@[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.
When I first laid my eyes upon you
I knew right then and there you were the one
Eyes so deep, you send me melting
And then you smiled as if to say, “Oh, yeah”
But then you seemed to change your mind
You looked away like you were, oh, so shy
Is the game you're playing hard to get
Won't you tell me, oh, ho
Want me, want me like I want you
To touch you and to hold you tight
Don't you want me like I want you
To kiss and love all through the night
I'd like to know more than just your name
Did you come here alone or with someone
If only you would open up
And let me know just where you're comin' from
Are you lookin' for a new love
Or does commitment seem to bring you down
Is that a look of yes or is it no
Please don't tease me, ho...oh...
Want me, don't you want me
To touch you and to hold you tight
Don't you want me like I want you
To kiss and love all through the night
Oh, whoa, yeah
Don't you want
Oh, whoa, yeah
Don't you want
Want me, don't you want me
To touch you and to hold you tight
Don't you want me like I want you
To kiss and love all through the night
Are you lookin' for a new love
Or does commitment seem to bring you down
Is that a look of yes or is it no
Please don't tease me, oh...oh...
Want me, don't you want me
To touch you and to hold you tight
Don't you want me like I want you
To kiss and love all through the night
Want me, don't you want me
To touch you and to hold you tight
Don't you want me like I want you
To kiss and love all through the night
Want me (Oh, oh), don't you want me (Yeah)
(Don't you want me)
Want me (Oh, oh), don't you want me (Yeah, yeah)
(Don't you want me)

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."

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.
