@[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.
Ticking like a time bomb
Where did you come from
Nowhere that you can run
That is all done
Your eyes are getting salty
It's not my fault
He's gonna need assistance
That's the difference
Boom! Vato loco has stepped in the room
Zoom! Now your homies will be singing this tune
Step back pinche colero 'cause we're gonna explode
We got the place surrounded
Don't be a hero
Bet you didn't think that we thought of that
Came up with that shit way back
Innovation ruling the nation
The dance hall's back
What you know about that, say
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
Ay ay ay ay
You know how we roll
Know I'm broke
And know I've been lonely
Know, you know we've been down
I'm rocking on the mic
Saying things that you like
We won't let you down
We have the system of sound
The excitable crew
We do this with you
The innovator came to stay
So what you gonna do
This is what we want
And I say
This is what we need
G-g-go back in memory
To the time baby
A universe of hard core
So never stop living
Sing
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
I remember back in the day
We would work hard
Getting down our parts
There was no crew
Me and you
Planning out what to do
Work hard
Play hard
Getting down our parts
I remember back in the day
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch me go off
Where did you come from
Nowhere that you can run

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
