@[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.
Cast your eyes on a vision , here comes the raw rap precision
Paradise wild that's how we livin'
Long beach style on the regular
Things be blowin' up all day like my cellular
When I flex it's time to party
So y'all can go ahead hit the surf break out the rum bacardi
Mad skills on the rise again
With the summer time rhyme solos out there's miles again
I'm hittin' on the down low
With something for the beach or ya jeep or ya condo
The summertime's here girls in bikinis with their sun tan glow and I don't care
As far as the eye can see
There's a hundred beach bunnies on the beach and they're jockin me
Now that's the lick and it's a pity
That you and yours ain't loungin in the city
Do ya wanna go down , Do ya wanna go down with me
If ya ready come and take me now
Come and rock me in the city
The sea feels cool and when I'm dried off you know it's over to the barbecue
The party starts at noon but it's a beach thing and I'm holding more ass than a G-string
Just blazing up I'm getting hot from the rays and the force of my paper cut
Just coolin with my peeps beach bunnies showing out from the waist to the back seat
The summer fest year after year I'm in the sun and my body's feelin blessed
Maxin and relaxin a little one on one coz all the ladies love my vaccine
Paradise sim for your your ears so you can bring the boys and we can bring a gang of beers
Summers the lick and it's a pity
If you and yours ain't loungin' in the city
We took a crazy loop and broke it down before with our madness now we come to up the score
N-trance in the sun shine the force and we ruff rhyme
The paradise sim and the whole nine
The lyrical something it's got mad heads nodding and sound systems all bumping
Summers the lick and it's a pity coz we be livin' large in paradise city
Paradise wild that's how we livin'
Long beach style on the regular
Things be blowin' up all day like my cellular
When I flex it's time to party
So y'all can go ahead hit the surf break out the rum bacardi
Mad skills on the rise again
With the summer time rhyme solos out there's miles again
I'm hittin' on the down low
With something for the beach or ya jeep or ya condo
The summertime's here girls in bikinis with their sun tan glow and I don't care
As far as the eye can see
There's a hundred beach bunnies on the beach and they're jockin me
Now that's the lick and it's a pity
That you and yours ain't loungin in the city
Do ya wanna go down , Do ya wanna go down with me
If ya ready come and take me now
Come and rock me in the city
The sea feels cool and when I'm dried off you know it's over to the barbecue
The party starts at noon but it's a beach thing and I'm holding more ass than a G-string

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."
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
