@[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.
I threw her away on the second we met
I couldn't have lied, I tried I was cashing a check
The ink was smeared, the lines were drawn and scribbled unclear
A cancellation, its time to learn to fly
Now that I've decided that you cant be trusted
One by one, wasn't that fun, this party dies, fades away
Late night phone calls that end in surprise
I can't believe you would give up your dignity
Just to take a ride with me
And how does it feel to be used
Climb in the back seat like luggage
Whores don't trip, they bleed on the tapestry
Whores don't trip, they bleed at the bar
Its your persistence that makes me sick its not the sight of your face
And now I am so faint caught up in just this way
I know that you can be more then this
This wasn't what I wanted you said I sewed that dream alive
Climb farther into hate is it this back seat making you itch
Morals become something from a dream
this isn't the way to blow off steam its all in your head
Give up this is making me sick my patience is wearing thin
I will be leaving you now stay away for long
Drag his body down to the mill,
Cut the ice with counterfeit bills, I'll take my share
Like lightning bolts that strike down in pairs
This is all justified
Step aside and watched the lie
This is all justified
Wont heal in time, this is all justified now
Stationed wit. I believe will go there
Now were all afraid to see why we can't give it up
But now your shirt comes off
I need something more tonight then your word
I couldn't have lied, I tried I was cashing a check
The ink was smeared, the lines were drawn and scribbled unclear
A cancellation, its time to learn to fly
Now that I've decided that you cant be trusted
One by one, wasn't that fun, this party dies, fades away
Late night phone calls that end in surprise
I can't believe you would give up your dignity
Just to take a ride with me
And how does it feel to be used
Climb in the back seat like luggage
Whores don't trip, they bleed on the tapestry
Whores don't trip, they bleed at the bar
Its your persistence that makes me sick its not the sight of your face
And now I am so faint caught up in just this way
I know that you can be more then this
This wasn't what I wanted you said I sewed that dream alive
Climb farther into hate is it this back seat making you itch
Morals become something from a dream
this isn't the way to blow off steam its all in your head
Give up this is making me sick my patience is wearing thin
I will be leaving you now stay away for long
Drag his body down to the mill,
Cut the ice with counterfeit bills, I'll take my share
Like lightning bolts that strike down in pairs
This is all justified
Step aside and watched the lie
This is all justified
Wont heal in time, this is all justified now
Stationed wit. I believe will go there
Now were all afraid to see why we can't give it up
But now your shirt comes off
I need something more tonight then your word

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
