Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten,
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them.
As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping,
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten.
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place,
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds.
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you?
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear.
So tell me now,
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said: "I don't hate you boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her: "I love you girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have."
And the day pressed on like crushing weights for no man does it ever wait,
Like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes.
Bathed in flames we held the brand uncurled the fingers in your hand.
Pressed into the flesh like sand, now do you understand?
So tell me now,
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said: "I don't hate you boy,
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
That's when I told her: "I love you girl,
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have."
One thousand miles away, there's nothing left to say,
But so much left that I don't know.
We never had a choice, this world is too much noise.
It takes me under, it takes me under once again.
I don't hate you, I don't hate you, no.
So tell me now,
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know.
That's when she said: "I don't hate you boy,

I don't hate you, I don't hate you.
I don't hate you, I don't hate you, no.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
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."
@HunterL I came here looking to see if this song was related to mother nature, since I know many Rise Against songs are. There part where you explained mother nature repeating "I don't hate you" as she is dying, made me cry. Before actively spreading awareness about climate, nature and animals, I always thought this repeating in the end meant emphasizing the terrible thing of a girl telling a guy she doesn't hate him, as if pitying him, instead of saying she loves him. It could be both.
