@[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.
Rewind to the scene
Where we lost it to the birds and the bees
We got caught up in the corner
Of a mousetrap one summer’s eve
Our highs win a 5 star trophy
For love; we’re all the right things
Lace lies underneath the yellow clock
And the fox outside sings a lullaby
Spotlight steaming up the silver room
And its safe to assume we won’t stop
Up! My elevator goes
Up! I think you found your way
Green lights cover the air
When you tell me that you love me
I see fireflies and kaleidoscopes,
The time’s running out before the shake shake
Please, please don’t let me be of waste;
Can I taste the peanuts in your pocket?
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Uh Oh, I’d really like to show
Just how high this could go
I’ll let you look a little, look a little
Closer now, just let me tell you how
i like the shock that i get when you go...
Switch the lights my stadium’s electric
Top flying off with this inauguration
Dancing down to the Paradise City
Hills are alive, the river’s running over
Talk to me. I like to hear the pictures that you take when your minds off
We go...
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
oooooooo
Van Gogh’s dancing on the wall
And sunflowers fall yellow all around
You’re painting all of my numbers
And I start to feel another shake shake
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think we found our way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Where we lost it to the birds and the bees
We got caught up in the corner
Of a mousetrap one summer’s eve
Our highs win a 5 star trophy
For love; we’re all the right things
Lace lies underneath the yellow clock
And the fox outside sings a lullaby
Spotlight steaming up the silver room
And its safe to assume we won’t stop
Up! My elevator goes
Up! I think you found your way
Green lights cover the air
When you tell me that you love me
I see fireflies and kaleidoscopes,
The time’s running out before the shake shake
Please, please don’t let me be of waste;
Can I taste the peanuts in your pocket?
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Uh Oh, I’d really like to show
Just how high this could go
I’ll let you look a little, look a little
Closer now, just let me tell you how
i like the shock that i get when you go...
Switch the lights my stadium’s electric
Top flying off with this inauguration
Dancing down to the Paradise City
Hills are alive, the river’s running over
Talk to me. I like to hear the pictures that you take when your minds off
We go...
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
oooooooo
Van Gogh’s dancing on the wall
And sunflowers fall yellow all around
You’re painting all of my numbers
And I start to feel another shake shake
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think we found our way
Up! My elevator goes up
Up! I think you found your way

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
