@[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 guess I am who I am, I'll be this way til the end
I stand for what I believe in
Even if it's nothing!
I guess I am who I am, I'll be this way til the end
I stand for what I believe in
Even if it's nothing!
This is the life I have chosen and ever step is a step unknown and every path leads me further away from home
I know but I swallowed the poison, now my body aches and my hands are numb
I can't remember where I went wrong, but I did
It's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fire
It's like a loaded gun
Cause I like drinking with the boys
And I play my music loud and I know that this does not make you too proud
Well baby I'm not what you're looking for
Doctor I need medication
Cause my dizzy head brings the floor to face
I try to dodge or to deviate, but I can't
I'm not lacking motivation
Life is short and my fuse lit
If less is more then I take a hit, in the end
It's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fire
It's like a loaded gun
Cause I like drinking with the boys
And I play my music loud, and I know that this does not make you too proud
Well baby I'm not what you're looking for
I guess I am who I am
I'll be this way til the end
I stand for what I believe in, even if it's nothing
I guess I am who I am
I'll be this way til the end
I stand for what I believe in, even if it's nothing
I stand for what I believe in, even if it's nothing!
It's like running with scissors
It's like playing with fire
It's like a loaded gun
Cause I like drinking with the boys
And I play my music loud, and I know that this does not make you too proud
Well baby I'm not what you're looking for
Well baby I'm not what you're looking for
Well baby I'm not what you're looking for!
I stand for what I believe in
Even if it's nothing!
I guess I am who I am, I'll be this way til the end

Mountain Song

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."
