Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Sometimes it's hard to find that perfect opening line
When you've got too much on your mind
How do I turn this into poetry
I wanna say something about this strange dream that I dreamt
Where all around the world I went
I tried to run and no one followed me
Today I sat on your porch and waited for you to come home
And the cars they drove along
One by one in endless lines
Transporting papers, pills, and children back and forth
From south to north
A caravan of separates lives
And then I felt how small we are oh
Then I felt how small we are oh
Baby bay take me out
Tonight tonight the stars are bright
The world is made of glass and ice and maybe soon
It'll all be shattered
Make me feel like I belong like I matter to someone
And feel a little less alone come on let's be alone together
I'm thinking nobody will miss us when we're gone
Well, for a while, but not for long
People will sing without us listening
And people will drink and laugh on sunny afternoons
On those first sweet days of June
Before the northern wind start drifting in
Can you feel how small we are, oh
Can you feel how small we are, oh
Baby baby take me out tonight tonight the stars are bight
And maybe maybe we're not gonna matter more than this, not ever
Maybe maybe no one will ever find the traces we might leave behind
But tonight I just don't mind
Come on let's be alone together
Can you feel how small we are
Don't you know how small we are
When you've got too much on your mind
How do I turn this into poetry
I wanna say something about this strange dream that I dreamt
Where all around the world I went
I tried to run and no one followed me
Today I sat on your porch and waited for you to come home
And the cars they drove along
One by one in endless lines
Transporting papers, pills, and children back and forth
From south to north
A caravan of separates lives
And then I felt how small we are oh
Then I felt how small we are oh
Baby bay take me out
Tonight tonight the stars are bright
The world is made of glass and ice and maybe soon
It'll all be shattered
Make me feel like I belong like I matter to someone
And feel a little less alone come on let's be alone together
I'm thinking nobody will miss us when we're gone
Well, for a while, but not for long
People will sing without us listening
And people will drink and laugh on sunny afternoons
On those first sweet days of June
Before the northern wind start drifting in
Can you feel how small we are, oh
Can you feel how small we are, oh
Baby baby take me out tonight tonight the stars are bight
And maybe maybe we're not gonna matter more than this, not ever
Maybe maybe no one will ever find the traces we might leave behind
But tonight I just don't mind
Come on let's be alone together
Can you feel how small we are
Don't you know how small we are

@[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.
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."
