@[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.
Close the doors
If you want to seen her breathing again
Blur the days
Sleeping is just not an option
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up until I find out
Until I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind
You're not there
I poke needles in the neck of a doll
She pokes back
Asking why can't I just let her out
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up
Until I find of you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind
Don't let the days escape
What I did brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them
Over my dead body
Over the search they lead
They won't find them anymore
Don't let the days escape
What I did brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them
Over my dead body
Over the search they lead
They won't find them anymore
Now that I collect
From cells that we once shared
With multi-headed union
Of multiple selves
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind
If you want to seen her breathing again
Blur the days
Sleeping is just not an option
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up until I find out
Until I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind
You're not there
I poke needles in the neck of a doll
She pokes back
Asking why can't I just let her out
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up
Until I find of you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold

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."

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.

I always felt that line was form the kidnappers viewpoint, more like he was using chloroform on a rag, which would definitely make you maximally vacant, no clue about the crippled bandages part, but would work well with the "Don't you stay up and wait for me".... Definately one of the highlights from Octahedron.
