Get on your knees in the fire
You can leave it
All in your mind
It is all in your mind
It is

Call in the backseat a friend
It is really all in your mind
It is all in your mind

You look so tired of living like a kite
kite, kite, kite

Look at all the trees in your mind
That are growing all in your mind
It is all in your mind
It is

Look at all the leaves in the fire
That you're burning all in your mind
It is all in your mind
It is

You look so tired of living like a kite
kite, kite, kite

Get on your knees in the fire
You can leave it all in your mind
It is all in your mind
It is

    To me, from a person who has diagnosed anxiety; this song is about how every little negative shadow; is in your mind. That all this sadness and feeling trapped sensation is in your mind. I believe this song is about someone learning to let go of their past or worries. Or however to let go of something that means or did mean so much to them. I feel that when it said "tired of living like a kite" that it meant , someone trying to fit in and they cant seem to keep there feet on the ground. That there isnt a happy medium; that there either trapped or free, in curiosity.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Mountain Song
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."
