@[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.
You’re sending shivers on down my spine
And there’s nothing that we can say
To calm them down tonight
Caught in a whirlpool
Spinning round in circles
You’ve gotta be quick throw on a life jacket
I’m gonna be sick before I ever..
Yo, scrap me up from off the road
My feet are numb from the wicked cold
Ain’t never gonna stay out of the sun
Squinting through eyes like sandpaper runs
Up and down all over them
Scratched to the surface to within
An inch of my skull, a colossal hole
Water runs through without control
I can see your pain
But, I can see your pain
I’ve never been to jail nor think I will
Cause I’ve never really had a strong urge to kill
Sure I’d pop a pill but I haven’t yet
The experience awaits for the sun set
You see I’m colour blind I failed every test
You can cross the three time and I did ten
Sunglasses enable me to see the reds in the world
As bright as can be..
Ohhhh yessss ladies and gentlemen
and welcome to THKs Karaoke night
We have all the songs you love to hate
Through to the ones you can relate too
I hope your not confused as we’re about to cruise...
Venetian animals look down on me
as the light refracts so gloriously
On to my wall like an artist said
Wet paint never looked so intense
Penguins leads the charge up front
While the octopus gather and hunt
Spotted green frogs climb into a tree
Looking for a safe place to flea
A pond opens up and swallows them whole
Into my dirty cornflakes bowl
Bottle cap scorpion throws out his tail
As the motorbike lunges in to save ‘em
Whiskey bottles laugh on and on
Peering over the edge from behind
The sprawl of batteries and safety pins
a bobble head gentle shakes his head and sings..
I can see your pain
But, I can see your pain
And there’s nothing that we can say
To calm them down tonight
Caught in a whirlpool
Spinning round in circles
You’ve gotta be quick throw on a life jacket
I’m gonna be sick before I ever..
Yo, scrap me up from off the road
My feet are numb from the wicked cold
Ain’t never gonna stay out of the sun
Squinting through eyes like sandpaper runs
Up and down all over them
Scratched to the surface to within
An inch of my skull, a colossal hole
Water runs through without control
I can see your pain
But, I can see your pain
I’ve never been to jail nor think I will
Cause I’ve never really had a strong urge to kill
Sure I’d pop a pill but I haven’t yet
The experience awaits for the sun set
You see I’m colour blind I failed every test
You can cross the three time and I did ten
Sunglasses enable me to see the reds in the world
As bright as can be..

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
