@[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.
Never mind all the lines, I'm coming
And there is no better part of me
You'll see, the darkest light, the blind I'll be
I accept that you chose to forget
The horrid thing you made of me, my dear
It is alright, it is so
The laughing feels so good
But the world misunderstood all I said
There was no joke in what I meant
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
I've given up on all I loved
For an honest moment of clarity
Well, I need to feel alright
Please let me breathe
In the life I made out of nothing
To cleanse this useless identity
Will you hear all the world in it's whys?
Just wait, will the later half be as good?
Well, if only I misunderstood
I weight all this judgment I've been blamed
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
I've failed you, I've failed
There's no understanding in miracles
When the worst, it always comes true
I am the nothing you have saved
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
It eats us like cancer, we're coming for something
Maybe an answer with all that you've done for me
I'll give you nothing
It eats us like cancer, we're coming for something
Maybe an answer with all that you've done for me
Made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
And there is no better part of me
You'll see, the darkest light, the blind I'll be
I accept that you chose to forget
The horrid thing you made of me, my dear
It is alright, it is so
The laughing feels so good
But the world misunderstood all I said
There was no joke in what I meant
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
Someone, please come shelter me from
All that I am and never again will I
Believe the same old story
I've given up on all I loved
For an honest moment of clarity
Well, I need to feel alright
Please let me breathe

To cleanse this useless identity
Will you hear all the world in it's whys?

Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing
Made out of nothing, made out of nothing

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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
My theory about this song is that it's Pearl contemplating life and everything while being held captive by Wilhelm Ryan. Ryan kept her in a glass box and used all kinds of tactics to try to break her emotionally, and this song illustrates her slowly slipping into madness
"I accept that you chose to forget the horrid thing you made of me, my dear"
Pearl is made to believe that Leonard is to blame for her being captured and that he has forgotten about her. She doesn't accept it at first, but the longer she's held captive, the more she starts to believe it.
"I've given up on all I've loved for An honest moment of clarity Well I need to feel alright, please let me breathe"
On one point, Pearl wants out so badly that she wishes that anyone could take her place, even if it were Leonard or Joseph. She doesn't care if one of her loved ones had to suffer, she would switch places with them in a heartbeat.
"All that I am and never again Will I believe the same old story"
This could be about her resisting and disagreeing the things Wilhelm Ryan tells her about Leonard. She keeps telling herself that she won't believe him, even though deep down she does.
"There's no understanding in miracles When the worst, it always comes true"
This is the most telling part in my opinion. All through the story, Pearl mentions quite a bit about not believing in miracles, especially after Joseph was killed. The situation she is in just strengths her belief.
These are all just my opinions, of course. This might not be the actual interpretation of the song, but that is how I see it. But I definitely suggest reading the "Year of the Black Rainbow" novel if youre a big Coheed and Cambria fan and you can find it on eBay or Amazon. It is fantastic!
