@[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.
And I walked a thin line
Just get away from me, get away from me
And I can not define
The meaning of what I did this time
I'm nothing but an endless joke
And everything goes up in smoke
I'm dancing with the devil
I'm broken in pieces
A sad excuse for a man
Hope that you can understand
The guilt I've felt inside
Eats me alive
It eats me alive!
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
You can be the judge
Juror, executioner
I deserve a sentence
To fuel all your vengeance
And it's full remorse for what I have done
If I'm locked away
Don't forget there's two sides to the story
If I'm condemned to a cell
To sit with my sins in hell
Then you better take notice
To the only notion
If I'm in here, she should be as well
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
Can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
These streets are still haunted
You see, can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
Myself got the best of me
I could point a finger, but you'd cut it off
I could tell you outright it'd still be my fault
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
When I say I'm sorry
I know that I'm wrong
I wanna say more
But I'll keep my mouth shut
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
Just get away from me, get away from me
And I can not define
The meaning of what I did this time
I'm nothing but an endless joke
And everything goes up in smoke
I'm dancing with the devil
I'm broken in pieces
A sad excuse for a man
Hope that you can understand
The guilt I've felt inside
Eats me alive
It eats me alive!
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make

And it's full remorse for what I have done

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
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
