@[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 never wanted
And I never cared before
I never wanted
And I never cared before (take it back this is a new day)
I never wanted
And I never cared before (Take it back this is)
How I long to regress
To the days before I took upon myself
The obsessions of this world (for tomorrow)
A day of innocence equating beauty (may fall)
For tomorrow may fall (and today)
And today is already gone (is already gone)
Tomorrow may fall
Today is already gone
(Take it back this is a new day)
I never wanted (this is a new day)
And I never cared before
I never wanted
And I never cared before
I've grown tired of chasing
Convinced I was in need
And now the years I've spent
Only a slave to this
Tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
I will no longer
Adore to these things that will never satisfy me
I have seen my world change
And then go back to where it came
In this vicious circle we are
Brought back to life only to die
In this vicious circle we are
Brought back to life only to die (die again)
In this vicious circle we are
Brought back to life only to die
In this vicious circle we are (but without these barren obsessions)
Brought back to life only to die (I am simply, I am simply free)
I have seen my world change
And then go back to where it came
And I never cared before
I never wanted
And I never cared before (take it back this is a new day)
I never wanted
And I never cared before (Take it back this is)
How I long to regress
To the days before I took upon myself
The obsessions of this world (for tomorrow)
A day of innocence equating beauty (may fall)
For tomorrow may fall (and today)
And today is already gone (is already gone)
Tomorrow may fall
Today is already gone
(Take it back this is a new day)

In this vicious circle we are

Brought back to life only to die (die again)
In this vicious circle we are

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"the obsessions of this world" "only a slave to this" (think "this" is the need) "these things that will never satisfy me"
I think all of these sentences show that it's not about a girl, but rather about singer's life. Think that he's talking about material needs (even world OBSESSION), he's a slave to these things, and they don't satisfy him.
The NEW DAY is the day he changed. The day he stopped to adore these false needs, and care about something he didn't care about before.
"take it back": take all the material needs i have, take all my owns, 'cause tomorrow could be the last day. I can die tomorrow, and these things won't help me. (that's here i think he's also talking about God, the one he cares about now that will save him even tomorrow falls).
People who believe in material needs won't be saved...'cause these things will return to dust like 'em. But now he's free from all these needs.
