@[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.
She takes these pills,
And she moves along
She takes these pills,
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
To live in your life and your own routine
A product from ecology it seems
She looks at him like he's a machine
And lives with him 'cause he's a bill machine
That brings it closer where she swears it needs
So she takes the pills
And she moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
He pays the bills
And he moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
When you're living your life in your own medicated dream
How bad could sobriety really be?
I know you couldn't even recognize me
I wonder if she knows that her own family
Is waiting and praying in the hopes that she would leave
She nods her head as she moves along
She takes the pills and its better
She lies in bed 'till noons along
She takes these pills and its better
She takes these pills as she moves along
She takes these pills and its better
He nods his head and they move along
She takes these pills 'cause its better
Well it doesn't really matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
Now he takes these pills and he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
He bobs his head as he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
Now we take these pills and we move along
We take these pills and its better
We shake our hands as we move along
We take these pills cause its better
You know it really doesn't matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
'Cause it's better
And she moves along
She takes these pills,
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
To live in your life and your own routine
A product from ecology it seems
She looks at him like he's a machine
And lives with him 'cause he's a bill machine
That brings it closer where she swears it needs
So she takes the pills
And she moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
He pays the bills
And he moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
When you're living your life in your own medicated dream
How bad could sobriety really be?
I know you couldn't even recognize me
I wonder if she knows that her own family
Is waiting and praying in the hopes that she would leave
She nods her head as she moves along
She takes the pills and its better
She lies in bed 'till noons along
She takes these pills and its better
She takes these pills as she moves along
She takes these pills and its better
He nods his head and they move along
She takes these pills 'cause its better
Well it doesn't really matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
Now he takes these pills and he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
He bobs his head as he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
Now we take these pills and we move along
We take these pills and its better
We shake our hands as we move along
We take these pills cause its better
You know it really doesn't matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
'Cause it's better

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i agree with the lyrics being a bit off Um as far as this song, i can relate, so it probably has a diferent meaning to me then the rest of you. to me it means a girl who lived a hard life, just barely scraping by, and in order to make sure she always had the money she needed, she married someone she didnt love. She became miserable, and look pills, which created her own fake "reality". her family grew disgusted, but did nothing about it. i think this song is written from the point of veiw of a man the women falls in love with. the last verse, "we take thes pills" shows that he too needed a fake reality, and so, with drugs, they created their own "perfect" world. i could be wrong, but to my understandind, it makes a lot of sense.
