@[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.
Escapin the situation,
im outta the trap zone, (trap zone)
the ringers turned off on my, cellular phone (cellular phne)
the interm wants to be...detector, hold up, the silver money fold up, black and the cold is commin by me
you got to get away, you got to get away
you got to get away, because were here to stay
my gettaway is the boat(boat)
P.O.39 by the westside(holla)
my skin is on point (on point)
im more easy to rob,
police on my trail, i gotta slide away like that express mail (mail, mail)
you got to get away, you got to get away
you got to get away, because were here to stay
you got to get away, you got to get away
you got to get away, because were here to stay
my imagination surprise you,
like the new york city subway,
third rail, one half is missing, three third fail
cant track down, by the phone, what if we lie by email
we get our-men..the bac-ck allys in, that look familiar inna highschool, baby, we gotta get away
we get up on us too, silent screams in red and blue, lonely streetlights that dont love my name, looks familar, we get our way, baby
you got to get away, you got to get away
you got to get away, because were here to stay
you got to get away, you got to get away
you got to get away, because were here to stay
im outta the trap zone, (trap zone)
the ringers turned off on my, cellular phone (cellular phne)

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Awesome song, with a catching chorous
I agree, mint song. Mike is hardcore 24/7
The character had a falling out with his dad (or friend), tries to rationalize what happened and why, and tries to make peace.
the line that's listed here as "daddy you're still my friend" sounds quite clearly to me like "that you're still my friend."
i think the song is from the POV of someone who's been screwed over by a friend and realizes that the person's a complete jerkoff, but is willing to let it slide one last time. there's a warning right there in the song title - don't even trip. you screw up once, even in the smallest little way, and it's all over.
Anyone think this could be directed towards Trey Spruance?
facelift, if that song is directed towards Trey Spruance then it's a complete joke. The lyrics in Peeping Tom are brilliant cause they fit on every listener, plus Mike Patton doesn't really take himself seriously.
Anyway, this song is about old friends and a really big warning towards one of them. The main character realizes the other one is nothing but a fuck and asks himself if they're still friends. Probably yes.
This song has a serious dose of Patton's humor which is damn weird and I totally love it.
I was just thinking that because lately i've been reading on various forums from people talking about rumors surrounding the breakup of Bungle and some are who supposedly close to some of the members. The most common reason that came up was some pretty serious fights between Mike and Trey.
Upon first listen, I immediately thought, "Trey." And what many people forget is that the meanings of songs are usually more specific in the beginning. Or they may stay that way, and the artist himself or herself may alter the "meaning" for the general public. After all, the second person is "still [his] friend." What kind of friend throws another under the bus with a song, especially a tongue in cheek trip hop song?

its most def "that your my friend" and not "daddy your my friend"
i think this song is from the POV of god or at least a spirit that has been with the person he is singing to for a long long time. i think he is trying to give him words of inspiration even though he calls him a piece of shit, he calls him that because he knows what mankind is, pretty shitty at times. but the words of inspiration come from saying "drop that gun you aint my fucking hero, think its cool to be a fuckin zero" cause he wants the subject to be an influence in people's lives but its not the right way to go, and then, "speak up now, and one of you is a hundred loud, when you preach they'll join you on the roofs and streets" he is saying, use your words instead of weapons, and the people will listen to him, as if he was a born leader. i kind of think the long was set up for a person with dilusions of grandeur and what his "voices" in his head are telling him, but this time, those voices might be right.
