@[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.
Slow down, you are out of control.
One of us is right. One of us is wrong.
And I know that you're not coming home.
There's no where to park after it gets dark.
Yeah.
Can't tell what I want when you sing
So keep it to yourself, I haven't missed anything.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice.
Slow down, you are out of control
It could be so easy if it didn't feel so wrong.
And warmed up and your hair is too long.
What if I was young, what if i was younger?
And so, well, finally she showed.
I never should have asked, it was a long time ago.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice, you are my voice.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice, my microphone
You are my voice.
You are my voice.
You are my voice.
One of us is right, one of us is wrong.
One of us is right, one of us is wrong.
One of us is right. One of us is wrong.
And I know that you're not coming home.
There's no where to park after it gets dark.
Yeah.
Can't tell what I want when you sing
So keep it to yourself, I haven't missed anything.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice.
Slow down, you are out of control
It could be so easy if it didn't feel so wrong.
And warmed up and your hair is too long.
What if I was young, what if i was younger?
And so, well, finally she showed.
I never should have asked, it was a long time ago.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice, you are my voice.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, my microphone.
You are my voice, so take me on.
You are my voice, my microphone
You are my voice.
You are my voice.
You are my voice.
One of us is right, one of us is wrong.
One of us is right, one of us is wrong.

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.
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.
This song is so good why are there so few comments?! I have recently joined the Coconut Records bandwagon and am enjoying the ride. There music just makes me so happy! I heard an interview he had on Sirius and the reason it's called "Coconut Records" is because he said that too many bands have depressing titles and he though coconuts sounded sunny, and fun. Agreed!
Now 4 the meaning-
Slow down, you are out of control. One of us is right. One of us is wrong. And I know that you're not coming home. There's no where to park after it gets dark. Yeah. Can't tell what I want when you sing So keep it to yourself, I haven't missed anything.
ok i think they are in a fight and he sees it as there is only one solution to the arguement. He knows she will come up with a lame excuse ala "no where to park", but really she's just mad. And that's why she won't come home. He doesn't want to hear her sing because he will remember how much he loves her and not want to be mad.
the chorus I think is him just stating that even though he gets mad he still couldn't live w/o her
Slow down, you are out of control It could be so easy if it didn't feel so wrong. And warmed up and your hair is too long. What if I was young, what if i was younger? And so, well, finally she showed. I never should have asked, it was a long time ago
So back to the argument. Maybe it would be easier on him to argue if he didn't feel so terrible for hurting her.Then he says that she is too worked up and one throws the hair comment at the other (this could go either way). Then he's asking her if he was younger would they fight as much, or maybe it's the hair thing again. Then he feels bad for bringing something up from the past, because it will start another arguement..
I like the "take me on" part because you can only really argue with someone you love.(The story of my life) And the voice part like I said signifies a part of himself.
Love the song!
LOVE this song! I am soo pumped for the new album! :D
This song is a great first single. Let's hope the rest of the album will be as good.
This song is so catchy. I love it! :]
