In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Pluto
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
Look who I'm fuckin' again
I had her on ice, but then
I watched the ice get thin
Now, does she sink or swim?
She had an attitude in the summer
But she bein' nice again (she bein' nice)
Double my price again (double my price)
Top of the charts, back in they hearts
Nigga, he strikes again, whoa
Some niggas bitter with life and they hate me
They wanna put knife in my ribs, whoa
Way this shit set up I live like Ronaldo
But I never been to Madrid, whoa
She said that she workin', I told her come over
And we can get right at the crib, whoa
She finish at six but than say she got court in the mornin'
To fight for her kid
I told her I'd pray for the kid
What a time this is
To be alive for this shit
President doin' us in
My window got blue in the tint, ooh
Did this shit once and I'd do it again
Look who I'm fuckin' again
I had her on ice, but then
I watched the ice get thin
Now, does she sink or swim?
Blue faces, I got blue diamonds, blue tint, yeah
Blue faces, I got blue diamonds, blue tint, yeah
Jeez
Ayy, ayy
Look who I'm stuck with again
I had her on ice, but then
I watched the ice get so thin now
Does she sink or does she swim now
Ayy
'Cause she bein' nice again (she bein' nice)
Double my price again (double my price)
Top of the charts, back in they hearts
Nigga, he strikes again, whoa
Some niggas bitter with life and they hate me
They wanna put knife in my ribs, whoa
Nobody better to show up and run it
And I could put that on the twins, whoa
We not together, but I get the info on you
'Cause I'm nice to your friends
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, they shouldn't have told me but they did
What a time this is
To be alive for this shit
President doin' us in
My window got blue in the tint
Ayy, did this shit once and I'd do it again
Look who I'm fuckin' again
I had her on ice, but then
I watched the ice get thin
Now, does she sink or swim?
Blue faces, I got blue diamonds, blue tint, yeah (let's go)
Blue faces, I got blue diamonds, blue tint, yeah (let's go)

@[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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
