@[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.
Exercise the demon that is living up inside you
After all you think you've been through, just what have you been through
Try to get beside yourself this tearing at your insides
If you end up on the wrong side, always standing so strong
Sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
Go on, go ahead and prove me wrong
The further you go
The less you know
You're born to quit, you've blown it (you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit, you're born to quit
Something supernatural it seems it could possess you
No melevalance about you yeah that might not be true (might not be true)
How they kept you demonized the fucked up situation,
How you've killed off all the angels taking notice of you
Sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
Go on, go ahead and prove me wrong
The further you go
The less you know
You're born to quit, you've blown it (you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit, you're born to quit
You've blown it
You're born to quit
Sharpe up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
GO on, go ahead and prove me wrong
The further you go
The less you know
You're born to quit, you've blown it (you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit, you're born to quit
You've blown it!
You're born to quit!
You've blown it!
(you've blown it, you've blown it!)
After all you think you've been through, just what have you been through
Try to get beside yourself this tearing at your insides
If you end up on the wrong side, always standing so strong
Sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
Go on, go ahead and prove me wrong
The further you go

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
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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
I am not saying that this is in anyway connected but i am a biggg used fan - and a big fan of the tv series supernatural and this song just seems to be all about supernatural - like i dont belive tht it is but i love it anyways for example:
After all you think you've been through (dean = hell)
Try to get beside yourself. This tearing at your insides. And you end up on the wrong side, always standing so strong. ( sam going baddd )
Exorcise the demon that is living up inside you ( sam and dean exorcise demons ... )
Something supernatural it seems it could possess you, ( well ... )
No malevolence about you, then that might not be true. (sam) How they care to demonize the fucked up situation,( sam & dean ) How you killed off all the angels taking notice of you ( lots of angels get killed ... )
just a idea ... would be amazing - but i am dreaming
