@[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 am up
To my neck
In the shit of mankind
What belongs to the world now
Belongs to the flies
Octophobic translations
And 8, by 8, the window
Withers farther from the soul
Your soul, in a ring, on a spoon
Humans clinging
Entrapment of shadows
The webs and the echoes
That pushpin the mildew
They don't have the courage
To know the things you do.
That little thing you kept inside
To be sure you'd always know
The man you know is never coming home
And it's sad to think
They'll never really know.
Translate the parting duo
That is a chemical reaction
And a widow
And weep, by tribes
And tongues
The universe has come so far
To only come undone?
Well this is the answer
You've been waiting for child
Transmissions cut to clearance
And the skin is wild
I hope you fucking choke on your own spit
The dialect, the derelict
This babel's past the limit
And I've carried off your cure
For far too
Long
Perhaps it's time for you to suffer some (x8)
To my neck

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.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Ok... anyone got a link to this one? I'd love to hear it.
Looks like it might've been the version they created before they came up with the whole Lost Keys / Stoned-guy-in-a-hospital idea...
There do seem to be a few themes in similarity though... judging by the lyrics. I guess looking at the general split and disorientated nature of mankind (seems to be a recurring theme in the 10,000 days album, looking at other songs like Vicarious and Right In Two) The persona in this song also seems to be revealing and expressing his feelings, kinda the same as the album version of this song where he is letting go of all he has to express from inside himself.
I'd love to hear this.
Hell yeah i second JoNNieS K motion!!!!!!!!!!! anyone?!
I have not heard this, however after reading it, I see it more as what the e.t. Said to him on the dmt trip being talked about in the album version... He was told something but forgot his pen. It was a message to pass on to mankind through him. The message speaks of the earth belonging to the flies as in the human race will sease to exist. speaks of the non exisitance of god and that his followers will never know what they wasted their time falsely believing in.... The user has opened his "third eye" previously via other "trips" and has probably engaged in a search for his own existence and the existence of mankind and may be searching into the destiny of mankind. Plain and simple the e.t. Is telling him you are a cancer of the earth there is no hope, the things you falsely believe in will lead to your demise...
