@[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.
Take me to the pain, and all the way back again.
Taking me to the pain, and all the way back.
Life sums up in three words: Better than average.
It never comes easy; It's a savage world.
With damage attached, and doses of happiness
In between if you can survive the rest.
The lies that consume you.
(Pain!)
The pain shows you the way.
The feeling kills inside you.
(Pain!)
But you stay, knowing eventually,
The pain goes away.
But you have to get through it somehow.
I'll tell you when; The time isn't now.
I'm on the ground with 110 men, beating the life from me.
I shake off most of them, to reveal my shattered bones.
My stand, my decision, too; My reasons for it all.
I'll take the way of the others.
Straight back to the pain, and all the way back again.
Taking me to the pain, and all the way back.
Forget about taking, seeing past, understanding.
Letting it go, forgiving and forgetting, when we know
Everything we know and doing nothing about it.
We're just puppets with the hand of pain controlling from inside us and it
Takes us to the pain.
Knowing that they hurt us when they take us back around again.
Straight back to the pain, and all the way back.
Could I put it down on paper for you?
Then you're forcing me to suffer you.
I'm on the ground with 110 men, beating the life from me.
I shake off most of them, to reveal my shattered bones.
My stand, my decision, too; My reasons for it all.
I'll take the way of the others.
How alone we are, until the pain comes along.
How alone we are, until the pain comes along.
Just when you think it's never going to pass,
It feels so good at last.
Just when you think it's never going to pass,
It feels so good at last.
It feels so good at last.
It feels so good at last.
It feels so good at last.
I'm on the ground with 110 men, beating the life from me.
I shake off most of them, to reveal my shattered bones.
My stand, my decision, too; My reasons for it all.
I'll take the way of the others.

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
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/
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I really like this song. I guess its about that feeling you get when it feels like the world is against you and theres nothing you can do but take the punishment it so unjustly forces on you.
Does anybody know what the two people (woman & man) are saying in the background? It's somewhere before the "How alone we are, until the pain comes along" - part. All I can understand is something like "It's annoying me" - [...] - "It's gonna stop." - [...] - "Then it's the end." Thanks!
Woman - "Otra vez?" (Again?)<br /> Man - "It's the only way to teach you"<br /> Woman - "Pero duele" (But it hurts)<br /> Man - "It gets better as it gets worse"<br /> Woman - " Y si no para?" ( And if it doesn't stop?)<br /> Man - "it's gonna stop."<br /> Woman - " Y si no para" (And if it doesn't stop?)<br /> Man - "Then it's the end"
thank you!! :D
