@[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.
Urban Hipster, the new gangster frontin' by the club
A new wave mannequins packin' haircuts, instead of packin' guns
Magazines form overseas, won't teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for Indie rock charts to tell them what is real
When did they assume putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to ostracize
Out of the woodwork, art aficionados
Answer one question
Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
'Cause some of us aren't blind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
'Cause some of us aren't blind
She sells street cred with no smile, at the local record store
She's acting the role and dressing the part, pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity is it bites without a sting
Trends come and go but when you're alone it doesn't mean a thing
When did they assume putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to ostracize
Out of the woodwork art aficionados

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/

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.
I see two messages in this song:
1) Don't be mainstream, be yourself, come out for what you believe, listen to what you like and let others know what you like.
2) Don't be different, just to be different. Act like yourself under any circumstance. Don't be a poser, cause generally the non-posers hate them.
I am neither Metal nor Punk, I like a lot of Music styles including stuff like Linkin Park, Trust Company, etc. but also Anthrax, Killswitch Engage, etc. I'm a Greenday-fan, but still mourn about Dimebag Darrel too. I fit into neither of those groups, I've been kicked out of bands because I didn't adjust to their 'image', I've been beat-up by others who thought of me as a poser. Even if it seems hard, be yourself. You'll feel better and the people close to you will appreciate you for being genuine and pure.
ur my new best friend. i have no clue what people consider me. ive been called goth, emo, punk, rocker chick, freak, metalhead, all of that. ive gotten picked on too, becuase people think im a poser. im just me, you know?
not exactly about the meaning of the song.. but I love the artwork on this page in the booklet.
I guess that it is relating to how people try to be "different" by pretending to be someone else who they aren't. And the result is, in a manner of speaking, a shelf full of "iNdie-cred" Fred's, or empty clones of one another because it is trendy to be "different" and not because it is what they want or it is who they are.
This song is about conformity...
Urban Hipster, the new gangster… frontin’ by the club New wave mannequins packin’ haircuts, instead of packin’ guns
The typical "gangster". The guy who acts street and talks street. But he lives in a nice house/has never experienced what the life is REALLY about. He isn't packing guns he is just concerned with his image.
Where is the line? Where is the line? Between your fashion and your mind Where is the line? Where is the line? ‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
He is saying how people dress and then act that way to the extreme. He is also saying that some people see right through the pathetic act and know what you really are.
The truth about conformity, is it bites without a sting Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn’t mean a thing
That's pretty straight forward
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
You won't be remembered
Be yourself
....errr
I believe this song is about how people act when they are in public. How they try to do what is cool or what it latest trend is. Yet when they are home or alone they dont really act like that. I think its about how people try to be fake and something that theyre not.
eh. im like the school goth/punk/emo or whatever the hell you want to call me. my grandma sees the same thing as my peers. loud, strange, dark, yet relatively upbeat.

well... i think that this song is about people who dress and act the same singling people who are different out and making them feel excluded. "When did they assume putting on a costume gave them the right to ostracize?"
I think it's about how everything new + original gets turned into a mainsteam trend + also how people shouldn't feel inferior if they don't follow the trends.
I read in an interview this song's about the hordes of lame scenesters ruining the music scene etc etc etc
This is about the anti-conformity fashion becoming popular and how those who dress that way to be cool are just as bad as those who dress like gangstas to be cool.
Very good song. It is so real.
