@[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.
I can be who you want me to be uh huh-ow
Take a chance on a new enemy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Something different than you felt before
But you'll know it when you taste it
In the absence of light it's a flash in the night
Something that you can feel but it's always burnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
There's a place out on Avenue A uh huh-ow
Where the kids got a new remedy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Just a little bit to leave yourself for a temporary exile
It's a shortness of breath it's a glow in your chest
Something better than real that's always turnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Check all your hang ups and lead at the door
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Quit all your bitchin' and get on the floor
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
East side (?)

I got to know baby
When you see me don't (?)
I got to know baby
Sing along
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Check all your hang ups and lead at the door
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Quit all your bitchin' and get on the floor
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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 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.

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.
