@[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, I have got a riddle for you
a god had split all time in two
And took one part to tell and show
and tell and show me why I know, hit me
Oh, my life was split in two
and why, oh why, an X for you
and thrust into the middle
letters that the Greeks destroyed
and buried us all up to our necks in little boys
It's a man's world
There's nothing left for you to do
when we've got our eyes on you
It's a man's world
There's nothing left for you to do
when we've got our hands on you
Oh, my mind was split in two
a Y, oh why an X for you?
And thrust into the middle
letters that the Greeks deployed
to bury us all up to our necks in little boys
Get me
It's a man's world
There's not much left for us to do
when they've got their eyes on you
It's a man's world
And there's something left for us to do
while they've got their hands on you
The little girls at the back of the classroom
are staring into my eyes
The little boys in the front of the classroom
are staring into my eyes
And all the while all we could do was just frown
while you turned and looked the other way
And all the girls you turned your backs on us
I said yeah
a god had split all time in two
And took one part to tell and show
and tell and show me why I know, hit me
Oh, my life was split in two
and why, oh why, an X for you
and thrust into the middle
letters that the Greeks destroyed
and buried us all up to our necks in little boys
It's a man's world
There's nothing left for you to do
when we've got our eyes on you
It's a man's world
There's nothing left for you to do
when we've got our hands on you
Oh, my mind was split in two
a Y, oh why an X for you?
And thrust into the middle
letters that the Greeks deployed
to bury us all up to our necks in little boys
Get me
It's a man's world
There's not much left for us to do
when they've got their eyes on you
It's a man's world
And there's something left for us to do
while they've got their hands on you
The little girls at the back of the classroom
are staring into my eyes
The little boys in the front of the classroom
are staring into my eyes
And all the while all we could do was just frown
while you turned and looked the other way
And all the girls you turned your backs on us
I said yeah

Mountain Song

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."
