@[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.
I want to be in a motercycle gang - gangreen and mean and fucked up all the time. Picture me on the back of a Harley - leather-clad and bad and driving fifty-five. I want to see things I'll never get to see - foreign bronze, klingons, naked girls with purple eyes. Yeah, look at me - sad and low and lonely - dead-end job, a slob, and fucked up all the time. I'm going nowhere. I'd rather go somewhere instead. I'm gonna blow a hole through the back of my head. Don't cry when I say good-bye.

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."

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.
Yeah, It's pretty much about some guy who works in a dead end job who wants out of his life. He wishes he could be something else, but he can't. He just so sick of life so decides he's going to kill himself.
I guess this is the perfect song for those people who are depressed and hate their lives. Like me. :D
i love the beginning of this song.. although my favorite line is 'naked girls with purple eyes' kind of that mystery of life that we all dream of but know isnt entirely real.. anyway, its a damn good song.
Im going to ignore the question about what this song means to me and ask ...Omg will anyone ever firgure out the lyrics to Less than nothing???
I think it's about being unhappy with how things are in your life and wanting to leave.
i use to love this song because its hilarious but then i thought about it. the repetiition of "and fucked up all the time" - in comparision to being in a motorcycle gang and his current life, show that there is no escape from this despair. the life he wants is worthless. the life he wants he has.
Thelonehellion: wow, that's a really interesting interpretation of the song. I never thought of it that way. I always thought of it more as someone who wants to escape...but I definitely like your interpretation more.
I think it may be a bit of both.
Great song, which I can relate to strongly.
i think that it's about wanting to lead a more exciting life. his life is dull, and everything is the same every day, and he can't really change it. the motorcycle gang represents something completely different, and not by society's standards(lawyer, doctor, and all those other "successful" jobs). and i think that "and fucked up all the time" refers to his emotional status.
indeed it is a great song. i hate myself are great, and very original.
i hate myself is an amazing band! i was starting to think i was the only person that ever heard of them.
nope. there's other cool kids out there too. :D
i fucking love them.
