This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When the dance floor's full all the kids look so beautiful
When the dance floor's full all the kids look indivisible
The disremembered stars of architectural disasters
The disremembered stars as bright and lost as fireflies in jars
Do you really want to stay amongst these starving stowaways?
Do you really want to stay lost?
When the dance floor clears
I take a pack of matches as a souvenir
When the dance floor clears
I walk home alone with their voices still in my ears
The ghosts of dead teenagers sing to me while I am dancing
They're sad and young, and they'll be sad and young forever
And I cry until I throw up
When the dance floor's full all the kids look indivisible
The disremembered stars of architectural disasters
The disremembered stars as bright and lost as fireflies in jars
Do you really want to stay amongst these starving stowaways?
Do you really want to stay lost?
When the dance floor clears
I take a pack of matches as a souvenir
When the dance floor clears
I walk home alone with their voices still in my ears
The ghosts of dead teenagers sing to me while I am dancing
They're sad and young, and they'll be sad and young forever
And I cry until I throw up

@[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
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."

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This My Favorite's best song. It could be put onto an 80s mixtape alongside Duran Duran, A-ha, and A Flock of Seagulls and no one would notice; the difference is that this song doesn't contain any of the cheesiness associated with some of the artists from that period, and the lyrical depth gives artists like Morrissey a good run for seeing who can write the most depressing upbeat piece possible.
It is admitting to yourself that you're growing away from the club scene. And all of your friends are still having the time of their lives wrapped up in it. You begin to see how they now all look the same--how they appear "indivisible." And you realize, twofold, that you were no different and that it's the same scripted actions every night. "Do you really want to stay lost?" So you take one last memory of your time there...and you never look back. "They're sad and young, and they'll be sad and young forever." It's admitting that the people you loved won't be the same people you need anymore. You've changed. "And I cry until I throw up."
It is the representation of dancing all night by yourself after the loss of a friend.
