Maybe it's just a phase
The days and the nights and the nights and the days
Of tossing and turning and burning and churning
Inside my brain

Or, maybe I'm finally insane
But I don't know who to believe anymore
It's like I'm caught in some revolving door
Over and over and over and over

Teach me how to pray.
Tell me what to say
Help me help me help me find my way

I never could play the game
And all their faces look the same
And I won't give up
Won't give in
You know I never want to be like them I'm
Ticking away like time
Out of sync and out of my mind
Well I used to know a truth from a lie
Just by
Looking in your eyes
Lies

Carry me away
Farther and farther and farther everyday

Help me help me help me find my way

Hanging by a thread
And waves of confusion break down on my head
When I think of all the things you said well the words
Fall
Dead

Higher every day
A price I swear I'll never pay no way

Help me help me help me find my way

    It seems like a person is recovering from addiction and is looking for anything spiritual to grasp hold of because nothing makes sense in life anymore. The person is spiritually bankrupt and needs help to find a way out of addiction, out of the hole that substances led her to. It seems like she is asking another who has beaten their demons already and is asking for “help.”

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 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."
