@[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.
The playback is here
Take a look, is all around you
You though you'd never shed a tear
So this must astound you, and must confound you
Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Fallen angles in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven
Now hat it's snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain't no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide [x9]
Take a look, is all around you
You though you'd never shed a tear
So this must astound you, and must confound you
Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Fallen angles in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven
Now hat it's snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain't no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride
You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide [x9]

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."

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
Here's a shot - since a lot of Placebo's lyrics contain Christian symbolism, these particular numbers could be viewed in the context of Biblical numbers as follows: one = unity of God and God is the creator of all; seven = completeness/ spiritual perfection or sanctification; ten = divine order through judgment of law (i.e. 10 Commandments).
With this in mind, even though the lyric states that the angels have fallen (from grace?) and are "barred from heaven", the mere pursuit of this ideal of unity God and the continued attempt to live by God's law ("just one more hit will make it right") is enough and "every one turns into seven". As such, everyone can still achieve spiritual completness and perfection by believing in the unity of God even if they are flawed and commit sins. Obviously, poor Julien, who may be using religion as a crutch to get through life and is pacified by false hopes of a better afterlife, is not going to reach heaven and achieve unity and spiritual perfection anyway. Suicide, albeit a slow one, is against spiritual law and therefore divine judment will be harsh and not rule in his favor ("even ten will not placate you"). The lyrics advise that he seek someone or something else other than God or religion for comfort and placation because his actions undermine any chance of comfort and salvation ("...you're being taken for a ride"). Yet, after writing all of this, I am thinking that this could just be another warning against the perils of substance abuse and how drugs/alchol can offer a false sense of control and power over one's destiny and why people must seek out more positive outlets and support systems during tough times.
