@[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.
I swear she has the best hair,
I love her ass,
I love her eyes,
I love her tits,
I love her thighs,
I like her smile.
She's so rad,
I really want to be with her,
'cause she's the kind of girl...
I wish I had a fake I.D.,
that said i'm seventeen
and it'd be so good,
and she can tell her mom its me,
and we could be together... it could be
so good
so good
I wanna be with her,
I think I should
but I know it can't
why can't it be?...
just 'cause there's some dumb law that says she has to be at least 18.
Her mom says I am too old,
but i'm only 21,
I feel so young,
i'm having fun,
and what if she's the one for me?
I'd have to wait till she's 18 to see if she and I will ever be
and thats not fair,
I say screw that law 'cause I don't care,
I think it's wrong 'cause I can't wait that long.
If her mom understood then I could be with her,
I wish she would,
but I know she can't,
so I think to myself
oh why cant it be?...
just 'cause theres some dumb law that says she as to be at least 18.
If her mom heard this song maybe she would understand.
Maybe she might get mad that I am in a band,
I had this dream she liked it, though,
I dreamt I saw her in the front row,
waving her hands up in the air,
singing as though she didn't care.
Oh it could be,
so good,
so good,
I wanna be with her,
I think I should,
but I know I can't,
why cant it be?
Just 'cause theres some dumb law that says she has to be at least 18.
If her mom understood then I could be with her,

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."

yeah, it's a pretty straightforward song. most of theirs are.
in any case, i'm just curious as to whether this was based on an actual struggle, or if it's just a song about a hypothetical conflict.
