@[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.
Half past eight
And you're late
Coffee's cold
What a state
They've dragged you down
Fate's got you scraped
Worked to death
Can't you turn those words around?
Or alternatively ask yourself
Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?
My dear
Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?
Uh-oh
The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us who still believe we can
And it matters what you do
When they all look down on you
'Cos it's better that you've come from nothing
Than nothing's come from you
Come with us
Come with us

Please take your seats
All aboard
Tickets please we're leaving town
Those may oppose
We can leave those fools back home
Don't turn around
Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?
Uh-oh
The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us who still believe we can
And it matters what you do
When they all look down on you
'Cos it's better that you've come from nothing
Than nothing comes from you
Come with us

We've got a place and it's here for you
For peace and love believers and for dreamers too

You just open your eyes and the light comes and takes you away

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."
