@[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.
As they feed the war machine and pull the strings behind the scenes
With a bloated sense of supremacy
Blinded by the preconceived distorted way to be perceived
It's what believed by your enemy
Hold on to something here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing self-contained
How much more can you take
Might is right and though is wrong it's along road nowhere
Enjoy the ride with blinders on
Your government is in control they'll keep you safe inside your homes
Board your windows lock your doors let freedom ring
Hold on to something here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing self-contained
How much more can you take
Before you break
Let freedom ring
Unto the dawn of darkness glistening
Faithless savior murder me
Feed me to failure disbelief
What does it take everything I could want believe
Feed me to failure faithless savior murder me
Finish me feed me to failure murder me
Finish me what does it take to stop me
Finish me nothing could make me not believe
Won't let this world get me finish me
I'll never live your life for me unto the dawn
Unto the dawn of darkness
Unto the dawn glistening
Feed me to failure finish me
Feed me to failure murder me
Unto the dawn of darkness finish me
Finish me unto the dawn murder me
Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me
Will I ever learn the way everywhere I turn today
Something tells me runaway something burns inside me
Even though I've pressed erase
Feel it slowly fade away
Thoughts that go on endlessly
How much longer can I wait
What does it take what does it take
Caught in the wave of the world around me
And this state I'm sure it could drowned me
Caught in the wave of the world around me
And this state I'm sure it could drowned me
What does it take what does it take
Will I ever learn the way everywhere I turn today
Something tells me runaway something burns inside me
Even though I've pressed erase
Feel it slowly fade away
Thoughts that go on endlessly
How much longer can we wait
Caught in the wave of the world around me
And in this state I'm sure it could drowned me
With a bloated sense of supremacy
Blinded by the preconceived distorted way to be perceived
It's what believed by your enemy
Hold on to something here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing self-contained
How much more can you take
Might is right and though is wrong it's along road nowhere
Enjoy the ride with blinders on
Your government is in control they'll keep you safe inside your homes
Board your windows lock your doors let freedom ring
Hold on to something here come the rains
This damn is about to break
Hold on to nothing self-contained
How much more can you take
Before you break
Let freedom ring
Unto the dawn of darkness glistening
Faithless savior murder me
Feed me to failure disbelief
What does it take everything I could want believe
Feed me to failure faithless savior murder me
Finish me feed me to failure murder me
Finish me what does it take to stop me
Finish me nothing could make me not believe
Won't let this world get me finish me

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."
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The end of the part where it says "your government is in control" It doesn't say "Let Freedon Ring" yet - They dont say that until the end of the next little stanza after "before you break". Just a little lyric correction.
Also I'm pretty sure it should be "This dam is about to break" - since the actual thing called a dam (holds water in) fits the sentence more than damn - an expression.
Since every lyrics site I know has these same flawed lyrics, I can't say for sure who Copy/Pasted who.
The background lyric is the first part of the song yes, but slightly changed.
Like instead of "With a bloated sense of supremacy" - they say "The Puppet winks with a bloated sense of supremacy" - They add that first part on.
And instead of "its whats beleived by your enemy" they say "Its not True, its whats beleived by your enemy"
and the last few times they do the background thing - It sounds almost totally different than the first verse.
