@[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.
Never thought it would come easy
Slow as turning soil
That's the only way to reach me that much I am sure of
Bring it to a boil
Just take your time, thoroughly
Let the seasons be the air you
Breathe in and out
Patiently
Wait for spring's returning
Try not to think too far ahead
The pendulum swings soon enough
We could stay on this side instead
But we wanna make it rough
(Ahead)
(Instead)
There were times I thought I'd get there
I know you thought so too
The days have bled together now, anyway will do
If you're looking I might have it but
you have to look to see
The image you have of me is
What I'd like to be
I was so good at pretending
And denying when things bothered me
So shut the front door I'll
Kick in the back
Metaphorically, I'm hoping
Try not to think too far ahead
The pendulum swings soon enough
We could stay on this side instead
But we wanna make it rough
Make it rough 'til they put you in the handcuff
Seeking out minds that are not yet corrupt
Woi-oh woi-oh and away you go
I'm a go on til the god damn juice gone
Far enough into the journey to feel the satisfaction yes
Action speaking louder than bombs and we just go
on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on and on
Try not to think too far ahead
The pendulum swings soon enough
We could stay on this side instead
But we wanna make it rough
Slow as turning soil
That's the only way to reach me that much I am sure of
Bring it to a boil
Just take your time, thoroughly
Let the seasons be the air you
Breathe in and out
Patiently
Wait for spring's returning
Try not to think too far ahead
The pendulum swings soon enough
We could stay on this side instead

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."
