@[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.
Every day's another chance
Each night the curtain falls down
And you're asking yourself did I do enough
Did I show His love
You could be the difference
Not just a face in the crowd
Push it to the limit
Keep on reaching out
'Cause right here and right now
It's time for the show, turn up your light
It's time for the show, let it shine
Because you know who you are
And know who your heart belongs to, oh
They need to know this perfect love
It's time for the show, it comes through us
Don't wait another minute, let's go
It's time for the show
There's a stage we're standing on
Whether we know it or not
No more waiting in the wings
Step out and let them see
That you are free
Deeper than a feeling
More than words we say
We can be the real thing
It's not a role we play
So right here and right now
It's time for the show, turn up your light
It's time for the show, let it shine
Because you know who you are
And know who your heart belongs to, oh
They need to know this perfect love
It's time for the show, it comes through us
Don't wait another minute, let's go
It's time for the show
Time for the show, time for the show
You are the light of the world
A city on a hill that can't be hidden
You are the salt of the earth
Glorify your Father in Heaven
A billion tiny flames breaking through the dark
Show His love, show His mercy, show His heart
It's time for the show
It's time for the show
Because you know who you are
And know who your heart belongs to, oh
They need to know this perfect love
It's time for the show, it comes through us
Don't wait another minute, let's go
It's time for the show
Each night the curtain falls down
And you're asking yourself did I do enough
Did I show His love
You could be the difference
Not just a face in the crowd
Push it to the limit
Keep on reaching out
'Cause right here and right now
It's time for the show, turn up your light
It's time for the show, let it shine
Because you know who you are
And know who your heart belongs to, oh
They need to know this perfect love
It's time for the show, it comes through us
Don't wait another minute, let's go
It's time for the show
There's a stage we're standing on

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
