@[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.
Whatever this becomes,
Whatever words i say we are the fortunate ones,
And when the days are done I wont forget.
All i see in you and me,
is a light in the dark of humanity..
And when the days are done, i wont forget..
Timid steps, come walk with me.
And with your useless words, come talk to me.
There are broken hearts now on your stereo,
but the broken beats are just too slow..
You'll cry, it doesnt change a thing.
Kill the lights and let the rain fall..
Recall the memories of yesterdays and better ways
And know the innocence is gone, move on.
From this day on we'll never be the same.
The saddest songs make sense to me,
so with your sunken eyes come look for me.
2 hour drives are 2 hours alone but 2 hour drives are better than home
You'll die, it doesnt change a thing
Faster Words and faster kids
Faster Songs and faster ends
the one thing thats stayed the same...
Ive lived through days
And Ive lived through nights
Ive had my loves
and ive had my fights..
Youve got to know, you have my heart....
Whatever words i say we are the fortunate ones,
And when the days are done I wont forget.
All i see in you and me,
is a light in the dark of humanity..
And when the days are done, i wont forget..
Timid steps, come walk with me.
And with your useless words, come talk to me.
There are broken hearts now on your stereo,
but the broken beats are just too slow..
You'll cry, it doesnt change a thing.
Kill the lights and let the rain fall..
Recall the memories of yesterdays and better ways
And know the innocence is gone, move on.
From this day on we'll never be the same.
The saddest songs make sense to me,
so with your sunken eyes come look for me.
2 hour drives are 2 hours alone but 2 hour drives are better than home
You'll die, it doesnt change a thing
Faster Words and faster kids
Faster Songs and faster ends
the one thing thats stayed the same...
Ive lived through days
And Ive lived through nights
Ive had my loves
and ive had my fights..
Youve got to know, you have my heart....

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."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Nightmare FUCKING rocks! and this song proves just how fucking much they rock....
Tom Mayer is ug and has 2 1/2 Steve duckworth has the worst beeb, and has a crooked dick Jake buehler has WSB and eats his boogers official? YES SIR
this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful love songs i have encountered.
This is my theme song. It is absolutely beautifully written. This song perfectly conveys my experiences of this past year. This song is basically about someone who broke someone's heart. He'll never forget the person. He remembers them so fondly. He can't stand to think that they will never be together again, but he knows he has to accept it. He sees them as being so perfect for eachother, but he has lost his chance. He just wants the person to know, that even through all the shit, he still loves them, he still wants them in his life. Very sad. I can strongly relate to this song. There are a few parts that I like in particularly. "Two hour drives are two hours alone but two hour drives are better than home." ---This line is so true. When you feel like shit, the last place you want to be is home wallowing in it. I can remember so many times that I've just wanted to get out and drive. It is so theraputic. "You'll cry, it doesn't change a thing, Kill the lights and let the rain fall." This part basically is just saying that it's okay to cry. Sometimes you can't help it. Crying really doesn't change anything, it's just something that you have to do...maybe if you cry enough you'll drown in your own tears. I don't know...I like that lyric. "Recall the meomories of yesterdays and better ways and know the innocence is gone, move on." Wow. That is so true. That is something that I'm definitely going through this year. At a certain point, you do lose your innocence. I wanted so badly to regain it, but eventually I realized that it's gone...and I do have to move on. You can remember the past all you want, but don't dwell in it. And my las favorite lyric is: "...the one thing that's stayed the same...I've lived through days and I've lived through nights. I've had my loves, and I've had my fights. You've got to know, you have my heart." Another 'wow.' That is exactly what I would say to a certain person if I could. I would tell them how much I still care and let them know that they have my heart, and that they always did...yeah, so anyways, that's why this song is my theme song.
more hearts
Hmmm... I always had the feeling that this song was about Hardcore and the way it has changed since the 80's... even though it does have a lot of "Two hour drives... blah blah blah" shit in it that really doesn't prove what I thought. But I don't know. Not my favorite AN song.
Can you tell by my username that I REALLY love this song? hehehe!
It's about Wes's friends. Fact. Read an interview occasionally kids.
This song basically relates to my entire life. absolutely beautiful.
this song rocks. i agree with PorcelainHope. that is a great analysis of this song.
