@[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.
We'll keep calm and carry on
With good intentions
They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs
Until we're perfect
So maybe one day we'll be safe
In control and full of grace
Never making a mistake
So flawless
Cut us deeper to the core
We won't feel a thing
Imperfections weighing more
Repressing difference
I wish this wasn't all so hard
To be yourself and not on guard
To stop the racing in your heart
We'll fight it
Put me under
Now I'm powerless
Take it all
Take it all
Take it
I can't breathe without you
You won't trust me
I won't trust you too
Bring me back and
Bring me back and
Bring it
Medicate me
Hide me deeper in my shed
Until I'm all alone
I'm hearing voices in this sound
Hallucinating
I could have sworn I heard it too
A sudden, beautiful adieu
It's telling me what I should do
I follow
Put me under
Now I'm powerless
Take it all
Take it all
Take it
I can't breathe without you
You won't trust me
I won't trust you too
Bring me back and
Bring me back and
Bring it
Medicate me now
As I'm turning into dis-reflection
You can't slow me
My body and my mind
My emotions and my pride
The simplest things became the hardest part now
The easiest parts have taken all my dreams
I'm afraid
I'll never be okay
I'm afraid
I'm scared I can't be happy
I'm afraid
This silence you feel is not a way to be sincere (I'm afraid)
And it's a way to cope
A way to heal (I'm scared I can't be happy)
But not for me when I can't feel (I'm afraid)
The subtleties that make me want to (I'll never be okay)
Be alive and not a statue (I'm afraid)
Breathe the air
Be here to talk to (I'm scared I can't be happy)
I'm afraid (I'll never be the same)
With good intentions
They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs
Until we're perfect
So maybe one day we'll be safe

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

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Cut us deeper to the core, we won't feel a thing. Imperfections we ignore, embrace indifference I wish this wasn't all so hard, to be yourself and not on guard, To stop the racing in your heart, we'll fight it.
Put me under now I'm powerless I'll take it all, I'll take it all, I'll take it. I can't breathe without you. You won't trust me, I won't trust you too. You bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me, Medicate me
Hide me deeper in my shell until I'm all alone. I'm hearing voices in this cell, hallucinating. I could have sworn I heard it too, a sad and beautiful adieu. It's telling me what I should do, I follow.
Put me under now I'm powerless I'll take it all, I'll take it all, I'll take it. I can't breathe without you. You won't trust me, I won't trust you too. You bring me back, you bring me back, you bring me, Medicate me now.
As I'm turning into this reflection you control me, My body and my mind, my emotions and my pride.
The simplest things became the hardest part now. The easiest parts have taken all my dreams. I'm afraid I'll never be okay. I'm scared I can't be happy.
This silence of fear, is not a way to be sincere, And it's a way to cope, a way to deal, but not for me when I can't feel, The subtleties that make me want to, be alive and not a statue, Breathe the air, be here to talk to, I'm afraid I'll never be the same.
