@[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.
Good morning class [Go!]
Life is like a school
No applications just pick your class
No matter how smart, any old fool
Is accepted and theres no exams to pass
High grades or low grades you'll get to choose
Your very own class mates, some of them you'll lose
Others stay to the bitter end
And that goes for both fiend and friend
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
Your time here can seem very short
So why not get the best out of it
True friends will show their support
Get rid of the ones that don't give a shit
For once in your life let loose and have fun
After each moon there'll be yet another sun
Your destiny depends on a choice
There's more than one path to rejoice
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
When you think you do right
You can be wrong in your teachers eyes
Grab the chance when in sight
Just follow the flow and improvise
24/7 school is all year long
Bad times leaves scars but make you strong
Enjoy while you can
Is the recipe to die a happy man
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
Don't think you'll get saved by the bell
When class is over its time to go
On your way to tour heaven or hell
A graduation party 6 feet below
Don't let yourself dictate by the pure
They're mind-slaves, ignorant, and insecure
Remember your in control
There ain't no rules in the school of Rock'n'roll
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
Life is like a school
No applications just pick your class
No matter how smart, any old fool
Is accepted and theres no exams to pass
High grades or low grades you'll get to choose
Your very own class mates, some of them you'll lose
Others stay to the bitter end
And that goes for both fiend and friend
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
Your time here can seem very short
So why not get the best out of it
True friends will show their support
Get rid of the ones that don't give a shit
For once in your life let loose and have fun
After each moon there'll be yet another sun
Your destiny depends on a choice
There's more than one path to rejoice
Semper fi, you graduate and then you die
Nekro high for life until you die
You graduate then it's goodbye
When you think you do right
You can be wrong in your teachers eyes
Grab the chance when in sight
Just follow the flow and improvise
24/7 school is all year long

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

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Amazing

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.
