Suburbia
Why you gotta go on
Stealing all my friends
You'll never pull me in
Suburbia
What made you think you're better
And do you ever tire
Puppeteering all those lives?
Sorry, yesterday, I had to drive up in your cul-de-sac
I much regret it, don't worry, I won't be coming back
And my apologies are sin if I embarrassed the neighbors
Sorry, but I'm not as rich as you and no, I can't afford
Three cars in the driveway and then time to get bored
So, telling me my car is loud, you're not doing a favor
Your children stare at me
But they're not prepared to be outside
Your screened-in porcelain community
And I will live to be just like you
Difficult and frightened, enlightened to love your kind
They'll never live off TV dinners
Know what it means to suffer with their silver-plated eyes
So what? Am I sorry? But I did not grow up with a TV in my room
And my first trip to Disneyland, well, I was 22
A shame you don't believe in yard sales, I, I would have bought from you
Sorry, but my tooth fairy wasn't dropping 20's
We were happy with our peppermints and pennies
But you would not understand this your, your joy's in winning
You don't know how it feels
Drinking tap water at every meal
I hear you swear if it's not bottled
And I will live to be just like you
Difficult and frightened, enlightened to love your kind
They'll never live off TV dinners
Know what it means to suffer with their silver-plated eyes
And we'll never live off TV dinners
And we'll never know what it means, what it means to suffer
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
And they will live and they will breed
And they will be just like you, with silver-plated eyes
So what am I? So what am I? So what am I?
Suburbia
Why you gotta go on
Stealing all my friends
You'll never pull me in, no, no
Why you gotta go on
Stealing all my friends
You'll never pull me in
Suburbia
What made you think you're better
And do you ever tire
Puppeteering all those lives?

Stealing all my friends
You'll never pull me in, no, no

Holiday

@[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."
