@[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.
I am here to tell you a story
A story that will torture your thoughts by day
And poison your dreams by night
And though i will do my best,
There are no words that can be written
Nor brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe
This dark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died
The emptiness will haunt you
This is a nightmare
Is my annabel really gone?
Why have i stopped my day oh,
I find it hard to breathe
Her body teases me
As the sun reveals the dawn
Her smile reflects the gold
I kissed a sharp painful lie
Baby, lay in my arms
And cuddle me close
Soon this will be
Just an awful memory
(Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
My angel, lie to me
And tell me im dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A feel like you will always be
Such a tragic part of me
(I'll watch to see you torture me)
I watch the blood drip
From the corners of your mouth
The watch seems vicious for me
I'll frown and slit your throat
I'm starting to believe
What my eyes are seeing now
Eyes look so beautiful
And you know what I'll be now
Baby, lay in my arms
And cuddle me close
Soon this will be
Just an awful memory
(Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
My angel, lie to me
And tell me I'm dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A feel like you will always be
Such a tragic part of me
(I'll watch to see you torture me)
Sweet, raffish
It will be
Mine
It will be
Done
Empty eyes accuse
A face so evil
I'm coming undone
The mirror says it all
Eclipse and story
Of innocence lost
Empty eyes accuse
A face so evil
I'm coming undone
I said look at me my real angel
Abyss, I know, I will speak against you
Fly, forgive me
My one, I see, never say you know
Never for me, though it was for you
Fly me, monster
Such an awful memory
(Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
My angel, lie to me
And tell me I'm dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A feel like you will always be
Such a tragic part of me
(I'll watch to see you torture me)
Sweet, raffish
It will be
Mine
It will be
Done
(A mirror never lies
They know, everybody knows
Do you not see what they see?
A mirror never lies
I see what they see
Everybody knows, everybody knows)
A story that will torture your thoughts by day
And poison your dreams by night
And though i will do my best,
There are no words that can be written
Nor brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe

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.
"The dawn is approaching the small town of Slough in England during the year 1898. A local sketch artist, known to us simply as "the Artist," lies in a bed next to the woman of his dreams, "Annabel." As the first rays of sunlight pour through the window, he rolls over to wake his lover with a kiss. Her cold lips reveal a lifeless body once so beautiful. His one and only love has been murdered and nothing is what it seems. When it is revealed to him whose hands may be responsible, he begs for the whole thing to be a horrible nightmare." -Alesana
I kinda think this song is the author's intake on the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe. In the lyrics, it mentions Annabel, and how she's gone. It also talks about an icy corpse. In the poem Annabel Lee (if you bothered to look it up), the narrator claims that a wind came out, chilling and killing Annabel Lee. I'm guessing that this song is about what the author(s) thought happened to Annabel and the narrator in the poem. (:
Alright song. All of the songs on this album are just alright. Honestly, this album is a huge disappointment to me. The whole album is about how his true love Annabel was murdered. It's a well written album, and very creative, I just don't really like the sound, especially compared to "On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax" which, in my opinion, is their best album of the three.
If you are interested in this album I would recommend listening to it online before you purchase it. It's a decent album, but just isn't really what I thought it what be. It's Alesana, just doesn't seem quite Alesana if you know what I mean.
i think this is a great album. and this album is based on the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe.
In my personal opinion for as little as its worth, this album is genius! To take 1 poem and turn it into 13 or so very well written songs in just unreal. Every song is totally great and totally Alesana! Cant wait to see em on the 27th. I would recommend buying this before listening, not in any way a disappointment!
I couldn't agree more with the replies . In no way possible was I disappoint when I heard this album. You should buy it . They tried many new things that most bands in their genre would never dare to.
Yes this album is actually well constructed, i really like how the song follow a story.<br /> if you really enjoyed this i'd suggest to listen to La Dispute's album "Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Vega between Altair".
i know what you mean. i feel that there's something missing. maybe Huck's departure from alesana created an impact, you know, Huck has screamed together with Dennis, and had sung with shawn for quite some time, so maybe that's what i was looking for... but i'm not disappointed with the album, it's just that something was missing...
annarchi, your right about Huck leaving being disappointing. And of course the sound is gonna change some, but the album still turned out amazing. i finally got the album a month ago, and i haven't really listened to anything else. it completly resparked my love for the band, and i have been listening to them since the "All The Tragedy Money Can Buy" sampler. Now i just want to know what they are going to do for the next album.
