@[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.
Welcome to the end of the night, where everyone reeks of stale smoke, dirty jokes
Stop me if you've heard this one
The ransoms over, where's my cut, cut, cut, cut?
Skewered on an open flame I bought you off the spit
Pose for me, pose for me
Paws and knees trace around the switchblade gash
We're all born fresh, but now we rot, rot, rot, rot
I'm the bastard kid of a dead-beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Does that sound good to you?
It sounds good to me, baby
I'm the lucky son of a bitch you need to keep alive your losing streak
I've got one more trick up my sleeve
Does that work for you?
Well it works for me, baby
And you can't tear your eyes away ‘cause she's got such a pretty face
And one filthy fucking mind
I will wait outside the gates
And I won’t leave ‘til you show me what's on the inside
I can't shake this lack of sleep
It feasts on me
‘Til you show me what’s on the inside
I'm the bastard kid of a dead-beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Is that good for you?
Well it’s good for me, baby
Our mothers sleep with lottery dreams
Our fathers built the pyramid schemes
Nothing is ever what it seems
But it works for you
‘Cause it works for me
You just had yourself a taste of how sweet the life could be if you could just leave yours behind.
Stop me if you've heard this one
The ransoms over, where's my cut, cut, cut, cut?
Skewered on an open flame I bought you off the spit
Pose for me, pose for me
Paws and knees trace around the switchblade gash
We're all born fresh, but now we rot, rot, rot, rot
I'm the bastard kid of a dead-beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Does that sound good to you?
It sounds good to me, baby
I'm the lucky son of a bitch you need to keep alive your losing streak
I've got one more trick up my sleeve

And you can't tear your eyes away ‘cause she's got such a pretty face

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
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.
I can't believe no one comments any more well this song is sick I haven't really given the meaning any thought though
i agree with sick1 rofl, i've been enjoying this song too much to be thinking of meanings.
