@[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.
All the world lay before her feet
And sky above her
After him all that she believes
No one could love her now
Just a place that no one wants to go
All in time
You change your mind
For wrong or right
The day brings night
Look through eyes that hide and you will find
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
Just a boy with too much love to give
But love will break him
The biggest hearts are the easiest to break
But he would show them all
Nothing left but a name upon the wall
All in time
You change your mind
For wrong or right
The day brings night
Look through eyes that hide and you will find
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
The day will come when
All your dreams have gone to bed
We will carry on...
All in time
You change your mind
For wrong or right
The day brings night
Look through eyes that hide and you will find
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
Who never learned to lie
Who never learned to lie
And sky above her
After him all that she believes
No one could love her now
Just a place that no one wants to go
All in time
You change your mind
For wrong or right
The day brings night
Look through eyes that hide and you will find
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
Just a boy with too much love to give
But love will break him
The biggest hearts are the easiest to break
But he would show them all
Nothing left but a name upon the wall
All in time
You change your mind
For wrong or right
The day brings night
Look through eyes that hide and you will find
No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
The day will come when
All your dreams have gone to bed
We will carry on...
All in time
You change your mind

No one ever sings like the caged bird
No one ever screams like the boy that's never heard
No one ever clings like love's first last goodbye
And no one ever dreams like the girl who never learned to lie
Who never learned to lie
Who never learned to lie

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,

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
