@[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.
Dear Mother and Father, if you're reading this now
You probably just got home from God Knows where
And Went into my room to tell me
How tired you both are and how tired I make you both
Seem to think, I'm a problem to solve
But I don't want to be this thing that has to
Step over glass to prove, I'm not always wrong
It's not my fault I was born
I tried to tear off my own skin and only made you confused
Well, I am confused too; you act like you never use to
Hit me in anger, you broke my belief in any comfort or safety or sense of relief
You, you called me a liar, you called me a thief
I better run for my life, I'd rather live in the street
You never listened to me; you only hear what you want to hear
Remember the dream that I told you I had
With the old man with the jacket, that had a navy patch
I pissed myself for a year; you said it's only a dream
You have to grow up sometime; you have to be a man like me
A man like you who sticks his head in the sand to disappear
Who thinks the danger goes away, if you can't see the things you fear
If I could be a man like that I'd stay and force you
To ignore all of these burns on my skin, that you confuse with discipline
I won't destroy your illusion, destroy your mystic
You'll have to learn to live without one more unfortunate freak
You, You called me a loser, you called me sick
I'd get more love in the street, get more affection sucking dick
You never listened to me; you only hear what you want to hear
I will not take my own life to validate what you have done
Won't let the sins of the Father become those of the son
You, you called me depressive, you called me weak
You're better off without the love of this unfortunate freak
You never listened to me; someone will listen to me
Someone will listen to me
Someone will…listen to me
Someone will listen to me
Someone will listen to me
Someone will listen to me
Someone will listen to me
Someone Will….

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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
In my opinion, this song is basically a letter. It starts off to both his mom and dad, but as the song progresses, we see that this song is about the wrongs of the father. The father is telling the son to be someone, that he wants him to be. But the father is a hypocrite and is trying to mold the son.
