@[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.
Going for a drive, won't you come along?
Wind in your hair
Picnic in the park
Let's take a ride in my Corvette
Your hair will blow in the breeze
Everything's fine in my Corvette
Going for a drive, won't you come along?
Wind in your hair
Ribbons on your face
Two Corvettes collide on the freeway
Wind in your hair
Picnic in the park
Let's take a ride in my Corvette
Your hair will blow in the breeze
Everything's fine in my Corvette
Going for a drive, won't you come along?
Wind in your hair
Ribbons on your face
Two Corvettes collide on the freeway

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.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this is my favorite animal collective song. i guess there could be many interpretations, but when i listen to it i think about two or more generally good guys going after a girl, and she can only pick one, and this is how the guy that it left out feels.
I think it's about him wanting to go have a picnic with someone but then on the way they die. It builds you up for something kinda happy then BAM car crash.
I like cerealiscool's interpratation. that is what is seemed like to me.
i think this song is totally funny and i love it.
Anyhow I think maybe its about the union of two things that really want to unite and then end up totally: a) Smitten b) devastated c) dead d) having sex
so maybe its two people going to have sex who knows or its just as simple as it looks!
anyone notice the refrences to this song in the peacebone video?
Perhaps the meanings is simpler... If you have been in a car crash than you know how sudden they are. The lyrics leading to the final lyric are all very calm and relaxing. Then the beat becomes erratic and two corvettes collide.
i think that the first verse, is a man saying to a girl "Going for a drive won't you come along". The rest of the verse, is just descriptive of their ride... "Wind in your hair Picnic in the park"
the second verse is again somewhat descriptive yet, it explains the safety of being in the car with the male "Everything's fine in my Corvette"
the third verse, is same as the first with just one descriptive line being suttle-y different from the first "Ribbons on your face" I take this verse though, to be another man asking the same as the first.
then after the two verses have been sung which explain that it will be safe and fun, it then says: "Two Corvettes collide on the freeway"
as though the two couples crashed...
i think it's a bit sad.
I see their drive as the pursuit of the "ideal" life. The fact that the two cars crash is a statement that the pursuit of this life, everyones pursuit of this life only ends in a clash.
i sort of agree williaad.
but slightly different.
i think this is about a man taking his love interest out on a date, to a picnic or something, an how they're so happy together and feel so safe when they're driving together. but then they get in a crash on the freeway and die. but they die happy.
bittersweet and sad.
