@[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.
I cannot cope with all this hope gushing like blood
I cannot get my stomach to understand
We can't bring these taken lives back
Explicit truth is blunt
It is uncensored It is aware
My sadness evolves into hate
I want to know why no one told me
Cowards are hiding using systems that are failing
Tell me what I can do to stop this
Injections of miscarried justice
Make us aware
And who are we anyway to empower ourselves
To however take all others live down
The problem is it's one thing to control, another thing to expel
We falsely convict by misleading the witness,
even proven deaths of many innocent
In the name of what God should we ever be allowed?
Cowards are hiding using systems that are failing
Answers are getting buried as powers keep abusing
(Resolution seems so possible Integrate a compassion into control)
Tell me what I can do to stop this
Injections of miscarried justice
The method's flawed and I feel hopeless
Hurting to raise my state of conscience
It's been concealed for ten years and ten before for centuries
Concealed from forthsights and knowledge bases of our communities
(So what are we gonna do now? So what are we gonna do now?)
So what are we gonna do now to change this?
Make us aware, aware, aware
Make us aware, aware, aware
I want to heal the haunt
I want to know how to stop
I want to make a difference
Don't want to feel useless
Decipher out the true crime
Everyone mis-steps sometimes
Remember there is always
Another side to what we know
No more anguish
No more torture
No more suffer
Call for restructure
No more anguish (No more anguish)
No more torture (No more torture)
No more suffer (No more suffer)
Call for restructure (Call for)
The method's flawed but I am not useless, no
I'm singing to raise higher awareness (Make us aware)
Tell me what I can do to stop this (Make us aware)
Injections of miscarried justice
The method's flawed and I feel hopeless
(Concentrate the efforts made)
Hurting to raise my state of conscience
(Admit the fault and help reshape)
Tell me what I can do to stop this
I cannot get my stomach to understand
We can't bring these taken lives back
Explicit truth is blunt
It is uncensored It is aware
My sadness evolves into hate
I want to know why no one told me
Cowards are hiding using systems that are failing
Tell me what I can do to stop this
Injections of miscarried justice
Make us aware
And who are we anyway to empower ourselves
To however take all others live down

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Because when there's no one there to hear you the music will listen, and when there's no one there to tell the words will write themselves. So you say that this is trapping me, and yeah, maybe I agree. But there are ways in which I'm free that you will never be.
love.
