@[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.
Just a calendar day (ba ba ba ba)
its funny how things can stay the same
or drastically change
some things seem so close on some days but still so far away
dont know the right tings to do (ba ba ba ba)
in fact i dont have a clue sometime i feel like a tool
and i want to be truthfully true to you
and do all the things that you do
but when i hate everything about the mean things that i say
it feels like i mess up so much and i can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
but you tell me im OK
and one day one day i know you'll say
"B im so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
because the truth you know is that i have just been hating so many things i do
but now i realize forever that you're my friend
no matter what you will never leave me to fend
i don't know much but i know we will be
as happy as a 1950's TV family
except times infinity
two calendar days (ba ba ba ba)
and still my life is the same
and other people's have changed
i wonder what if im too late
all the time that i said i would wait?
and yeah does anyone care
about us here or anywhere?
well i just want to try adn dare
to be there, to care cus i know- i know thats rare
but when i hate everything about the mean things that i say
it feels like i mess up so much and i can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
but you tell me im OK
and one day one day i know you'll say
"B im so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
because the truth you know is that i have just been hating so many things i do
but now i realize forever that you're my friend
no matter what you will never leave me to fend
i don't know much but i know we will be
as happy as a 1950's TV family
except times infinity
a family that i will be in
a family- its jsut not pretend
a familt that i will be in, a family
i don't know much but i know we will be
happy as a 1950's TV family..
except times infinity
just a calendar day.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I don't understand what he means by "except times infinity"..?
