This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I didn't mean you
Spent my whole life telling everyone to leave me alone
Don't touch, don't look too close
But I didn't mean you
And now you've gone
Because you saw the forbidden sign above my head
And you didn't know,
I didn't mean you
You went to an open door,
instead of knocking harder at mine
I would have let you in
But you didn't know,
I didn't mean you
You didn't see that I cleared the path and left the walkway free
For I told myself that I'll only be tread on by you
But now I look with love upon someone
And no one else matters but him
But still, you fool,
You think I didn't mean you
Spent my whole life telling everyone to leave me alone
Don't touch, don't look too close
But I didn't mean you
And now you've gone
Because you saw the forbidden sign above my head
And you didn't know,
I didn't mean you
You went to an open door,
instead of knocking harder at mine
I would have let you in
But you didn't know,
I didn't mean you
You didn't see that I cleared the path and left the walkway free
For I told myself that I'll only be tread on by you
But now I look with love upon someone
And no one else matters but him
But still, you fool,
You think I didn't mean you

@[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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
This is one of the most beautiful poems I've read/ heard. I think it's about a girl who liked someone who also liked her but she kept on pushing him away out of habit or something of the like. Eventually he decides to leave her and finds someone else even though she does love him. She's a little bitter perhaps at herself for pushing him away and at him for 'not trying hard enough' to win her affections. For some reason I think the poem is linked to Swallow. Probably the sad result of the song. either way, gorgeous (sp?)
This poem is about a girl who has crated this 'wall' around herself. She lets no-one in, she doesnt let anyone get 'near' her, except for this one guy. The guy doesnt realize that, but she lets no-one in, but she doesnt mean HIM. There's just this one guy, but he thinks she didnt mean him.. the first time she means 'i didnt mean to lock YOU out' and the last time she means 'YOU think i didnt mean to let you in'. Really poetic. Beautiful.
I imagine she shared all her scorn for humanity with another how she liked to be alone how she loathed being approached
and the other thought she was telling him/her through proxy and generalization that she was not interested so the other left
such was a consequence of scorn
She has been raised to not let anyone in, she has built a wall around herself to stop people from seeing her for who she really is. It's always pushed people away and they've never come back and it doesn't really bother her. As she's pushed people away all her life, when she finds someone worth keeping, she doesn't know how to handle it and thinks that because they claim to love her, they'll always come back to her. So she does to them exactly what she's always done to everyone else: pushed them way. Yet they actually stayed away. Her plan backfired and she's regretting treating them the way she did because in her eyes they were worthy of keeping, she just wanted to give them a challenge. They never came back to her..
