He certainly did earn that reputation.
Don't get me started on what it means to be alive
You're lying to yourself, but then still you act surprised
'Cause you're scared, can't come to terms with what you are
The wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead you so far
You'll wait and they'll go
'Cause in the end, we all end up alone
So just wait, you'll know
Forget everything just for tonight, we'll
Sing like everyone when they're alone
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
I rely on myself, just making sure that was clear
I'm not in need of your crutches, I faced all my fears
And I won what I knew I could have
Life is not a punch card, make the best of what you have
And don't wait, just go
And when you find yourself, please let me know
(It's not too late) just let go
Forget everything just for tonight, we'll
Sing like everyone when they're alone
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together
We're a force that could shake the whole world
For once, I'm doin' something right when we say whoa, whoa
In the end, it's not about what you have
In the end, it's all about where you wanna go
And the roads you take to help you get there
I hope you think that's fair
'Cause you only got one life to lead
So don't take for granted those little things
Those little things are all that we have
Forget everything just for tonight, we'll
Sing like everyone when they're alone
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together
We're a force that could shake the whole world
For once, I'm doin' something right when we say whoa, whoa
We'll sing (whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa) can't forget everything
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
You're lying to yourself, but then still you act surprised
'Cause you're scared, can't come to terms with what you are
The wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead you so far
You'll wait and they'll go
'Cause in the end, we all end up alone
So just wait, you'll know
Forget everything just for tonight, we'll
Sing like everyone when they're alone
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
I rely on myself, just making sure that was clear
I'm not in need of your crutches, I faced all my fears
And I won what I knew I could have
Life is not a punch card, make the best of what you have
And don't wait, just go
And when you find yourself, please let me know
(It's not too late) just let go
Forget everything just for tonight, we'll
Sing like everyone when they're alone
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together
We're a force that could shake the whole world
For once, I'm doin' something right when we say whoa, whoa
In the end, it's not about what you have
In the end, it's all about where you wanna go
And the roads you take to help you get there
I hope you think that's fair
'Cause you only got one life to lead
So don't take for granted those little things
Those little things are all that we have

'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together
We're a force that could shake the whole world
For once, I'm doin' something right when we say whoa, whoa
We'll sing (whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa) can't forget everything
'Cause I've been waiting for the night to say whoa, whoa

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
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."
"Don't get me started on what it means to be alive you're lying to yourself if you sound and act surprised could you stand become the source of what you are the wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead so far so find your way and you'll go cause in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know"
I think that's about people who act content with their lives and their friends, but the bottom line is that if they put any thought into it, they really aren't happy, they just stay so busy (getting fucked up everynight could be a good example) that they don't realize how shitty their lives are. Also that their friends wouldn't really be there in the end if it came down to it "in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know".
"I rely on myself just making sure that was clear I'm not in need of your crutches I face all my face fears and I want what I knew I could have life is not a monster make the best of what you have"
I think that's about people who are afraid of living their own lives and supporting themselves, thinking that it's easier to rely on other people than to just do things themselves. Or crutches might refer to people who can't cope with reality, so they use drugs and alcohol to cope. "Life is not a monster, make the best of what you have" could refer to how people think life is shitty so they rely on drugs and alcohol.
So ultimately, I think my interpretation of this song would be that it's about relying on things other than yourself, whether you're relying on other people, drugs, alcohol or any other thing that helps you cheat life.
