@[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'll stick you a little
Enough to take your oxygen away
Then I'll set you on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
And I'm with you alone
I'm so into this whore
Afraid I might lose her
So forget about me
'Cause I'll stick you
Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
Transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do
Pushed back to square
Now that you need her
But you don't, so there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
So transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
You are
You are
All you are
All you are
All you are
All you are
Is meat
Enough to take your oxygen away
Then I'll set you on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
And I'm with you alone
I'm so into this whore
Afraid I might lose her
So forget about me
'Cause I'll stick you
Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
Transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do
Pushed back to square
Now that you need her
But you don't, so there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
So transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all
You are
You are
All you are
All you are
All you are
All you are
Is meat

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran

“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.
Aaah another song i love from White Pony.
I find i can only listen to Deftones when im in a weird mood - feeling a bit manipulative, angry - f*cked up to be honest.
Similar to Knife Prty, as it has the screeches/screams in the background - which i just find adds so much texture to this (and can back up other users points about the song referencing interest in girls). Along with the screeches, chino sings/speaks this song so well - it really makes you think - and those grungy, dirty, distorted guitars. And that thumping bass line representing a heartbeat during the outro of the song. Makes this such an epic song, and such an epic way to end an epic album.
Okay, so let me set this up for you.
We have a guy, in school. He's not really a popular kid, and gets pushed about alot. He's fed up with this. He hates the way he is treated, and wants to return the feelings to the other kids who push him about. He also likes this chick, but sadly she doesnt take him seriously, and pushes him around too.
"I'll stick you a little, Enough, To take your oxygen away" So here we have the line that tells me that this kid is wanting to maybe seriously harm or kill the people that push him around and make his life a hell - and that he would do this by asphyxiation.
"Set you on fire, 'cause I'm on fire" He feels its only fair that because he gets beaten up, so should they.
"And I'm with you, Alone, I'm so into this whore" Now we learn there is a love interest, and when they are alone he tries to fight how he feels. But he refers to her as a whore, almost talking down about her. Im guessing this is because she pushes him around too - but nonetheless he still really likes her...
"Be afraid, I might lose her so forget about me, Because I'll stick you" ...BUT he doesnt want her. Because he is scared, that if he looses her - he will be to angry, and feel she did it because he is not 'worthy' of her. And so he will kill her like everyone else. And so he feels its best for her to 'forget' him.
"Pushed back to square, Now that you've kneed her, In the throat, Well there you go" Hes back to square one, but feels like he was pushed back to square one. He feels he has killed any chance (as kneeing someone hard enough in the throat could kill them) of getting with this girl. And the last bit of that (Well there you go) is almost like patrionising him, and saying - well thats what you get for being apprehensive and weak. In other words he's second guessing himself, what would have happened if he got the girl?
"Cause back in school, We are the leaders, Of all so transpose, Or stop your life is what you do" This statement, is to say that in school is where you can make these big decisions that can ultimately change your life. "We are the leaders", the leaders of our own fate. And that during school you can reverse things, or stop things from happening.
"All you are to me is meat, Now pass the flask" Here he has finally realised he doesnt care about this chick anymore - shes just another girl. And maybe gets drunk to help forget.
