@[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.
You always find the rain in rainbows
And I thought that you were sane but all your cracks showed
And I could wear that dress, you won't look your best
I could get undressed, you'd still look depressed
It's all too much, you're so cold to touch
You don't open up, you don't open up
Your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start...
You only look into my eyes when I've been crying
To see if the tears that you have made are slowly drying
Oh but even if they've dried
It don't mean that I'm feeling okay 'cause I'm still sad inside
All I really need is you to comfort me
You don't understand, you dont hold my hand
Your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start...
Well then I see that I'm not the only one in your life
And I start to wonder what, this girl, she might be like
And I bet she don't look at stars in the night
I bet she can't sing
I bet the can't write the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak
Oh, the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak but...
Her kisses were just what you wanted
Her kisses are just what you crave
Her kisses may be a beautiful art
But she don't really care about your heart
No she don't really care about your heart
No she don't really care about your
She don't really care about your
She don't really care about your heart
And I thought that you were sane but all your cracks showed
And I could wear that dress, you won't look your best
I could get undressed, you'd still look depressed
It's all too much, you're so cold to touch
You don't open up, you don't open up
Your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start...
You only look into my eyes when I've been crying
To see if the tears that you have made are slowly drying
Oh but even if they've dried
It don't mean that I'm feeling okay 'cause I'm still sad inside
All I really need is you to comfort me
You don't understand, you dont hold my hand
Your kisses are not what I wanted
Your kisses are not what I crave
Your kisses may be a beautiful art
But all I ever wanted was your heart
Right from the start...
Well then I see that I'm not the only one in your life
And I start to wonder what, this girl, she might be like
And I bet she don't look at stars in the night
I bet she can't sing
I bet the can't write the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak
Oh, the lyrics to make your heart beat
Sing notes to make you go weak but...
Her kisses were just what you wanted
Her kisses are just what you crave
Her kisses may be a beautiful art
But she don't really care about your heart
No she don't really care about your heart
No she don't really care about your
She don't really care about your
She don't really care about your heart

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.
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.
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.
a couple was once in love but he fell out of it and she didn't. he then cheated on her with a girl who does not love him at all or at least not as much as she does. she cant breakup with him because she loves him too much so its making them both break inside.
