@[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.
bring two prix fixe dinners up
I’ll unwrap the plastic cups
it’s just us my love
it’s just us my love
I will clean the room up nice
put your insides all on ice
it was real true love
it was real true love
close all the windows
put signs on the handles
and strip down to my dun-dun-duns
you have gone too far
you have gone so far
and tonight
its just me and the minibar (just up to diminished)
candles from the walmart that
every city has to have
that I bought last night
that I bought last night
I was so excited to
do such normal things with you
when you left last night
with your toothbrush dry
no such details will spoil my plan
that is the kind of girl I am
can you hear room 318...?
man they’re really happening...
they’re a wild bunch
they’re a wild bunch
but if they just knew
what my night was coming too
god would they vomit and run
you have gone too far
you have gone too far
and tonight
it’s just me and the minibar
nobody else
and I sing at the top of my lungs
happy birthday us
happy birthday us
I’ll unwrap the plastic cups
it’s just us my love
it’s just us my love
I will clean the room up nice
put your insides all on ice
it was real true love
it was real true love
close all the windows
put signs on the handles
and strip down to my dun-dun-duns
you have gone too far
you have gone so far
and tonight
its just me and the minibar (just up to diminished)
candles from the walmart that
every city has to have
that I bought last night
that I bought last night
I was so excited to
do such normal things with you
when you left last night
with your toothbrush dry
no such details will spoil my plan
that is the kind of girl I am

man they’re really happening...
they’re a wild bunch
they’re a wild bunch
but if they just knew

you have gone too far

happy birthday us
happy birthday us

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Count on me to come up with the weirdest interpretation of the song...
To me it seems like its her birthday and she wants to spend it with the one she loves but sadly there dead. I'm guessing she died the night before when she bought the candles and everything to celebrate.... So she has the dead body of the person she loved with her. Pretendfing she's stll alive and with her. "put your insides all on ice it was real true love it was real true love"
and then... "but if they just knew what my night was coming too god would they vomit and run you have gone too far"
They would vomit and run if they came in and saw that there was a dead person sitting there with her.
But yeah I'm sure thats not what its about but the first time I heard I thought of this.
@Poop_Face I think it's something along these lines too - I finally caught the line "Put your insides all on ice" the other day and I was like "Wait, what??"
haha to the previous explanation... that's a sick little way of looking at it.
I prefer to think that what happened was that she and her lover made plans and maybe had gone away for a vacation together, but they broke up the night before (when you left last night, with your tooth brush dry). She decides not to let her fun time get ruined (no such details will spoil my plans) but it's obvious she is very lonely and heartbroken about it.
My way of looking at it is that her "man" is gone, somewhere, either dead or broken up with her, and it's their anniversary(happy birthday us). So, she's going to get drunk to forget about him. She "strips down to her dun dun dunns" and then later on when they would "vomit and run" I got that she was either masterbating because she's lonely or just the sight of her depression and her drinking benge would terrifying them.
So basically she's sad and lonely...
... this is the first time I've ever felt sad at a dresden dolls song. The ending is all... sniff
To me it sounds like her man or whoever she was with going to spend the night with her on her birthday, but he left the hotel before the dinner (chances are he ran away, from the sad tone of the song) - but she goes ahead and has her dinner for two without him anyway. She then drinks her way through the minibar, sad and alone, until she collapses.
:'(
It is the narrator's birthday, and she wishes that the person she loves was with her at the hotel she is staying at. She wants to be left alone, and is drinking because the person she loves (in the sixth stanza) is gone. As she drinks her way through the minibar she begins doing something self-destructive that would cause onlookers to 'vomit and run'; perhaps it is cutting herself, or even burning herself with the candle mentioned in the fifth stanza. This song is beautiful and lonesome.

I think this song likely originated from her loneliness from being on the road not only for touring, but for publicity.
I think her reference to "god would they vomit and run" is a bit of a hyperbole, exagerating how she thinks people would react towards what she views as a pathetic evening.
I agree with the 'abandoned on the anniversary' scenario, but after listening to this song a couple of times I figured that 'you' referred interchangeably to the absent lover and the minibar--creating confusion around 'put your insides all on ice', which I suppose refered to the drinks. AS for 'if they just knew what my night was coming to', I don't think it refers to anything specific. It's just a bit of foreshadowing to Amanda's (?) being driven to something drastic by unhappiness and excess of drink.
From what I get from the lyrics, it sounds like "the one she loved" did something to really piss her off "you've gone too far"
and the second verse I will clean the room up nice put your insides all on ice it was real true love it was real true love
"i will clean the room up nice, put your insides all on ice" it sounds like she killed him in the room, and then cleaned up the scene and put his insides on ice, and the whole vomit and run ordeal would probably be from walking in and seeing the mess, thats just what makes sense to me...
Isn't that a sick way of looking at it?
