@[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 guess i'll take the long way home tonight
i drive as far as i can drive
just escape the fight
i never said you couldn't hate me
i never said you couldn't shake
so don't cry now baby,
cause youre way to good for that.
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that i oh, no no no
let's let our bodies sleep in today
your bones are much too fragile anyway
your love face your lovely touch
i can't find a bone of love in you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that i oh, no no no no
i wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
as our bodies melt into one in the dark
i wanna hold you close as we fall into the night
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that i oh no, i don't know
i wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
as our bodies melt into one in the dark
i wanna hold you close as we fall into the night
i drive as far as i can drive
just escape the fight
i never said you couldn't hate me
i never said you couldn't shake
so don't cry now baby,
cause youre way to good for that.
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume

that i oh, no no no
let's let our bodies sleep in today
your bones are much too fragile anyway
your love face your lovely touch
i can't find a bone of love in you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that i oh, no no no no
i wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
as our bodies melt into one in the dark
i wanna hold you close as we fall into the night
i tense my toes and close my eyes
as i whisper to you
it's your sweet perfume
the scent of you
that i oh no, i don't know
i wanna feel the beat of your selfish heart
as our bodies melt into one in the dark
i wanna hold you close as we fall into the night

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."

Amazing

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.
mmm i love this songg very amazing i love how its preformed just an amazing song its beautiful
this song, it makes me cry. i love it though, its sung so beautifully and puts a good feeling in my stomach.
this song, it makes me cry. i love it though, its sung so beautifully and puts a good feeling in my stomach.
this song's lyrics win me over. "i cant find a bone of love in you" that line is amazing.
i think its about a relationship where things dont work. he finds comfort in her, even though he sees all these bad qualities.
the notion of the "perfume" and "the scent of you" i think relates to smell being the strongest sense that we remember things by. so he remembers her best by those things. either the good parts or the bad parts of her, im not sure.
i think this song is about someone whose relationship either is about to be over, or should be over because of all the problems in it. even though the girl is flawed, he still cares about her and doesn't want to hurt her. maybe even one of the problems is that their relationship is mostly physical ("i can't find a bone of love in you") and not much more. "as our bodies melt into one in the dark" is definitely referring to physical love, and maybe this song is talking about that.
this reminds me so much of the guy i'm missing right now. he smells so good, and that's one of the things i miss most about being separated from him.
such a pretty song<3 I agree with boombaby.
