This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When I was twelve
While checkin' the mail
I was admiring the car
Of the man next door
And thinking to myself
One of these days
Gonna have me a house like that
With a big red door
And his lawn was mowed
And his grass was green
And the driveway was edged
And all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
I had a crush on his wife
And I played ball with his son
I pondered how much money he made
Went inside and turned the TV on
And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said
He had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said one more thing to say
I was watching TV
Watching one of Mom's famous rice krispie treats
Watchin' Tom and Jerry
I heard a car horn beep
I ran to the window
His wife and son were home
With bags of stuff they got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I leapt off the steps
And asked his son could he played
And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son
I guess it'll be ok
That beautiful woman
She walked in that beautiful house
When I realized I forgot my hat I said I'll be back and turned around
And he was laying
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said
He had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say
There was screaming
There was crying
There was sirens
I thought I was dreamin'
And the sun was shinin'
It was a beautiful day
The wife was talking to an officer
And through the noise I heard her say
And he was laying
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said
He had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said
I got one more thing to say
And he was laying
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said
He had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said
And he was laying
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said
He had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say
While checkin' the mail
I was admiring the car
Of the man next door
And thinking to myself
One of these days
Gonna have me a house like that

And his lawn was mowed
And his grass was green
And the driveway was edged
And all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly

@[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 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 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."

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.
Yeah, I agree. Good song.
