@[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.

[Intro, MC Nate]
hey, welcome to the orientation
my name's Nate and I'll be your homie for this year
today we'll be moving into our dorms and building community
so go get your keys from the main office
come back,and get ready to meet your roommates
alright?
(alright alright alright)
He was the roommate from hell
He was the roommate from hell
[verse 1, MC Lars]
Satan was my roommate, so junior year was hell
he lacked social skills and had a pudgent smell
when your roommate is the devil it can be extremely wack
putting posters on the wall of Trapt and Nickelback
until the break of dawn he'd be mutilating sheep
it's 4 A.M. Satan, can you please go to sleep?
I can't have girls over when the dorm smells like Sterno
when did room 56 become Dante's Inferno?
he likes death and destruction, I like radio and art
he likes holding down Christians and reading (?)
while I'm going class studying my notes
he's eating baby fetuses and sacrificing goats
he tricks the freshmen girls into eating apples
holding black masses down at the campus chapel
should of never moved in (but no) wished I were dead
should of found a place off campus on Craig's List instead
[chorus]
he was the roommate from hell
his name was Lucifier
someone call a priest
and bring the crucifer
he was the roommate from hell
leaves his pitchfork in my bed
I'm in a satanic panic
cuz he is messing with my head
[repeat chorus]
(yo)
(wut)
(pass the dope helium over here yo)
(okay, but wait... Satan, that's too much!)
[verse 2, mcchris]
boy you need a bitch slap, not my fault we're mismatched
you geek out over Beakman's World, I dig out World of Witchcraft
you thinkin' that I'm riff-raff, huffin' on a dishrag
I am just a player, play Slayer then I kick back
I know I reek of sulfer, leave the shower curtain open
I come home drunk, make crank calls to (?)
but college is like Salem, all these bitches be so smokin'
if you're thinkin' that I'm leavin' then I'm thinkin' that you're jokin'
I gotta share my bong with this post-punk chump
(?) says you've been through all my stuff
"I wish you'd go to hell", I say "hey that's where I'm from"
blast Death Cab and Devo, he's too emo to get crunk
I was a very nice boss down in Paradise Lost
I have very nice bling cuz my minions (?)
colleges is knowledge at a very high cost
gotta go do some blow with that ho Kate Moss
[repeat chorus]
[outro, mcchris]
Lars you're causing laughter
when you call yourself a rapper dude
how many dope albums are there named after you?
I always got beer, I always got weed
best roommate ever if you ever asked me

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
