@[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.
Sitting in today
Watching traffic buzzing by
And faces closing in
A victim of regret
It glitters and it fades away
Like silver turning grey
Washed it all away
Waiting for this dream to end
Before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground
The silence seems to suffocate
And bury me again
Waiting for a taste
Of happiness to lift me free
And carry me away
I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight.
Lost another week
Feeling like a leper in
A world of vanity
It's killing me today
Addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Watching traffic buzzing by
And faces closing in
A victim of regret
It glitters and it fades away
Like silver turning grey
Washed it all away
Waiting for this dream to end
Before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground
The silence seems to suffocate
And bury me again
Waiting for a taste
Of happiness to lift me free
And carry me away
I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight.
Lost another week
Feeling like a leper in
A world of vanity
It's killing me today
Addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
I can't believe no one has written i here, this is the best song in the whole world ever!
This is my favourite song without a doubt, it's got beautiful lyrics and is always performed amazingly live, this song to me is one of the ultimate best feeder have done, I LOVE IT :) :) :) xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
This is the bestest song ever made.The lyrics are beautiful and make me cry alot.Grant has the voice to send shivers down r spine.Feeder are the best!
definitely one of grants best but piece by piece is excellent
first song of Feeder's I heard... and it still gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Amazing lyrics and music, can't get enough of it..
why are there not more comments for this and other feeder songs on here..?
im afraid feeder are the best band this side of the world.... and i love this song!!! Especially the lyric: "A victim of regret, it glitters and it fades away, like silver turning grey" - sticks in my mind! Ode to feeder!!!
about the actual meaning- about the past being great, and how you wish it still was there, but the future is coming round the corner and it doesn't look too good. reminds me a little of we can't rewind and also the other feeder lyric "the futures knocking at my door"
One of the most beautiful and well written songs ever.
probably feeders best song they've done to date and one of the best written of any band. over-rated? i don't think so. this is a song to me is like having the perfect day and its finished then you have something bad to look forward to on the next day i.e exam
