@[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.
Things are gonna change
And not for better
Don't know what it means to me
But it's hopeless, hopeless
Got to get you home
Could be with anyone
Think of what I've done, uh
You know it all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'
The things I do possess
Sometimes they own me too
What they gonna do to me?
It's hopeless, hopeless
What I can't explain
I'm sure you'll get it well
Since I always wanted
I always wanted you
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
If this is what I want
Look at what it did to me
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
If this is what you want
This is what you get instead
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'
And not for better
Don't know what it means to me
But it's hopeless, hopeless
Got to get you home
Could be with anyone
Think of what I've done, uh
You know it all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything

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.

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.
i think it's about the importance of just living life instead of philosophising, making choices instead of endlessly deliberating. 'everything is everything' has a buddhist quality to it, and ties in with 'the more i talk about it the less i do control.' don't bother trying to discuss or understand life, just live it.
That's kind of what I was thinking.<br /> <br /> It also made me think of how we obsess over material things and pointless it is becase everything is everythin<br /> <br /> but yours makes more sense<br /> :P
I think it's about him, how he's usually in control but in this relationship whether it be with a friend, girl, or what have you; he's out of control. The more he gets into it, the less he can do about it. He's starting to talk about things he's never done before and he doesn't really know what he's doing. It's very hush hush (riding low, riding low, riding faster) because maybe the other person wants it that way.
Whatever it means, fantastic beat.
can't understand a word, half of the stuff he's singing. I have no clue what these lyrics are about!
A great song and amazing beat! I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it!
Its an awesome song..really tight.. Besides..the lyrics are so my state of mind.. Simply love it..
well, love this song much, EVERYTHING works here!
I just about die when he says "i always wanted you" A-MAZING
I think this song is about getting consumed by your thoughts and being in so deep you can't control how you feel. I think it's about losing something or someone that holds a strong value in your life.
In this case..it seems like it's a relationship. I think he's already gotten the girl and he's on top of the world..only thing left is to lose her. You let that thought consume you..you might end up understanding the lyrics in this song.
sorry...<br /> <br /> I think it's about being afraid to lose soemthing or someone that holds a strong value in your life.
EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING...yUP, that's what it means
I'm with wintersetheart on this one. He feels out of control with someone who knows him well. It's confusing for him. Interesting song.
