@[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.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
well obviously he referring to people who worship their money and how they don't care about anything else
No. It's about people who worship God<br /> <br /> God = Money = God's Money<br /> <br /> I am amazed at how seldom people on this site realize songs are anti-religion. Maybe they have a head like a hole...
How would you explain the following lines then?<br /> <br /> god money's not looking for the cure<br /> god money's not concerned about the sick among the pure<br /> god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised<br /> god money's not one to choose<br /> <br /> Would they better apply to:<br /> 1) A person consumed with gaining wealth.<br /> 2) A person who worships God.<br /> <br /> Sounds like more of an Ebenezer Scrooge type to me.
I can relate to crick23, it is my pick up song. I need to dance like a fucking maniac every time i hear it, sweet.
ohk ohk calm down everyone sex is all well and good! nice nice yeah ohk and back to analising music.... its straight hatred of religion and materialists. and support of the people who arent part of either.
"id rather die, than give you control"
we aint going to heaven if its gonna cost us the freedom of an entire lifetime, and in the end, there may not even be a heaven! going to hell and proud i am. if there is one
@One Crayzee Fulla One thing is for sure....one day you will know.
I have a different take on this song. I think it expresses anger towards the fact that we are all slaves to money. Nobody works because they like doing it, they do it for the money; they serve the "god of money". The god of money cannot be destroyed or avoided, and will never relent, and, because of that, this person has no choice but to do exactly what the god of money wants him to. At the same time, he hates it so much, and he doesn't want his life and his time taken away. That is, of course, just the way I relate to this song.
Good observation! Perhaps some cognitive dissonance there. I can totally relate.<br />
@invalid <br /> Man I’ve been listening to this album for over five months straight, the only CD, and nearly the only music going in my ears and through my head. And I JUST REALIZE RIGHT NOW!!<br /> Thank you so much, it makes so much more sense now!<br /> :)
I work for an awful, just god awful company named Gamestop and it's been about two years...quitting shortly, this song makes me feel better about it heh, fucking money just runs over everything these days, apparently good customer service doesn't mean shit anymore
love NIN
@Aparanoidandroi amazingly… Gamestop became a meme stock and the stop has been inflated 300x
For the person who asked what does "Head like a hole" mean I would venture to guess that he means to say empty headed.
As for the meaning of the song, I recall reading an interview with Reznor in an underground magazine back when this album first came out and no one had really heard of him yet. In the interview he discussed how he had been raised by his ultra religious grandparents on a farm in, I believe it was, Pennsylvania. He spoke of how the album was at the same time about both his loathing of religion and his love affair with his crack pipe.
Based on that, I'll leave it to ya'll to decide what this song is actually about :-)
This song is about obsessing over money,
Either that or its about S&M bondage humiliation sex.
This song is about resisting one's own greed for money and thus denying its power to control one's life. Many people's lives are controlled by the desire to accumulate more and more money until they become a slave to it's allure. Many Nine Nails song are ultimately about powerlessness of the self--the internal desires that often bring destruction and unhappiness into one's life.
It seems he is talking about Wall Street Banks back in the day. It would make sence if that is what he is talking about.
That sounds about right to me. All I can add is this song makes me hot as fuck.
