@[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.
We were looking for a room
We were looking for a hotel
We were in between
We were a few chosen
Somewhere to fit in
Something that's fitting
After one day it started itching
And we rubbed until it was bleeding
And we laughed
At the moonlight far beyond
And we ran through
The moonlight far beyond
We were looking for something to blow up
We were looking for someone to follow
We were had one way out
We were some hours left
We were so close
We knew we were chosen
We aimed for high speed
And for someone who could catch me
We were looking for a hotel
We were in between
We were a few chosen
Somewhere to fit in
Something that's fitting
After one day it started itching
And we rubbed until it was bleeding
And we laughed
At the moonlight far beyond
And we ran through
The moonlight far beyond
We were looking for something to blow up
We were looking for someone to follow
We were had one way out
We were some hours left
We were so close
We knew we were chosen
We aimed for high speed
And for someone who could catch me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I can actually see the pagan feeling that someone else mentioned on here, moonlight and all. Maybe that's hearkening back to the idea of a witch's coven when they would gather in the moonlight ("and we laughed at the moonlight"). Could also be referring to the heathenesque/pagan idea of releasing all inhibitions and self-control to have fun at night.
I mainly think of this as a night gone wrong. The beginning part reminds me of an ambulance or emergency siren of some type.
The lyrics sound like the description of one of the "girls" to an emergency responder of what happened as she is in panic over one of her friends' injury of some sort. People panic and don't speak clearly, but you can' make out what they're trying to say: "We were looking for a room we were looking for a hotel we were in between we were a few chosen somewhere to fit in something that's fitting after one day it started itching and we rubbed until it was bleeding " etc.
I like the line "we were a few chosen". I hang out with teenage girls and they do think they're somehow "chosen" or something really elite and special. I also really like "somewhere to fit in". It gives the slight anxious feeling in the song that maybe not all of the girls or any of them wanted to be doing what they were doing (getting STDs etc.) but they just wanted to fit in. It's the unspoken mantra of every teenager. Add that with the voices in the background chanting (out...night out....)and it's buckets of peer pressure!
