@[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.
It turns out cigarettes can kill you
Cause when you didn't come back
Every time that I thought of you
I smoked a whole pack
I was up to about seventeen packs a day
I was refueling too
About every hour or so
I drank a bottle of white mule
I wasn't thinking about turquoise
I wasn't thinking about gold
I wasn't thinking about thinking
Or about getting old
Got to be so I didn't care
If I was leaving or loving
Oh, what I was
And what I was becoming
I don't want to in your arms
I just want to die
Don't want to die in you arms
I just want to die
And like a marionette doll
Oh, manned by a fool
I went into the chicken shed
Started looking for tools
Well I worked for a month
Build some sky and some clouds
And I built some myself some angels
With trumpets so loud
Well they played hallelujah
And I knew I was done
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays
Saw a never setting sun
Well I knew I was dead
I couldn't do no more harm
Well I built myself a heaven
Where you died in my arms
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
You died in my arms when I died
Cause when you didn't come back
Every time that I thought of you
I smoked a whole pack
I was up to about seventeen packs a day
I was refueling too
About every hour or so
I drank a bottle of white mule
I wasn't thinking about turquoise
I wasn't thinking about gold
I wasn't thinking about thinking
Or about getting old
Got to be so I didn't care
If I was leaving or loving
Oh, what I was
And what I was becoming
I don't want to in your arms
I just want to die
Don't want to die in you arms
I just want to die
And like a marionette doll
Oh, manned by a fool
I went into the chicken shed
Started looking for tools
Well I worked for a month
Build some sky and some clouds
And I built some myself some angels
With trumpets so loud
Well they played hallelujah
And I knew I was done
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays
Saw a never setting sun
Well I knew I was dead
I couldn't do no more harm
Well I built myself a heaven
Where you died in my arms
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
Well you died in my arms when I died
You died in my arms when I died

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is the most beautifully and perfectly depressing song ever. I heart this song so much (Cold War Kids cover of it is very good too).
where can i find the cwk version of it?
I got it from iTunes. It's from an EP called Acoustic at the District. (I think it was an iTunes exclusive.) I just checked limewire, and some songs were available from the EP, but not Die Die Die. Maybe keep checking, or break down and get it from iTunes.
I LOVE the refrence to Dylan's Isis. So sweet. This song makes me want to die..I think thats what they were going for.
this song is painfully good. oof.
