@[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.
We walked through the doorway
Heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom
Not breathing at all
I drug your body to the cellar where we lay
The wax, it melts away
I kiss your face.
Now we are starting to love you more
Your body's on the canvas
I painted on the floor
Now you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong.
If I could take you somewhere
I'd take you to the darkest place
Scatter you in art forms
Admire the whore
Beauty in different ways
Your hands on picture frames
Your eyes in the glass
Wear your face has a mask
Now they are starting to love you more
A gallery of your beauty
No charge at the door
As you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong
And down below
Your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold (Your face is pale, your body's cold)
Wait, like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong [x10]

(Odd to mention, but im listening to Pandora, as I opened the page for this song, it started playing)
For the record, I don't know if Ronnie ever confirmed the official lyrics for this song But the biggest inconsistency in the song is the line "Admire the whore" Which makes the song, one: less sweet, and two: grammatically incorrect
The next line is "Beauty in different ways" And that's a sentence fragment, and sounds awkward Now if the lyric was actually "Admire your.... Beauty in different ways" This would make much more sense and would be consistent with the feel of the song
Also, though this song is supposed to be creepily romantic, I've never heared Ronnie ever refer to a woman, especially one he loves, as a whore. That would be beyond creepy, that would be being a general douche
Just my thought
