@[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.
waking up was the hardest thing we all had to look forward to
ignoring sirens ringing interrupting silent voids for you
i was left i was left on my own
not enough to care for in the absence of all i know
you're story was thickening as self experienced self
each individual now would seem like no one else
count my sins as i cast them aside
letting all that was me from darkening inside
this was it
this was it
with no positive outlet
as time persists
no time exists
within all we had discovered
this resist
everyone knew and yet no one wanted to say
must be scared that all our words would make everything go away
fault in deed is a fault at my side
sorrows come and i take them all in stride
oh i
call upon this anything with anybody a burning sing falling out to see the love
i coming out
is it a heart or my head calling out the mind?
is it the same as the last time before?
some have heard we can know all lies
battling our supposed right
casting out all suspicious eyes
rotting horror still insight
causing sorrow still inside
all i knew was that the times before had gone
and now the times forward had come
and there was nothing more for me to run
wrap my heart as i leave them alone
lieing by on my own lying on my own
was i a disease or was i to be deceased?
was i to be blamed for all i now could see?
"i was left, i was left on my own"
now all i created had become my home
all lies
-left by my side
-and i take it all in stride
-and the silence all abides
as i learn this beating heart beating on
i know your love does not make it wrong
i know
this pain that we create
this pain that we create
this pain that we create
stop
ignoring sirens ringing interrupting silent voids for you

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."

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,
