@[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.
Hey!
What do you say
I got a fifty million dollar contract
Coming my way
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
So don't think I know what's wrong
You're lacking out of wit and stories
But you can't push us down
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
You've been missing
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all
Hey!
I got a fifty million dollar contract
Coming my way
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
With a mission
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
To all you liars
You will be tired
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told
Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
You've been missing
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all
Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
With a mission
To all you liars
You will be tired
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told
What do you say
I got a fifty million dollar contract
Coming my way
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
So don't think I know what's wrong
You're lacking out of wit and stories
But you can't push us down
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
i first heard living in america and then this one.. so both seem somewhat anti-america... and the video for this one had a flashing sign in the backgroundthat says america.. my initial thought was that it was about immigrants and how the immigrants make the country... yeah.. great song!
i think this song is a joke against those elitist artists who brag and sing about money "this song is not for you only for people living like we do and not for the true"
No, I don't think so. "This song is (...) only for people living like we do and not for the true" - I take the first line literally and then this one signifies that the "true" fans can go f**k themselves. All those who don't want their favorite bands to become successfull, who don't want the music to be accessible for "mainstream" people.
i agree with ...actually, all of you..
but braveryexists openes my eyes. i know the feeling, and whenever i feel that, i feel guilty and selfish.
but hey, who can stop what i feel.
i agree with most of everyone. I LOVE THE SOUNDSSSSSSSSSSSS SOOOO MUCH.
parody to all gwen stefanis singing about their "million dollar contracts"
me, this song is alrightt . ii agree with mostly everyone too !
Thought they said "this song is not for Jews." Farking anti-semite bitches.
