@[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.
"We kill the fagots, we kill the lesbians,
I said goddammit we kill them all!"
We were taught to kneel and bow our heads.
I tried simply standing up instead.
Heard rumors of transparent legs
And walks for days and days.
These days we reach for so much more
We reached the point where we can't go home.
Alone we wait here underground
Amidst the others waiting
So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.
But all I can is we go our own way.
We go our own way.
So save us.
Who would guess you were the chosen one?
The right place, you were the firstborn son.
Once questioned stable state of mind
To spend some time in the gutter.
A full collapse and caving in
Just wait for faith to kick in
I lost track of time as i stood in line
Amidst the other believers.
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
We go are own way
So save us
Over and over and I still can not believe
We can't save ourselves
Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed.
Now ask for help
Having faith in something you can't see
Takes something else
Over and over and i still can not believe
We can save ourselves
So pray that if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
Send your prayers our way
To save us
Kill 'em again cuz they didn't die hard enough
I said goddammit we kill them all!"

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Its about people doing nothing while ONE dies for THEIR sins.
It's a questioning of things...its calling people out.....How do you go and let someone die like that and do nothing? Right.
We all have free will.
That is a gift.
You have people like the mormons that come to your door to save you. Why save ME? SAVE YOURSELF! You want to save me?
Get it?
This person even goes so far as to exchange places with this "person" on the cross...and say...Hey!...Watch me bleed and not ask for help.
If I did ask for help, would you?... Would you have helped?
Its about a bunch of bitches that don't deserve what they have because they don't and didn't recognize it when they had it.
Now its time for us to save ourselves. You can only ask so much of one man.
Forgiveness should be enough. Its not a continually clock out and check out to use to get yourself off the hook for your bullshit.
God's people are so Loving....yet not.
He walks in all of us.
Save Yourself.
@luckymag interesting interpretation I think elements of your interpretation are covered in others interpretations ... and pretty much the theme seems to be make yourself (or in your word "save yourself")
