@[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.
There's no money, there's no possessions
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my obsession
I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words
Coming from within man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind
You can find a conclusion, lifestyle and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothin' but a life-long lesson
And your pocketbooks stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate
For that shit you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinking' about
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that
'Cause everything is nothing
And emptiness isn't everything
This reality is really just a fucked up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possessions, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair, clock in
You just can't win, just can't win
And the things you own, own you
No!
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession
Fuck your obsession, I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
I don't need that shit
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my obsession
I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words
Coming from within man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind
You can find a conclusion, lifestyle and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothin' but a life-long lesson
And your pocketbooks stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate
For that shit you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinking' about
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that
'Cause everything is nothing
And emptiness isn't everything
This reality is really just a fucked up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion
There's no money, there's no possession
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possessions, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair, clock in
You just can't win, just can't win
And the things you own, own you
No!
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession
Fuck your obsession, I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
I don't need that shit

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.
HAS ANYONE ELSE BESIDES ME NOTICED THAT PAPA ROACH TOOK A BUNCH OF THESE LINES FROM FIGHT CLUB? IN MY OPINION (AND I SERIOUSLY DONT SEE WHY ITS NOT YOURS) FIGHT CLUB IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER. IN THE SCENE WHERE TYLER AND UM, TYLER FIRST SIT IN THE BAR TOGETHER, THEYRE DISCUSSING WHAT HAPPENED TO ED NORTONS CONDO, AND BRAD PITT TALKS ABOUT ED NORTONS "LIFESTYLE OBSESSION", THEN AT THE END HE SAYS "THE THINGS YOU OWN, OWN YOU", HE SAYS "YOU END UP WORKING JOBS THAT YOU HATE FOR THE SHIT YOU DONT NEED"I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE ELSE POITED THAT OUT. YOU ALL NEED TO GO TO BLOCKBUSTER AND STEAL A COPY OF FIGHT CLUB, AND WATCH IT AT LEAST 5 TIMES A DAY LIKE I DO. SHIT IM WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW.
FUCK YEAH!!!! Fight Club pwns every movie!!!
This song explains how i feel to the Dot, casue really, I dont need that shit
Fuck the system

This song means that money is shit and all it does is swallow people.All the possessions are really not what we need.Remember, the best things in life arent things.
Excellent song!
This song is sooo true. It outlines how pathetic society is and how all these people have turned us into materialistic freaks. The singer is trying to get across that you don't need to be materialistic to enjoy life. Soooo true!
this song is about the material world and how we dont really need it. the video for this song is purely amazing. coby does a good job of singing on this song
This song is ACUALLY about...
Ok, Papa Roach was recording in LA, where everybody revolves around money and possessions...
And them, being only a local band, felt like new fish, and small. They wrote this song explaining that not everthing revolves around money and how there are things that can't be solved by a 20 dollar bill... they wrote this song half way through the recording of there album Infest...
oh maybe your right but I thats pretty well what I said.
i agree with paparoacher, but i still wonder why its called between angels and insects
