@[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.
Way down in Git'mo
That's Guantanamo Bay
That's where bad guys belong, even if they've done no wrong
'Cause we need someone to blame
Well our nation gets a bit more safe each time I make my special cake
With the red, white, and blue icing on the top
And I shout the loudest 'USA' each time I'm in the church to pray
And I drink gasoline to support the troops in Iraq
Those terrorists are just a lousy God and war-crazed bunch
And I can't understand them because they're nothing like us
It's a shame that they hate freedom because it's pretty awesome stuff
But since they do they won't mind when we lock them up
Thank God for Git'mo, that's Guantanamo Bay
Keep them chained to the floor,
'Cause we're fighting this war the American way
Well on the news they often say that this upcoming holiday
Is the perfect time for another attack
It's not baised on intelligence but still it makes a lot of sense
To be on alert and always watch my back
But if I don't have my barbecue, the terrorists have won
And if my neighbor brings his Arab friends
I'll call the Pentagon
This war on terror's going so great, because all the Muslims
Have been kind enough to give up all their rights
Oh God bless Git'mo, that's Guantanamo Bay
When there's a hunger strike
We force-feed them to life
'CAUSE WE NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME
Now don't you see, we can't charge them with anything
They're guilty 'cause we want someone to bleed
Don't you see? September chaged everything
We'll have no peace until someone out there bleeds
Don't you see? They cannot be freed
We keep them 'cause we need someone to bleed
That's Guantanamo Bay
That's where bad guys belong, even if they've done no wrong
'Cause we need someone to blame
Well our nation gets a bit more safe each time I make my special cake
With the red, white, and blue icing on the top
And I shout the loudest 'USA' each time I'm in the church to pray
And I drink gasoline to support the troops in Iraq
Those terrorists are just a lousy God and war-crazed bunch
And I can't understand them because they're nothing like us
It's a shame that they hate freedom because it's pretty awesome stuff
But since they do they won't mind when we lock them up
Thank God for Git'mo, that's Guantanamo Bay
Keep them chained to the floor,
'Cause we're fighting this war the American way
Well on the news they often say that this upcoming holiday
Is the perfect time for another attack
It's not baised on intelligence but still it makes a lot of sense
To be on alert and always watch my back

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Love this one.
