@[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.
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
You know that I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Yeah
Hold 'em up
Here we go
All the hicks and chicks feel the flow
Big black train coming round the bend
Go on kin folk tell your mom and them
Chugg a lugga, chugg a lugga, chugg a lugga
Who? The big black neck commin' through to you boy you done fell and bumped you head, uh huh
That's what they said
People say it's impossible, not probable, too radical
But I already been on the CMA's
Hell Tim McGraw said he liked the change
That he likes the way my hick-hop sounds and the way the crowd screams when I stomp the ground
Now, big and black, clickty-clack and I make the train jump the track like that
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
You know that I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Yeah
From my deep decent deep into your ear
My voice is your choice that you wanted to hear
Southern boy makin' noise where the buffalo roam
Less denim an' bone that you might have known
See me ridin' into town like a desperado
With a big belt buckle
The cowboy bravado
All over the World Wide Web you'll see download CBT on that MP3
Speak clearly what I'm sayin' so you comprehend in the name of hick-hop radio tune in
Rollin' like thunder on to the scene
It's kinda hard to describe if you know what I mean
I never claimed to be the hardest of the brother's hard rock
But I'm booming out the box
Skills got you jumping out your socks
From Texas here I come movin' your body with the bass kick drum
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
You know that I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Yeah
I play chicken with the train play chicken with the train, train

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
