@[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.

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."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
You're kidding me. No comments. Nobody knows what this song is about? Awww come on folks, its easy peasy puddin' pie, kissed the girls and made 'em cry. When the teacher asked him why. He said "Because I felt like it, piss off!" It's obvious who the Flintstone Boy is. Think about it (if you're Canadian, think aboot it). Who was Fred Flintstone's boy? Barney Rubble! The Flintstone boy is Barney Rubble. What happened is this: Elton wanted to write a song called, "Don't Worry About Barney Rubble, He's Good", but Mr. Rubble declined to allow his name to be published without adequate compensation. Elton John, being the generous soul he is, offered to pay Rubble 10% of his share of the record sales, which would have been much more than expected. Rubble took it to his attorney. The lawyer, extremely upset that Elton wanted to pay Rubble with useless rectanglular pieces of paper instead of stone currency, like igneous pebbles, advised Rubble to decline. Dismayed, Elton approached Fred Flintstone and made an offer of an enormous rack of ribs. Flintstone, hungry af, accepted. Elton payed the fee, but Mr. Flintstone never got to eat it because the rack of ribs tipped over his car, it rolled over and crushed Flintstone, his family, and their beloved dogosaur, Dino, to death. Sad story indeed! Soon after Elton John released his biggest hit up to that time, Funeral For a Flintstone. The song hit #1 on Rolling Boulder magazine's hot 100 slate until the end of the cretateous period.
