This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I got a morningstar from a candlestick, I'm feeling alright
I'm gonna need something better to make it through the night
Hall of a thousand ghosts
Cleansed by the silver cross
Ascend the stairs, the feral shadows
Never had a shot
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
They can taste the blood
Draining from my wounds
Luring the creatures from underground lagoons
All my father told me
Everything was true
Son the world's in trouble
Everyone is counting on you
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold
Every step invokes my past
A child of limbs inside a trap
I survive by eating flesh of bats
Generations behind my shoulder
I melt with the shadows but he still know's I'm here
Crimson curtains
Victims of time perforated by moonlight
Shining down a skeleton's engraving
Brave ones beware
A giant bat dwells here
I was too weak
I could never the axe
Woah yeah
Break the rock
Double shot
Axe in hand
I'm gonna bring this castle down
Break the rock
Double shot
Axe in hand
I'm gonna bring this castle down
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold
Onto this soul of mine
I'm gonna need something better to make it through the night
Hall of a thousand ghosts
Cleansed by the silver cross
Ascend the stairs, the feral shadows
Never had a shot
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
They can taste the blood
Draining from my wounds
Luring the creatures from underground lagoons
All my father told me
Everything was true
Son the world's in trouble
Everyone is counting on you
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold
Every step invokes my past
A child of limbs inside a trap
I survive by eating flesh of bats
Generations behind my shoulder
I melt with the shadows but he still know's I'm here
Crimson curtains
Victims of time perforated by moonlight
Shining down a skeleton's engraving
Brave ones beware
A giant bat dwells here
I was too weak
I could never the axe
Woah yeah
Break the rock
Double shot
Axe in hand
I'm gonna bring this castle down
Break the rock
Double shot
Axe in hand
I'm gonna bring this castle down
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Of dealing with creatures of the bloodline
Slashing my way through living decay
Trying to hold onto this soul of mine
Running cold
Blood's running cold
Pumping the curse of the moonlight
Feeling the pressure
Feeling the plight
Trying to hold
Onto this soul of mine

@[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."

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.
