Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
I won’t take much of your time
I just want you to see
What I have made inside these lines
It’s as good as I can be
It’s as good as I can be
This is all that I can be
This is all that I can be
All that I can be
Head tilted down, knees on the ground
And I will ask, ‘‘Please, save me!’’
I deserve for you to turn away
I was ashamed to speak your name
I can’t believe that all you see
Is that you have covered me gracefully
You’re all I want to be
You’re all I want to be
You’re all I’ll ever need
You’re all I’ll ever need
Jesus, Jesus, please, save me!
I won’t take much of your time
I just want you to save me
I just want you to see
What I have made inside these lines
It’s as good as I can be
It’s as good as I can be
This is all that I can be
This is all that I can be
All that I can be
Head tilted down, knees on the ground
And I will ask, ‘‘Please, save me!’’
I deserve for you to turn away
I was ashamed to speak your name
I can’t believe that all you see
Is that you have covered me gracefully
You’re all I want to be
You’re all I want to be
You’re all I’ll ever need
You’re all I’ll ever need
Jesus, Jesus, please, save me!
I won’t take much of your time
I just want you to save me

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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 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 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."
Definitely a powerful song. This is probably the one most obviously related to God. "Head tilted down, knees on the ground, and I will ask, "Please, save me!" Is someone praying, asking to be saved by God. "I deserve for you to turn away, I was ashamed to speak your name" is, I believe, praying for forgiveness in being apart from God and realizing their fault and feeling horrible about it. "I can't believe that all you see Is that you have covered me gracefully" is disbelief that God clans Jesus can be so forgiving and caring, even for people who feel that they don't deserve it. The lyrics are pretty straightforward, but the way Tyler delivers them is absolutely heart wrenching. (Adding my comment here too because I didn't realize Tyler had his own)
This song will always be one of my most favorites. From anyone. The first time I listened to it, I was so deeply affected that I decided to give over the title "most favorite band of all time" Congrats. I cried like a baby, not only cause its a great song, but for him to mention the name Jesus, was beautiful. Mater of fact I think its the only song in which he uses the name. Every one throws around the name God, but when you say "Jesus", things get serious, and I'm not talking about when people see something gruesome, or stub a toe. Their is power in the name of Jesus, and this I believe is Tyler's most powerful song. Anywayz... I have been in those shoes. I've begged the same question. I have felt ashamed for turning away, but by the grace of God, he is still around when we come to our senses. Grace was a hard one for me to wrap my head around, but its also something I believe that I'm most thankful for.
