@[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.
What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help, Hurt everyone else,
now I feel the weight of the world,
is on my shoulders
What can you do,
when your good isn't good enough,
And all that you touch,
tumbles down
Cause my best intentions,
keep making a mess of things
I just want to fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me,
To get it right, to get it right?
Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this,
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser,
I'll get through this
What can you do, when your good
Isn't good enough,
When all that you touch tumbles down
'Cause my best intentions,
Keep making a mess of things,
I just want to fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
So I throw up my fists,
Throw a punch in the air,
And accept the truth, that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I'll send down a wish,
Yeah I'll send up a prayer,
And finally someone will see, How much I care
What can you do, when your good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch, tumbles down,
'Cause my best intentions, keep making a mess of things,
I just want to fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, How many times will it take?
To get it right,
To get it right.
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help, Hurt everyone else,
now I feel the weight of the world,
is on my shoulders
What can you do,
when your good isn't good enough,
And all that you touch,

Cause my best intentions,
keep making a mess of things

Oh, How many times will it take?
To get it right,
To get it right.

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 like this song very much. Leah Michele's voice is definitely amazing. I think we all have times when we feel that no matter what you do, nothing goes right, you try to do things in the best way but you end up hurting the ones you love I think is also a song about redemption, about the sincere intention to get things right when you know you made a mistake
