@[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.
The crowd came to silence
The spotlights are shining
A tale has to be told
In any age
All the world is a stage
A play will now begin
There once was a child
With a dream in his mind
And a thousand things to learn
But with each passing day
His childhood sleeps away
How soon the first act ends
All the dreams that we have
Are lost along the way
Victims of real life
Now the child is a boy
And new dreams have evolved
He strives to make them real
Not the fear in his heart
Nor a past full of pain
Will take away his hope
But how cruel life is
And although he resists
New problems will appear
So he'll loose one more chance
Time destroys all his plans
The second act is done
All the dreams that we have
Are lost along the way
Victims of real life
We are looking
For the meaning of our lives
But our faults remain the same
And the truth
Will be distant from our hearts
Where our dreams will never end
But our fate is in command
Now the boy is a man
Though his visions remain
He knows they have no chance
A heart full of hate
All his hope driven away
Life's worn down his defence
How many lives
In the world born and die
In disillusionment
Not allowed to have dreams
And one day make'em real
This tale will never end
All the dreams that we have
Are lost along the way
Victims of real life
We are looking
For the meaning of our lives
But our faults remain the same
And the truth
Will be distant from our hearts
Where our dreams will never...
We are looking

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
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.
