@[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.
Now when I got home
I heard my daddy say
You wanna get a little peace, honey
And my skin turned cold.
I heard my momma
The old lady say she gettin too old
You want a little peace?
Do you want a little peace?
Do you want a little soul?
Do you want a little soul?
Do you want a little soul?

Whoo.
Aww...
Rock and roll
Rock and roll is dead.
We had some good times,
We had some fun.
We had some good times,
We had some fun.
It's over.
It's over.
It's over, oh.
Have mercy.
Have mercy.
Have mercy on your poor son.
Rock and roll.
We had some good times.
We used to rock around out
It's all over.
I feel so sad.
The girls used to take their clothes off
And expose themselves.
And the music played on.
And we had some good times.
But they're gone.
They're gone.
They're gone.
They're gone.
They're gone.
Now listen I'm not talking
About no revolution.
I swear to you I'm not talking
About no constitution.
I'm not talking
About no upside downs
Or inside out.
The only thing I'm gonna tell you about
We, we had some good times
We had some good times
We had a few good times
But those good times
All those good little times
You know where they are?
You know where they ended up?
Well they're gone.
They're absolutely
Positively under the ground
And they're -
Yeah I wanna talk
About a little good times.
Nothing special,
Just wanna sing along
Just as long as I got breath.
The death of rock
Is the death of me
And rock is
Dead!
Well, we're dead!
All right!
Yeah...
We used to talk about rock and roll.
We used to talk about the twist and the stroll.
We used to talk about everything but
Rock is dead, baby.
Rock is dead.
Rock is dead.
All right.

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."
