@[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 got ice in the freezer
Beer and wine are in the fridge
I got liquor and I got mixers
I got plenty of chips and dip
Ain't no party like one of my parties
Cause you know my party don't stop
But we're all in our 30s now
So there's just one caveat
We're gonna party all night
Until 10pm
We're gonna party all night
Party all night
We're gonna party all night
Until 10pm
Cause that's a reasonable hour to call it a night
Hey thanks for coming over
Why don't you come on in
Take your shoes off at the door
Let me take your coat
And I'll introduce you to all my other friends
This is Kelly from three jobs ago
This is John we met in college
But no one here expects you to learn each others names
We all know it's just useless knowledge
Because we're gonna party all night
Until 10pm
We're gonna party all night
Party all night
We're in our 30s
We're not trying to make some new friends
At 10:01 we all go back to our real lives again
It's 9 o'clock and I'm
Ready to call it a night
I turn the music down a smidge
And hope that my guests take the hint
I sneak away to my bed
Dim the lights and close the door
And I push all their coats
Off of my bed and on on the floor
I just need to take a five
Swear I'm just resting my eyes
But I don't set an alarm
And I awake at dawn
When I wake up I grab my phone
And I text all of my friends
They say we all left maybe ten minutes or so
After you snuck off to bed
Then the one guy in his twenties says
Next week let's all grab a beer
But the rest of us say that's okay we're good now
No need to socialize for at least a couple of years
Because we partied all night
Until 9:15-ish pm
That's right we partied all night
Partied all night
We'll be hungover for days
From just two glasses of wine
But that's the price you pay for trying to party all night
Partied all night
That's right we partied all night
Partied all night
That's right we partied all night
Partied all night

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
