@[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.
Disappointed?
You know there's never gonna be a cheery face inside this crowded room
Think you're the shit now
Because my lingo
Is so outta the loop, well yes I'm outta the loop
Let's turn our nose up
Become a snob because we're treading on rooves
Cos we're so fucking cool
Oh give that act up
You know you geeks that conglomerate in this city we speak of
Cos you don't always get what you want!
I know you can [x3]
Cos you don't always get what you want!
I know you can [x3]
Attack attack
My disposition got the vulnerable predators on the loose
Yeah let's be vulgur
With some internet sex naked computers
I wish I could feed you some Ritalin
So maybe I could get a reaction
Or maybe even a visual expression
But it's not your fault if you really don't wanna
[Chorus] x4
Attack attack
My disposition
Your tennis shoes, oh yeah your ten issues
Whatever am I, to do?
I wish I could feed you some Ritalin
So maybe I could get a reaction
Or maybe even some visual expression
But it's not your fault if you really don't wanna
[Chorus] x2
You don't always get what you want! [x4]
You know there's never gonna be a cheery face inside this crowded room
Think you're the shit now
Because my lingo
Is so outta the loop, well yes I'm outta the loop
Let's turn our nose up
Become a snob because we're treading on rooves
Cos we're so fucking cool
Oh give that act up
You know you geeks that conglomerate in this city we speak of
Cos you don't always get what you want!
I know you can [x3]
Cos you don't always get what you want!
I know you can [x3]
Attack attack
My disposition got the vulnerable predators on the loose
Yeah let's be vulgur
With some internet sex naked computers
I wish I could feed you some Ritalin
So maybe I could get a reaction
Or maybe even a visual expression
But it's not your fault if you really don't wanna
[Chorus] x4
Attack attack

Your tennis shoes, oh yeah your ten issues

[Chorus] x2
You don't always get what you want! [x4]

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."
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.
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/
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.

Okay, I'll take gpinai91's word for this, seeing as they were posted by Sarah herself, though they sound pretty much like the lyrics you posted yourself.
Thanks to divicool72 and brokenspeech__ for you suggestions too.
I heard this song was about hipsters?
i reckon the songs about someone who's lost a good friend to popularity........ just my thoughts..
good stuff
I think this song is about being who you aren't and pretending to be someone else just for the hell of it.
