@[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.
Pick it up, pick it all up
And start again
You've got a second chance
You could go home
Escape it all
It's just irrelevant
It's just medicine
It's just medicine
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
You've got a warm heart
You've got a beautiful brain
But it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
Medicine
You could still be
What you want to be
What you said you were
When you met me
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
When you met me
When I met you
You

It's just medicine
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
You've got a warm heart
You've got a beautiful brain
But it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
Medicine
You could still be
What you want to be
What you said you were
When you met me
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
When you met me
When I met you
You

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page

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 don't want to sound to messed up saying this but idk this song could be about suicide.
"Pick it up, pick it all up. And start again. You've got a second chance, You could go home. Escape it all. It's just irrelevant."
This is right before he is about to kill himself, he's thinking he does have another option, he can go home, he has a second chance, he can start again.
"It's just medicine. It's just medicine."
That's him just thinking to himself. He has decided he is going to kill himself, he is going to take all the panadol in front of him and overdose. And hey, after all, it is just medicine.
"You could still be, What you want to, What you said you were When I met you."
He's taken all of the panadol now. It would take a day or so for all the paracetamol to be taken up by his body, and for the effects to be irreversible before he dies. However he still has the chance to save himself. He could go to hospital and get his stomach pumped or get all the panadol removed before it breaks down. The guy still has a chance to be who he always wanted to be, to be who he was when he met her.
"You've got a warm heart, You've got a beautiful brain, But it's disintegrating From all the medicine. From all the medicine. From all the medicine. Medicine."
It's sad because this guy was really sweet and caring and had a beautiful personality. He had so much potential and hope in his life ahead of him. But that's all slowly fading as the panadol starts working inside his body and it becomes too late to turn back.
@Tybrah I agree with you, but I perceive the word "medicine" as an analogyn of like therapy and good affirmations from people. Like "It's just medicine" would mean that what the people are telling you is lies to try and make you feel better.
@Tybrah I am with you. You got this thing said so right. I was just listening this song at lake and thinking about suicide, how it won't gonna effect anything in the world, especially when I'm not too much sad when I'm dying. You are right.
