@[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.
Era un jueves gris, llovía
Pídeme un remis, decía
En el lobby de un hotel barato
Viene de rentar su piel un rato
Con la algarabía del deber cumplido
Acrobacias del placer fingido
Un orgasmo de alquiler, con ruidos
Pone boca en su carmín escaso
Arañando el adoquín sus pasos
Quien tiene algo para la nariz, pregunta
Podría ser de utilidad un pañuelo
Disfracé de ingenuidad, mi anzuelo
Algo para no dormir, idiota
Si me das podrías pedir mi ropa
Donde encuentro nieve pa'l desvelo, ahora
Creo que cien podría ajustar, te animas
Y de pestal cruzar, la esquina
Estoy solo como tu, fulana
Te invito a estrenar la luz, mañana
No te quiero pa' desarreglar la cama
No es lo que haces con tu boca mi muñeca rota lo que solicito
Te puedes dejar la ropa, mi muñeca rota no la necesito
No es mojar la calentura
Ahogar en tu cintura lo que ando buscando
Es un poco de ternura para ver si cura lo que estoy pasando
Dijo si sin sonreír, camina
Dime si el sexo sin placer, te enciende
Solo si el cliente es mujer, lo entiendes
Disimulando argumente esta claro
No te creas que me parece raro
Cada quien su gusto y su pasión, le dije
Te podría sujetar la mano
Dame cien para empezar, y hablamos
Los busque en mi pantalón y nada
Fui debajo del colchón y estaban
Se los di como quien compra un par, de alas
No es lo que haces con tu boca mi muñeca rota lo que solicito
Te puedes dejar la ropa, mi muñeca rota no la necesito
No es mojar la calentura
Ahogar en tu cintura lo que ando buscando
Es un poco de ternura para ver si cura lo que estoy pasando
Miro el buró y sin sonreír, momento
Si es tu ex la del buró no hay trato
Con su mano señaló el retrato
La conoces pregunté, confuso
Fue por mí quien te dejo, iluso
Pídeme un remis, decía
En el lobby de un hotel barato
Viene de rentar su piel un rato
Con la algarabía del deber cumplido
Acrobacias del placer fingido
Un orgasmo de alquiler, con ruidos
Pone boca en su carmín escaso
Arañando el adoquín sus pasos
Quien tiene algo para la nariz, pregunta
Podría ser de utilidad un pañuelo
Disfracé de ingenuidad, mi anzuelo
Algo para no dormir, idiota
Si me das podrías pedir mi ropa
Donde encuentro nieve pa'l desvelo, ahora

No es lo que haces con tu boca mi muñeca rota lo que solicito

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
