I've got a baby's clean conscience.
I walk around with my head off

And in the state of the big sky
The ground holds on to my grandpa's
I'm always walking back one pace
I'm walking back, head off
And in the state of the black feet
The dirt stores much in my familiy
I'm always walking that one way
That dirt stores much in my family

I blew off my laundry
And my clothes hold on to the dirt, see
And in the state of the black feet
I've got a babys clean conscience
I walk around with my shoes off
And the ground holds on to my bad walk

    Ruthlessvixen, to bad your mostly wrong bitch. just kidding but fa' real. Big Sky = heaven which holds his GRANDPAS... no apostrophe. i'm always walking back one pace. meaning getting nowhere fast. the dirt stores much of my family. think about it... THEY'RE DEAD! you're looking TOOOOO far into it. I'm always walking that one way - He keeps going in the same direction he's always gone in.

    The ground holds onto my bad walk - he is secured by his family. your last paragraph made no sense either. it's just a bunch of words. you use reflects wrongly and you're pretentious. you act like you know everything about what Isaac meant when he wrote the song. like you are Isaac. You could be but probably aren't because Isaac doesn't even analyze his songs that deeply.

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."
