
We made it hurt so much I can't forget the past
Just tell me what to say
Show me what to do
Then I can forgive me and I can forgive you.
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me.
(chorus)
Will always always be me
Will always be mee yeah
You know it'll always be me
Always be me
Always always always be me
See you're smiling face

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
he wonders when her world will fall apart like his..he's angry...but when he holds in the anger comes out in a smile when he thinks of her..... he wants her to tell him do u ever think of me and dream of me like the way i dream bout you... cause he stays up awake and alone
havent seen the video to this yet... but sounds like they followed each other home( or maybe u jus took the long way home)... and one day this will fade away in the mirror you'll see a smilin face and standin next to you will always be me--- he only sees himself with her in the future no matter how bad the past was
One day you're gonna see things my way--everything he ever told her was going to happen... it has and will happen... he wants her to see life the way he does..... you gave me so much room that I can breathe--- she left him he maybe said he needed space but he gave her so much of it that he misses her And all I've got are pictures to view-- self explanatory There was nothing before and I've started with you-- first love For some reason it's supposed to be that way
If I could shrink it down and put it in your head We made it hurt so much I can't forget the past Just tell me what to say Show me what to do Then I can forgive me and I can forgive you.--- he wants her to see all his mistakes and forgive him and start over.... and he knows she has mistakes and wants her to ask forgiveness as well
and in the end when it all comes down.. they both know the love in each other hearts and will start over fresh one day...it'll be like old times like lookin in the mirror and being themselves
