@[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.
Midnight here and I'm all alone again
Chain smoking and I'm in my bed
I just wanna disappear here inside of me
Ride out the hopelessness in my head
What you doing with your life you ask me
Baby you're not good enough for me
What's the matter with you, you keep asking
Can't you do better for me, better for me
Can't you do better for me better for me
Black hood up and I'm walking out the door
Head phones on and my beats up loud
Don't you wanna know how I'm truly feeling here
I don't think you do somehow
Who the hell do you think you are, you say
Don't you know that you've got no rights
While you're living under my roof you know
Dumb ba de doobe dad dumb dumb die die
There's a million reasons why I'm feeling down today
Still I wonder if I'll ever feel the same again
Seen a million situations should put me in my place
Guaranteed there's a million more yet to come up in my face
I've gotta change my ways
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up
Burning me inside
I've gotta find my way
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up burning me inside, I've
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up
I've gotta get up from here
Today and I'm taking control again
Patch on my arm in the bright sunlight
There's no way that I'm gonna go under now
Plenty of ways to make a wrong right
No more negative thinking around me
I don't wanna live my life that way
There's too many good people to compensate
All the energy lost
All my energy
There's a million reasons why I'm feeling down today
Still I wonder if I'll ever feel the same again
Seen a million situations should put me in my place
Guaranteed there's a million more yet to blow up in my face
I've gotta change my ways
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up
Burning me inside
I've gotta find my way
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up burning me inside, I've
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up
I've gotta get up from here
Chain smoking and I'm in my bed
I just wanna disappear here inside of me
Ride out the hopelessness in my head
What you doing with your life you ask me
Baby you're not good enough for me
What's the matter with you, you keep asking
Can't you do better for me, better for me
Can't you do better for me better for me
Black hood up and I'm walking out the door
Head phones on and my beats up loud
Don't you wanna know how I'm truly feeling here
I don't think you do somehow
Who the hell do you think you are, you say
Don't you know that you've got no rights
While you're living under my roof you know
Dumb ba de doobe dad dumb dumb die die
There's a million reasons why I'm feeling down today
Still I wonder if I'll ever feel the same again
Seen a million situations should put me in my place
Guaranteed there's a million more yet to come up in my face
I've gotta change my ways
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up
Burning me inside
I've gotta find my way
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up burning me inside, I've
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up
I've gotta get up from here
Today and I'm taking control again
Patch on my arm in the bright sunlight
There's no way that I'm gonna go under now

24 hour life crisis
Burning me up
Burning me inside
I've gotta find my way
24 hour life crisis
Burning me up burning me inside, I've
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up from here
Gotta get up
I've gotta get up from here

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
i cant believe nobody's has left a comment on this
its pretty obvious that this song is about someone who is completely lost in their life and the people around them don't understand and its this person wanting to straighten up their life and get their act together.
i love this song beyond words.
