@[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 was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it
But I never realized that we were through
And I'm down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create will come to you someday
And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I never hoped to do the things in this world I wanted to
Because everything I own, it belongs to you
I've never looked at you in a sexual way in my life before
And I've never woken up like this so desperately before
And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
Touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched (touched)
I was touched (touched)
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it
But I never realized that we were through
And I'm down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create will come to you someday
And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I never hoped to do the things in this world I wanted to
Because everything I own, it belongs to you
I've never looked at you in a sexual way in my life before
And I've never woken up like this so desperately before
And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
Touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched (touched)
I was touched (touched)

Mountain Song

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This is my favorite song by new order, to me its about being truly in love with someone and being completely devoted to them and not realizing how the relationship got to the point where it needed to end.......but that's just me
This song has some conflicting lyrics but I try to decipher the meaning . Maybe the song is about a person who is close friends with another person of opposite sex . One day he wakes up to the fact that he is desperately in love with his friend and communicates the same to her . But is let down (that we were through) as a result he loses his friend and love of his life
Or maybe of the same sex? Perhaps that would make more sense, because that would be a more shocking revelation? eh?
Well, you never really know with Barneys lyrics, but if you know the story, it could easily be about Joy Division's front man Ian Curtis.
@LittleBigMan The word sexual is then a bit odd. I guess a platonic love can come so deep that lines blur in retrospect. A bit far fetched. Butthe rest sure fits

A truly breathtakingly brilliant song - one which has provided a soundtrack to my life many times over the years. For me, the song is about realising, out of nowhere, that you are desperately in love with someone who previously featured in your life in a completely different capacity, but the tragedy is the fleeting nature of the relationship, and only realising afterwards what a powerful and unique moment it was. As an aside, I strongly suspect, given the Balearic feel of the song, the mention of the ocean in the first line, and the fact that during this period New Order were writing and recording in Ibiza, that the situation that inspired the song happened to Barney amid the searingly hot, lusty climes of the Mediterranean. The crystaline, celestial, eerie keyboard lines just add to the feeling that he's living with a ghost - the spectre of the lost love that was short-lived but profoundly intense and never far from his thoughts. Truly makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear this song.
@SJG1979 <br /> <br /> I advise you to learn how to spell and speak grammatically correct. <br /> <br /> Does that S stand for "$hit on"?
That's super sweet to know how much you love me, though. Is it love or is it just deep admiration or just wishing you were ME?
She always was completely and madly in love with someone else, though. So, that must be a hard pill to swallow. For you.
Now she's MADLY AND FIERCELY IN LOVE WITH EVEN MORE, when she never thought anyone could hold a candle. A seance lit up her room. It's like an ORGY, though.. no one is even mad or jealous. It's just a lifestyle. <br /> 😉😏😜😁<br /> <br />
Yep, you guessed it.. she is a whore and she LOVES it!! She finally found her calling.
