@[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.
If you're so prone to accidents and misunderstandings
You may accidentally misinterpret honesty for selfishness
We're two human beings, individually
With inherent interest in each other and how we relate
If you're still prone to accidents and misunderstandings
You won't understand me or my motivation for being alone
We're just two human beings, individually
With inherent interest in each other and how we relate
Considering everything, me leaving with regrets only makes sense
I'll see you when we're both not so emotional
You may accidentally misinterpret honesty for selfishness
We're two human beings, individually
With inherent interest in each other and how we relate
If you're still prone to accidents and misunderstandings
You won't understand me or my motivation for being alone
We're just two human beings, individually
With inherent interest in each other and how we relate
Considering everything, me leaving with regrets only makes sense
I'll see you when we're both not so emotional

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"If you're so prone to accidents and misunderstandings you may accidently misinterpret honesty for selfishness." It means that he is questioning if she will understand the fact he is being so honest when he says he just wants to be alone, but rather take it as if he's being selfish when he says he wants to go a seperate way. Thus the lines of "misinterpret honesty for selfishness." It's a song that revolves around nothing really more then simply misunderstanding, two people wanting two different things. "Inherent interest" they will both grow to realize and understand each others feelings. "I'll see you when we're both not so emotional" So for now he wants to be alone, because as often when you run with high emotions, you say the wrong things, so basically it's none other then taking time off to understand and realize how each other feels.
Wow...what a band...it's very sad that they had to break. This is the song that got me hooked. To me this song seems to be about two people who take everything that is said in the wrong ways. It seems to leave one saying "timing is everything".
yikes. i have a real connection to this song.
this song helped me understand what had to be going throughmy exes head when we broke up. spot on.
This is such a good song, but some of the words are difficult to decipher. I am glad it is up here.
me too
does anyone know if they have a website.. cause they're freakin good man, and I love thier music and thats about it...
this band is done for, broken up, never again
i loved the song, now i read the lyrics and i appriciate it much more. i can see my own feelings in these words...apparently this was a one-time deal to begin with, just a little experiment to try something a little different for the members. it led to some amazing music, thanks guys.
