@[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.
Here comes the snake and he circles your leg
He's come to play and make your
body parts shake
He comes swervin' down your hall
It'll feel so good when he gives it his all
He's like a jail and you need an escape
Want you to come get a file in your cake
I know he did you wrong and I'm here to give ya what you wanted all along
Here comes the snake
Yes, I believe but I'd rather not pray
What I believe in I'd rather not say baby
Did your God show you the door
Well, I'm here to eat your apple to the core
Here comes the snake
He's come to play and make your
body parts shake
He comes swervin' down your hall
It'll feel so good when he gives it his all
He's like a jail and you need an escape
Want you to come get a file in your cake
I know he did you wrong and I'm here to give ya what you wanted all along
Here comes the snake
Yes, I believe but I'd rather not pray
What I believe in I'd rather not say baby
Did your God show you the door
Well, I'm here to eat your apple to the core
Here comes the snake

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
To me, this song is about sex with the devil. Obviously, it starts off with penis references.
"Here comes the snake and he circles your leg He's come to play and make your body parts shake."
"It'll feel so good when he gives it his all"
But, as Skibz pointed out, it's a little out there ot just be about this guy's manhoood. Here's where the devil comes into play...
"He's like a jail and you need an escape. Want you to come get a file in your cake."
God and all his rules, like jail. The devil doesn't have those rules, he can break you free. He wants you on his side. He'll sex you to show you how much more fun his side would be, the file in the cake, also the "file" is a phallic reference to the feminine "cake".
"I know he did you wrong and I'm here to give ya what you wanted all along."
Let's face it. God let's you down. He's this great guy, that's there for you....but why do you feel so all alone, why so much strife? That doesn't sound like the good guy....but the devil, that trickster, is all about relieving you with sin, fufilling the urges that drive you. To give what you wanted all along, is freedom and ecstacy in the form of instant gratification, implying you don't need to wait for heaven to feel good. He'll make you feel good right NOW.
"Yes, I believe but I'd rather not pray What I believe in I'd rather not say baby"
There is belief, but the "praying" is either unecessary because the devil doesn't care baout being prayed to, he just wants stuff done. Or perhaps praying open to the devil only leads to trouble. He's also baiting you with mystery. "I'd rather not say....." Because any person is tempted to investigate after such a gauntlet is thrown.
"Did your God show you the door Well, I'm here to eat your apple to the core Here comes the snake "
Again, a reference that the good guy left you holding the bag while he was doing something more valiant that using his omnipotence to save you. Not now, Daddy's busy. Right? A lapse in faith occurs, and here comes the snake, as the devil appeared to Eve and tempted her with the apple, which was eventually....eaten to the core. He made it inside you, both physically and spiritually. But, how you feel about that is up to you....
P.S. I'm not on either side, this is just how I see the song. Very cool.
