@[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.
Oh
On a borrowed mattress you were stopping time
I've been watching you
I've been watching you
For hours and hours before you knew, ooh
You are the satin noose
I've been saving up to buy you.
You are the polished-pearl grips of your fathers .45,
Give me all those gory details,
Do tell, do tell.
So cut me up, Jenny,
Well, cut me up gently
I took full advantage of
Being taken full advantage of
Yeah, I took what I could get
And eventually it took the place of love
The match-makers in heaven,
Oh, they've got a one-track mind
So in our case, I don't think they mind
Alright...
Finger prints, a perfect match
And no you didn't have to leave the way you did
I've been watching you
I've been watching you
Most times you never knew.
You are a Sunday afternoon
With nothing to do
You are Manhattan in June
As the population's wearing next to nothing.
So cut me up, Jenny
Well, cut me up gently.
I took full advantage of
Being taken full advantage of
Yeah, I took what I could get
And eventually it took the place of love
The match-makers in heaven,
Oh, they got a one-track mind
So in our case, I don't think they mind
No in our case, I don't think they mind
So cut me up, Jenny
Well, cut me up gently
Yeah
Talking about our prayer
Is it gonna make me swear?
Yeah, move on, right on
Give me all those gory details,
Do tell, do tell.
So cut me up, Jenny,
Well, cut me up gently.
I took full advantage of
Being taken full advantage of
Yeah, I took what I could get
And eventually it took the place of love
The match-makers in heaven,
Oh, they've got a one-track mind

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."

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.
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'm gonna give loadertoad props that sounds like a perfect fit for the song. I can imagine Adam Lazzara doing that. So yes he is a genius :)
