@[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.
You said you've got your shit together you said this time you'd do it right. Small craft advisory bad weather up ahead it's time you thought about your life. I'm preaching to the choir all the shit you've heard before. And then you put it down and turn yourself around only to hurry back for more. The fuse is lit and getting shorter by the minute. I wish I could make it end and then you conjure it again. Don't want to be another number in the countdown to your end. Your're gonna hurt yourself your're gonna hurt the ones you love. I know you did your best better than all the rest when pushing came to shove. There comes a time in every person's life when they question life or death. It's time to take control time to take a different road. It's worth every single breath. The clock is running out it's time to make your move. I wish I could make it end and then you conjure it again. Don't want to be another number in the countdown to your end. I'm counting down. I know that everything's not perfect not even close. I know that everyone's got problems just like you. Enlighten me oh "product of environment" that's not excuse. Excuse after excuse it's self-abuse you've come unglued. And now I'm hoping that you'll learn before it gets too late. I wish that I could make it end and then you conjure it again. Don't want to be another number in the countdown to your end.

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."
