@[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.
Cuéntame como va cayendo el sol
Mientras hablas pensaré
Qué guapa estás, qué suerte ser
La mitad del cuento de un atardecer
Que observo al escucharte
Porque mis ojos son tu voz
Acércate, que cuando estemos piel con piel
Mis manos te dibujarán
Tu aroma me dirá tu edad
Junto a ti, unidos sin saber por qué
Seguramente se me note
El resplandor de una ilusión
Porque a tu lado puedo olvidar
Que para mí siempre es de noche
Pero esta noche es como un atardecer
Si logras que a la vida me asome
Tus ojos sean los que brillen
Y la luna que la borren
Que en mi eterna oscuridad
El cielo tiene nombre, tu nombre
Qué no daría yo por contemplarte
Aunque fuera un sólo instante
Hace frío, es tarde y tienes que volver
Que alguien que te espera, seguro
Una vez más el tiempo se nos fue
¿Volverás?, dime si mañana volverás
Como lo has hecho cada tarde
Para contarme cómo muere el día
Y se marchó, ella se alejó de él
Pero como en las cartas dos puntos, posdata
Se me olvidaba, no me presenté
Sólo fui testigo por casualidad
Hasta que de pronto, él me preguntó
Era bella, ¿no es verdad?
Más que la luna dije yo, y él sonrió
Nunca más se hará reproches
Por intentar amanecer
No volverá a perderse en la noche
Porque su alma hoy brilla con más fuerza
Que un millón de soles
Pero, en su eterna oscuridad
A veces se le oye a voces
Qué no daría yo por contemplarte
Aunque fuera un sólo instante
Por intentar amanecer
No volverá a perderse en la noche
Porque su alma hoy brilla con más fuerza
Que un millón de soles
Pero, en su eterna oscuridad
A veces se le oye a voces
Qué no daría yo por contemplarte
Aunque fuera un sólo instante
Qué no daría yo por contemplarte
Aunque fuera un sólo instante
Mientras hablas pensaré
Qué guapa estás, qué suerte ser
La mitad del cuento de un atardecer
Que observo al escucharte
Porque mis ojos son tu voz
Acércate, que cuando estemos piel con piel
Mis manos te dibujarán
Tu aroma me dirá tu edad
Junto a ti, unidos sin saber por qué
Seguramente se me note
El resplandor de una ilusión
Porque a tu lado puedo olvidar
Que para mí siempre es de noche
Pero esta noche es como un atardecer
Si logras que a la vida me asome
Tus ojos sean los que brillen
Y la luna que la borren
Que en mi eterna oscuridad
El cielo tiene nombre, tu nombre
Qué no daría yo por contemplarte

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."

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about a blind guy, who always waits for her friend to tell him how is the sunset, how's life and he obviously is in love with her.
Then he ask her "volverás? Dime si mañana volverás como lo has hecho cada tarde para contarme cómo muere el dÃa" (will you come back? Tell me if you'll come back as you have done it every day to tell me how the day dies)
And then she leaves, but she never comes back.... "sólo fui testigo por casualidad, hasta que de pronto él me preguntó: era bella no es verdad? Más que la luna, dije yo, y el sonrió (by chance i was a witness, suddenly he asked me: she was beautiful, wasn't she? More than the moon, i said, and he smiled)
So, the girl died and this is why she never returned to see him.
This song is beautiful!!!! :)
