@[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.
Trippin', trippin', trippin'
Trippin'
I gotta gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip out of this place
I gotta gotta get away, get away from the human race
I don't know what I'll see, don't even know what I'll find
I don't know what to pack, never been to a trip at the mind
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Well, I'm going insane
I took a wrong turn and I ended up at my heart
It could barely even pump no blood it was so thrashed and torn apart
Thank it for working overtime in pain and misery
Then I set back on the trail, headed for my destiny
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Well, I'm going insane
Well, fly with me
Flying free
Tripping
You must be tripping
Trip, trip, trip, trip, tripping
Tripping
I cannot stop this trip, I forgot to pack the brakes
Crashed straight into a concrete wall of my mistakes
Ended up in a cemetary of a thousand wasted days
But that's alright with me, 'cause that's where most of my memory lays
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain, trip at the brain, trip at the brain
Well, I'm going insane
Gonna trip, tripping going tripping going tripping tripping tripping going
Everybody's tripping, everybody's saying
Everybody's gonna be tripping, tripping tripping tripping gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Fly with me
Flying free
Gotta get away
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get away
I gotta get away, gotta get away
I'm gonna take that trip
Welcome 'cause I'm the host with the most
Now here's a little toast take your messages and put you're mind on coast
I'll exorcise your fears make your nightmares disappear
You can talk all you want
But nothing do I really hear
A situation, this operation
A simple demonstration in experimentation
I slip, trip, slip, trip every little dip
There's nothing like a lobotomy
To keep a person free of pain
Financial gain for your personal pain
Well it's so insane but won't you keep all the pain
And slip, fly, trip
Got caught up in another trap
So pay another shrink buy his wife another mink
Let me tell what I think think think, I think
I gotta, gotta get away gotta get away, gotta get away
I'm just trippin' trippin' trippin'
Never volatile, wanna sin with me?
You gotta get away, they say they're gonna freak
But that's between the cheek, gotta trip, gotta trip, gotta trip, gotta...
Gotta make a sound it's a dance mom
Gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip
The real trip ain't about gettin' hip
Gotta trip tripa tripa tripa tripa ha
Sins go slam, goin' down at the chest
Gotta get away gotta get away away
Gotta trip with no permission, mind evaluation
Take your head, add a little crazy
Take that trip to the brain
Take that trip to the brain
Everybody gotta get get off
You gotta gotta gotta take the trip to the brain!
Trippin'

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."

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,
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It's an anti drug song. Muir said it himself. Just read the free styling part of the song.
