@[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.
Cinderella are you really that happy?
Cinderella are you really that lucky?
I want to know is your life like you dreamed?
Here I am, trying to find my way,
I've kissed so many frogs but I never found a prince.
I think they lied, I was promised much more than this,
where's my happy ever after? Oh..
Cinderella is the queen of a kingdom,
Cinderella got the dreams she was dreaming,
I want to know where is my happy end?
Cinderella got a prince and a kingdom,
Cinderella got the dreams she was dreaming,
I want to know where is my fairy-tale?
Something's wrong 'cause all my glass shoes break,
and no one has ever helped this damsel in distress,
the hell with this, I'm not gonna waste more time,
I won't wait to find prince charming!

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
No comments? Jeez. I love this song. I think it's about how parent's fill their daughter's head with fairy tales, and then when they are older, they never get that fairy tale ending they were expecting.
Yeah, this is what I think: Cinderella are you really that happy Cinderella are you really that lucky I wanna know is your life like you dreamed
She's wondering if 'happily-ever-afters' are really that great anyway. And she's thinking 'did Cinderella ever want her life to turn out like that?'
Here I am Trying to find my way I've kissed so many frogs but I've never found a prince I think they lied I was promised much more than this Where's my happy-ever-after?
She's saying that she's kissed so many guys, but they've never turned out to be the right one. Fairy tales give you promises that everyone finds their prince charming, and she hasn't found hers so she thinks they lied. They promised her a happy ending, and she hasn't gotten it.
Cinderella is the queen of a kingdom Cinderella got the dream she was dreamin' I wanna know where is my happy end Cinderella got a prince and a kingdom Cinderella got the dream she was dreamin' I wanna know where is my fairy-tale?
Now she's saying that Cinderella got her happy ending, so where's hers?
Something's wrong 'cause all my glass shoes break And no one's ever helped this damsel in distress To hell with this I'm not gonna waste more time I won't wait to find prince charming
Now she's saying that she's not going to wait around anymore, she's going to go out and live her life. This is just what I think :)
