@[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.
Silent screaming words, offering our lives a way
A perfect smile for all to see
Lingers everywhere, travels where horizons blend
A grand design to hold as true
Strangers gazing west, faceless shadows on a screen
A distant comfort, silent cries
Death is just a word, stripped from meaning long ago
All that’s near we hold as dear
Love is their disease, beyond a cure they gloat in sin
All the while they die
Color taints their mind, their savage hearts for us to see
Our kinds roam different lands
Breathe…just breathe…close your eyes a while
Stillness lies buried within your own mind
She’s drowning now, her life is swept away
All silent now, her body in decay
[x4] (Air…Breathe…Life…)
Take a moment now, time to make a choice
Past soon turns into a faded memory
We’ve gone too far, let go
See the weight of lunacy fall to the ground
Candle flames have turned into a raging fire
By winds put to words
Well of reasoning, calling for discovery
To flush sins of our deeds away…
Breathe…just breathe…close your eyes a while
Stillness lies buried within your own mind
Upon this hollow ground we need to start again
Bridge infernal depths, rebuild the realms we kept
Fight the urge to hide, find the vows that died
Upon this hollow ground we need to start again
Eyes upon the world beyond illusive screens
Now the blood red sky cries for reasons why
A perfect smile for all to see
Lingers everywhere, travels where horizons blend
A grand design to hold as true
Strangers gazing west, faceless shadows on a screen
A distant comfort, silent cries
Death is just a word, stripped from meaning long ago
All that’s near we hold as dear
Love is their disease, beyond a cure they gloat in sin
All the while they die
Color taints their mind, their savage hearts for us to see
Our kinds roam different lands
Breathe…just breathe…close your eyes a while
Stillness lies buried within your own mind
She’s drowning now, her life is swept away
All silent now, her body in decay
[x4] (Air…Breathe…Life…)
Take a moment now, time to make a choice
Past soon turns into a faded memory
We’ve gone too far, let go
See the weight of lunacy fall to the ground
Candle flames have turned into a raging fire
By winds put to words
Well of reasoning, calling for discovery
To flush sins of our deeds away…
Breathe…just breathe…close your eyes a while
Stillness lies buried within your own mind
Upon this hollow ground we need to start again
Bridge infernal depths, rebuild the realms we kept
Fight the urge to hide, find the vows that died
Upon this hollow ground we need to start again
Eyes upon the world beyond illusive screens
Now the blood red sky cries for reasons why

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
