@[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.
They'll come soon
I keep waiting, and I wait
Won't somebody save me
And if you're feeling lucky
Come and take me home
And if you feel loved
If you feel lucky
If you feel loved
If you feel lucky
If you feel loved
You've crossed the walls, excelled
Further along through their hell
All for my heart, I watch you kill
You always have, you always will
Now spread your wings and sail out to me
Now spread your wings and sail out to me
So if you're feeling lucky
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
If you feel loved
(If you feel lucky) you've crossed the walls, excelled
(If you feel loved) further along through their hell
(If you feel lucky) for my heart, I watch you kill
(If you feel loved) you always have, you always will
(If you feel lucky, if you feel loved)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel lucky, if you feel loved) (You always have you always will)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel lucky, if you feel loved) (You always have you always will)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel loved, if you feel lucky)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel loved, if you feel)
I keep waiting, and I wait
Won't somebody save me
And if you're feeling lucky
Come and take me home
And if you feel loved
If you feel lucky
If you feel loved
If you feel lucky
If you feel loved
You've crossed the walls, excelled
Further along through their hell
All for my heart, I watch you kill
You always have, you always will
Now spread your wings and sail out to me
Now spread your wings and sail out to me
So if you're feeling lucky
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
Come and take me home
If you feel loved
(If you feel lucky) you've crossed the walls, excelled
(If you feel loved) further along through their hell
(If you feel lucky) for my heart, I watch you kill
(If you feel loved) you always have, you always will
(If you feel lucky, if you feel loved)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel lucky, if you feel loved) (You always have you always will)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel lucky, if you feel loved) (You always have you always will)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel loved, if you feel lucky)
Spread your wings and sail out to me (If you feel loved, if you feel)

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
Radiohead
Radiohead
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i could be totally wrong but after listening to this song several times i kind of paint a picture of the author (chino) being out somewhere and under the influence of alcohol. the tempo and vibe of the song is very different than the rest of the record, which causes it to stand out. the music sort of feels very sexual and erotic. i think the song is basically chino daring some one to try and pick him up. almost like an ego thing "you think your good enough for me? come and get some", like in those old clint eastwood moves where he challenges someone to pull a gun because he knows he's quicker and a better shot. so i just sort of get the impresson of chino being out, drunk or buzzed and waiting for someone to make a move. "spread your wings and sail out to me" kind of makes me think of describing a girl spreading her legs and inviting him in. of course maybe i'm just a sick little pervert.
It's about giving up your convictions and just whoring youself out for anything. You know, maybe you're drunk and will sleep with someone GAWD Awful just because you drunk and bored.
I completely agree with magistar's interpretation. I think this song is about someone who is bitter and disillusioned with life seducing a young, inexperienced, and naive person to ease their own pain. It's basically about sex and misplaced affection.
"Won't somebody save me" -- implies that he is miserable, but unable to help himself. He needs someone to dull the pain.
"You've crossed the walls, excelled" -- person has surpassed their expectations, and crossed the 'wall' into his heart. This does not necessarily mean he loves that person; he simply takes notices of the fact that the naive person is truly devoted to him: "You always have / You always will"
"Further along through their hell / All for my heart, I watch you kill" I interpret these 2 lines as the naive person hurting other people who are close to them just to satisfy their seducer. That could be breaking up with your current partner, or distancing yourself from friends/family, etc
"Now spread your wings and sail out to me" whenever someone says "spread your wings", they're usually referring to a young adult who's coming of age and blossoming into adulthood. It also has a double meaning: angels have wings, and his young victim is also going to be his saviour
Finally, here's my analysis of the chorus: "And if you're feeling lucky Come and take me home And if you feel loved" -- refers to the gamble that the seduced victim is making. When you bring someone home, how do you know they're not dangerous? Or a psychopath? when you fall in love with somenoe, what if you don't know who they really are? Earlier I said that this song was partly about misplaced affection, and here's where I got that interpretation. The young victim believes that they're in love, but they have no idea if they're making a mistake or not.
The singer is telling them to take a chance with him and save him if they "feel lucky" -- even though it may not be a good decision...
sex?
hmm, im not sure about this one. for some reason i get a picture of chino spreading his arms wide open, inviting something evil in. whatever it is, its always been that way and he excepts that it always will. its almost like he doesnt care if they have done something evil, he still loves them or atleast wants them to "come and take (him) home" if they are willing to commit to him then he is willing to take them in. but im really not sure, thats just the picture i get...
It sounds like a prostitute drawing someone in slowly night after night convincing them its safe...even though its really not
this really is a twisted song or maybe its me. Are you feeling lucky?
I like this song's eerie tone...the beat also really adds to the song's tempo
its about giving in to your tempations.
i think jenee is onto it. ive heard that this song is about chino killing hookers. theres actually arguments that chino has gotten more and more out of control as time goes on, this is visible in terms of heroin and eating cuz now hes a fat bloated fuck. but the lyrics of lifter, around the fur, elite, and lucky you give listeners an album by album, step by step look at chinos growing affinity to abusing prostitutes.
hmmm, i dunno, i think its about chino needing someone who he cant talk to right now and he wants to know do they think they can help him...
