@[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.
All you have said is still in my ears
You must have thought you're infallible
Oh no oh no
You're not gonna say that much anymore
Welcome to my peculiar dream
Fact is that I'm here
I'm the master of reality
Hard to see?
But it's real and you will read me
So many ways to go
Before we're sanctified
Few will be chosen ones
Until we fade and die
Kings will be kings
Pawns will be pawns
Aeons of tears
Wildand severe
Blessed be the young
Strong enough to bear
What before long will come
Will be, might never disappear
I know that pride's before the fall
How can I fall if there's none left at all
Tell me tell me
How far can one fall from down below?
It's either time or everyone round
To show us what or who might be exchangable
Disposable
In the game of life we're playing
Close to eternity
I spread my wings and fly
Like from a distant age
I rule and you obey
Kings will be kings
Pawns will be pawns
Aeons of tears
Wild and severe
Blessed be the young
Strong enough to bear
What before long will come
Will be, might never disappear
You must have thought you're infallible
Oh no oh no
You're not gonna say that much anymore
Welcome to my peculiar dream
Fact is that I'm here
I'm the master of reality
Hard to see?
But it's real and you will read me
So many ways to go
Before we're sanctified
Few will be chosen ones
Until we fade and die
Kings will be kings
Pawns will be pawns
Aeons of tears
Wildand severe
Blessed be the young
Strong enough to bear
What before long will come
Will be, might never disappear
I know that pride's before the fall
How can I fall if there's none left at all
Tell me tell me
How far can one fall from down below?
It's either time or everyone round
To show us what or who might be exchangable
Disposable
In the game of life we're playing
Close to eternity
I spread my wings and fly
Like from a distant age
I rule and you obey
Kings will be kings
Pawns will be pawns
Aeons of tears
Wild and severe
Blessed be the young
Strong enough to bear
What before long will come
Will be, might never disappear

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Great song! No idea what it's supposed to mean. Best I can figure it's a person with a superiority complex. Haha
it's about the paradise:the kings are the christians who believe in God and the other kings are this people who will live in paradise
I've heard this album from the first time when I was about 13 years old, and now, more than 15 years have been gone and I finally have an idea of the meanings of the lyrics from this album, which is by the way, my favourite one from the band. The lyrics of this album are clearly inspired by the occultism. As the album is said to be inspired in the Nostradamus' prophecies, it clearly shows to the audience that it has an influence from the occultism.
In many secret societies members believe that before the great flood, the world was ruled by fallen angels, or in other words, by ancient gods, whose tirany was stopped through the great flood. Most of the occultists believe that soon these gods are coming back to rule the world.
"Close to eternity I spread my wings and fly Like from a distant age I rule and you obey"
And the author plays with this thought also in this verse:
"Blessed be the young Strong enough to bear What before long will come"
Le'ts see another verse:
"I know that pride's before the fall How can I fall if there's none left at all Tell me tell me How far can one fall from down below?"
Here the author brings question about the eternal condemnation (fall). Is hell so bad as one might believe? Is the hole so deep and isn't it possible to climb it back after you fall? Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
I know that this lyics allows many interpretations, but it might be analyzed in the context of the whole album, which is full of references to the occultism.
@Yohanbaroni I forgot to mention the main part of the chorus:<br /> <br /> "Kings will be kings<br /> Pawns will be pawns"<br /> <br /> It might be a reference to the belief that comes from some secret societies, that the illuminated people, that is to say, the rulling class, the elite, are the heirs of the gods, and in the opinion of some of them, they have the same blood of the gods, and it bestows them to rule the world as their own will and it makes them more apt to control the non-illuminated. They always will be rulers, while the rest of the mankind will be simply pawns.<br /> <br />
