@[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.
Questa è la storia
Di uno di noi
Anche lui nato per caso in via Gluck
In una casa, fuori città
Gente tranquilla, che lavorava
Là dove c'era l'erba ora c'è
Una città
E quella casa in mezzo al verde ormai
Dove sarà
Questo ragazzo della via Gluck
Si divertiva a giocare con me
Ma un giorno disse
Vado in città
E lo diceva mentre piangeva
Io gli domando amico
Non sei contento
Vai finalmente a stare in città
Là troverai le cose che non hai avuto qui
Potrai lavarti in casa senza andar
Giù nel cortile
Mio caro amico, disse
Qui sono nato
In questa strada
Ora lascio il mio cuore
Ma come fai a non capire
È una fortuna, per voi che restate
A piedi nudi a giocare nei prati
Mentre là in centro io respiro il cemento
Ma verrà un giorno che ritornerò
Ancora qui
E sentirò l'amico treno
Che fischia così
"Uah, uah"
Passano gli anni
Ma otto son lunghi
Però quel ragazzo ne ha fatta di strada
Ma non si scorda la sua prima casa
Ora coi soldi lui può comperarla
Torna e non trova gli amici che aveva
Solo case su case
Catrame e cemento
Là dove c'era l'erba ora c'è
Una città, ah
E quella casa in mezzo al verde ormai
Dove sarà, ah
Non so, non so
Perché continuano
A costruire, le case
E non lasciano l'erba
Non lasciano l'erba
Non lasciano l'erba
Non lasciano l'erba
Eh no
Se andiamo avanti così, chissà
Come si farà
Chissà
Chissà
Come si farà
Di uno di noi
Anche lui nato per caso in via Gluck
In una casa, fuori città
Gente tranquilla, che lavorava
Là dove c'era l'erba ora c'è

E quella casa in mezzo al verde ormai
Dove sarà
Questo ragazzo della via Gluck
Si divertiva a giocare con me
Ma un giorno disse

E lo diceva mentre piangeva
Io gli domando amico

Vai finalmente a stare in città
Là troverai le cose che non hai avuto qui
Potrai lavarti in casa senza andar

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."
