@[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.
Something's come, feel it down in my bones
Yeah it's been a long time gone, but ya here tonight
Now let's not look back, ya keeping me right on track
Feel the karma coming back, we're gonna be alright
If everything's a constant battle, sometimes you won't win
If all our strengths turn into struggles we won't be giving in
We'll be living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep it
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
A change is gonna come
Living on an all time high
I'm gonna live it
First thought we couldn't but it can be done
Change is gonna come
Troubled times, been a good friend of mine
Yeah it's been around a while keeping me down
But through it all, even with a broken soul
Here I am standing tall cause you're around
If everything's a constant battle, sometimes you won't win
If all our strengths turn into struggles we won't be giving in
We'll be living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep it
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
A change is gonna come
Living on an all time high
I'm gonna live it
First thought we couldn't but it can be done
Change is gonna come
For every sign that said we'd never find the means to
For every word they said they never heard that they knew
Given time I want some piece of mind
Same as you do
Sing it!
Change is
Coming
You better be waiting
You better be
Ready
Running
Faster, faster it's coming
We'll be living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep it
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
A change is gonna come
Living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep up
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
Change is gonna come
Living on an all time high
I'm gonna live it
First thought we couldn't but it can be done
Change is gonna come
Change is coming, oh you better be running
I see you ready, I keep running
Faster and faster it's coming
Change is coming, oh you better be running
I see you ready, I keep running
Faster and faster it's coming
Yeah it's been a long time gone, but ya here tonight
Now let's not look back, ya keeping me right on track
Feel the karma coming back, we're gonna be alright
If everything's a constant battle, sometimes you won't win
If all our strengths turn into struggles we won't be giving in
We'll be living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep it
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
A change is gonna come
Living on an all time high
I'm gonna live it
First thought we couldn't but it can be done
Change is gonna come
Troubled times, been a good friend of mine
Yeah it's been around a while keeping me down
But through it all, even with a broken soul
Here I am standing tall cause you're around
If everything's a constant battle, sometimes you won't win
If all our strengths turn into struggles we won't be giving in
We'll be living on an all time high
I'm trying to keep it
We've learnt to walk but now it's time to run
A change is gonna come
Living on an all time high

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
