@[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.
Me and my friend was out one night
and we were tripping on LSD
about 11 o'clock my friend turned to me and said
"There's somewhere I gotta be"
I didn't ask where or where to go
but she said "I'll drive from here"
and I said "Oh..Okie Dokie" and we sped off into the night
She took those turns at 95
but it felt like 43
and I was freaking out as anyone could see
cause that's just something that you do when you're on LSD
but see it's not the speed that was freaking me out
because i drive fast all the time
but there was a little unicorn in the back seat of my car
Well my friend she just got all freaked out
and she let go of the wheel
then my car took off and started driving itself
as it jumped off the edge of this one big hill
We were in the air for atleast 12 minutes
and it gave us a chance to see what is really in us
then we hit some pine trees that were hanging from some purple clouds
(Spoken)
well sooner or later we had to come down
and when we did, we were right in the middle of town
we had found a good place to park in the middle of that fountain apparently
then I started to yell like I was drunk
but had happened was that there was a sea monster in the trunk.
and I opened the door and fell right into the foot of water
we'll under there was lots of things
like 2000 pennies and a phony diamond ring
but the thing that scared me the most was this one eyed snake
after discovering that my zipper was down
I fixed myself and tried to get out of town
I think my friend had took off with my car some time ago
I stopped for a minute to admire the lights
they looked odd and blue like no other lights
and that's when I realized that those were the lights
of the Royston City Police Department.
apparently they had seen the whole damn thing
and thought it was very interesting among other things
and they even gave me a chance to try and explain myself
I pulled out my watch and I did a little dance
and before I knew it they were in a trance
and I thought..if I was going to run, now's the time.
So I took off down this little back street
dodging yellow midgets and gigantic feet
and after a while I saw a light at the very end
and sooner than later something became very clear
and this little chipmunk said "Son have nothing to fear"
and I know that real cause I ain't never never seen that before
Well me and my friend was out one night
and we were tripping on LSD
about 11 o'clock my friend turned to me and said
"There's somewhere I gotta be"
I didn't ask where to or where to go
but she said "I'll drive from here"
and I said "Oh Okie Dokie"
and we sped off into the night
Well I made it home about 8am
and I passed out on the couch
I was tired as hell as anyone could see
I don't think I'm gonna take no more LSD
You see normal stuff
don't really freak me
because I see that all the time
But that itty bitty drug will really
Open up your mind..
Oh yeah

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."

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
