@[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 can travel the world
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you're searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be
They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
That you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes
To exotic locations wont teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact that you are who you are
Nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To were I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
To just be (x3)
I was lost and
I'm still lost but
I feel so much better
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To were I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
To just be
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you're searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be
They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
That you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes
To exotic locations wont teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact that you are who you are
Nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To were I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
To just be (x3)
I was lost and
I'm still lost but
I feel so much better
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To were I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
To just be

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."

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 meaning is simple.... just be yourself and face the world in your own way... do not be others coz you will not be comfortable and you are only do so to please others... you may not understand yourself now but that's the nature of life... I LOVE THIS SONG... the original rocks... the ANTILLAS RADIO EDIT rocks too
fuck i love tiesto.
I saw him perform live last nite ... OMG! Off the hook! His shows are amazing, and I'm sayin this when I saw him sober. Absolutely amazing song and performer. Check him out!
This song is perfect for a late night cruise. The introduction is simple, but amazing! The lyrics are the best I've heard for a while. I see this song as a self-discovery kinda song. You'll never be able to fully understand life, but you should stay true to yourself.
Tiesto is the SHIT. I really like the line, "Make us believe in you." It sounds like a challenge.
I"m in love with Tiesto. I adore this song. I like the line "If you're searching for truth, you must look in the mirror and make sense of what you can see"
so yeah this song is 120% true. be yourself be confident. one of my favorite techno songs. don't know for sure if it is techno though. people are pretty specific.
Amazing song; I love the gfirst half and tend not to listen to the second half. The "I was lost and I’m still lost but I feel so much better" is so brilliantly haunting.
Great song featuring Kirsty Hawkshaw from the good days in the 90's. Remember "It's a fine day" from Opus 3.....same girl...Kirsty Hawkshaw. Great voice.
