@[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.
one night while i lay sleeping
a phantom ghost came creeping
he entered through my door
and tiptoed across the floor
and when he reached where i lay
he leaned right to my ear
so softly he seemed to say
his words were very clear
hi me he said, how you been
its been so long slap some skin
my goodness how you've grown
and hasn't time really flown
i've come to tell you what's what
and really fuck with your head
tell you what's hot and what's not
you're gonna wish you were dead
[Chorus]
hello - welcome to my ego
wherever i go, he goes
ain't it just so creepy, freaky-deaky
oh no - now we're out to control
acting like an arsehole
welcome to the show!
now looking in the mirror
face to face with the horror
its Apocalypse Now
but starring Stephen Chow
this guy is really scary
this weirdo's freaking me out
his asian body's hairy
its fricking creeping me out
i don't know who this dude thinks
he's trying to fool and convince
his bullshit just doesn't stick
and how big his dick is
how sick his shit is (shit)
how slick his hit is (hit)
how fit his bitch is (fit)
think he should mind his business
[Chorus]
last night right after the show
i had to let myself go
i got too needy wouldn't leave me
just a second alone
but i still sleep with myself
that's kinda complicated
i steal her blankets as well
that gets me so frustrated
no touchy touch but who knows
what goes on while i'm sleeping
block your nose slide in and watch
me softly gently breathe in
write poetry and sweet prose
and sent it to myself
we'll always be together
cause there's nobody else
[Chorus] x 3
g'day mate
do you know what day it is?
are you going mad?
are you getting much sleep?

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."
No Surprises

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is a great song, clearly obvious what its about, his ego, i love this song.
So you know, it is Stephen Chow, not Steven Chow
this song makes me think quan was losing the plot from being a 'band in a bubble' too long
