@[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.
Calling, distorting
Reach the ends for you
Burn a hole right through
Talking, we keep talking
Filling empty space
In this lonely frame
As the image fades in to one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Twisting, constricted
On the edge for you
You know I'd jump right through
Falling, we keep stalling
I can see the ground
Someplace new to land
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Can't think about tomorrow
Because you, feel yourself
Fall apart again
You hold your face inside your aching hands
The angels tears come flooding down again
Bring us back again
Yearning, returning
To this empty street
As the city sleeps
Tearing, despairing
As the day comes in
As the morning sings
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Can't think about tomorrow
Reach the ends for you
Burn a hole right through
Talking, we keep talking
Filling empty space
In this lonely frame
As the image fades in to one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Twisting, constricted
On the edge for you
You know I'd jump right through
Falling, we keep stalling
I can see the ground
Someplace new to land
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Can't think about tomorrow
Because you, feel yourself
Fall apart again
You hold your face inside your aching hands
The angels tears come flooding down again
Bring us back again
Yearning, returning
To this empty street
As the city sleeps
Tearing, despairing
As the day comes in
As the morning sings
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Can't think about tomorrow

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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 can't believe noone's posted for this song!!! what's wrong with you people?!
anyway, not sure what it's about. i think it's saying live for the day or something and don't let things get you down.
related to drummer jon of course.
one of the best songs ever, listen to it in the summer sun, its awesome
Yes it does feel like summer :-)
It's about that you KNOW something horrible is coming tomorrow, but you can put it out of your mind and enjoy yourself for just one day, which is a cheering thought. Reminds me of going back to school and having 3,000 deadlines on top of you, but it's the last day of the holidays and you're damned if you're going to spend them working when you have friends to sit and smoke and talk meaningless crap with. :-)
So many people have taken the 'Comfort in sound' songs only from a perspective of Jon. Grant never intended this. I believe everyone can totally personalise each song to their own.
They way i read it an have always felt about this song is that this couple/friends etc... are trying to Live without pain and drama, just free their minds, put aside the pain and just live today in happiness.
The verses show efforts of communication to reach new horizons...find new ground to grow from, talk and be honest to fill the emptiness which has appeared due to lack of communication and as they strive to brighten their relationship the split, distorted images fade into one.
With the image as one, seeing the relationship as it should be, clear and honest, the day feels good and they feel freedom within their minds as theyve reached new horizons...they've reconnected & its important to focus on 'the now' & not tomorrow.
The interude lyrics show the pain felt, the falling apart inside, the confused emotions, the tears.. the angels tears can cleanse them and they want to be in the image as one, 'bring us back again'
The new day is a new beginning, and they will do anything for one another to ensure this day is blessed with happiness 'refer to on the edge for you' (verse2) and 'the day comes in, morning sings' etc..
Thats my breakdown of this really good Feeder song.
The lyric is not "The angels just come flooding down again", its "The angels tears come flooding down again", i think. It's a beautiful song which actually makes you feel good.
Aw, just heard an interview with the singer, he said this was his favourite Feeder song ^_^
You know, I always thought that this song might be about learning to fly a microlight or a light aircraft ... believe me, there's drama when you do that. But I heard recently that it was about manic depression and bipolar disorder, so what do I know?
