Have you ever been so lonely
There is no one there to hold?
Just pull me in or disown me
And then climb inside
My arms are open wide
Have a look inside

It is not that I am scared to learn
Just why I'm empty inside
Hold my hand or show some concern
If I live or die
My eyes are open wide
Help me look inside

Singing ha de de ha ha de de ah

I hear the water drip from the faucet
It's sweetly falling in tune
I'm gently closing the closet and I
Fall to the floor
And crawl to my room
The thought of ending it soon
Just let me sleep in my room

Hear me cry! Cry! Cry!
I hear a knock at the front door
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking
Leave me alone, just go away
Mother I'm so scared, I'm so scared

An empty bed and all of the sheets are gone
They're wrapped around me and you
All is quiet but the drop of my gun
'Cause I, I want to belong, to someone
But maybe life's not for everyone

Ha de de ha ha de de ah

    I heard Justin, the lead singer, do a commentary about it. He wrote it when he was 14 as sort of a confession to his mother so she'd know what was going on with him. Makes me cry again just thinking about it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Mountain Song
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."
