@[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.
Wonderful In Young Life
Two weeks in another town
Sending shivers along in the spine
Of your friends when they call
Here she comes
The wild wind blows
In rhythms of season
In young life and reasons
Deceiving and pleasing to some
Wild girls wild
In epic beauty wild
Surviving these changes
In paces and faces
In free wonder
Free wonder
Free wonder style
Wonderful
Little Egypt eyes
Wonderful
And the world can't wait
Wonderful
And the beat's white hot
Wonderful
Dream dream dream
It's the eighties youthful theme
Loving the city
A theme for great cities
And loved ones
And love
Memorize
A crowded swallow skies
Whatever the weather
The climate is perfect for
So young
And so young in life
An angel day
Angels coming your way
Screaming food fortune
And follow
And look at the memories
That are stuck in our eyes
Wonderful
Little Egypt eyes
Wonderful
And the world can't wait
Wonderful
Celebrate soul day

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Ed Sheeran
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.
This song to me means exactly what the title states. Being young is wonderful. Since I am a parent of young adults and older children,I can see a lot of me in them. A few of the lyrics the way I see them and what they mean to me:
Wonderful in young life. Two weeks in another town, Sending shivers along in the spine, Of your friends when they call.
(traveling is always exciting when you are young especially with friends)
Here she comes, The wild wind blows, In rhythms of season, In young life and reasons. Deceiving and pleasing to some, Wild girls wild, In epic beauty wild, Surviving these changes, In paces and faces, In free wonder. Free wonder, Free wonder style.
(that young love that has you in it's grip. when you're growing up things change so quickly that all you can do is "survive". because before you know it you're an adult)
Little Egypt eyes. Wonderful. And the world can't wait. Wonderful. And the beat's white hot. Wonderful.
("Little Egypt eyes" makes me think of not my sons but my daughter. the "world could not wait" she is all grown up now with her own family. no longer the two year old that would sleep next to me)
Dream, dream, dream, It's the eighties' youthful theme. Loving the city, A theme for great cities, And loved ones, And love.
(it's all so "dreamlike" being young! you think you are invincible! a youthful energetic "theme",energy needed to explore the city with friends and loved ones)
Memorize, A crowded swallow skies. Whatever the weather, The climate is perfect for, So young, And so young in life.
(your memories of youth,the sky is the absolute limit! and my favorite verse that always brings a little tear to my eyes when looking at my 12 year old. Whatever the weather,The climate is perfect for,So young and so young in life" Meaning that no matter what the weather is,as long as you are with that special person it could be raining cats and dogs but you see rainbows. Your worldview isn't cynical because you still see the good and think the bad can be turned into good.
An angel day, Angels coming your way, Screaming good fortune, And follow, And look at the memories, That are stuck in our eyes.
(this is the future. now it is time to grow up into adulthood. but you have your "guardian angels" tell- ing you not to fear. You have "good fortune" so "follow" me,you are protected by God. But at the same every once in a while,you will look at the memories of youth and good times. Even if adult hood is not that great with all it's pressures and ups and downs,you'll always have those memories that are "stuck in your eyes)
God I'm singing memories. Hey I'm singing memories. Look I'm singing memories.
(you find yourself without a conscious effort swept away in "nostalgia". from either a song,a scent or something intangible. it feels as if when you open your eyes you'd be transported back to that time. but it's so close yet so very far....
