@[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.
Just a little further up the hill, boy
You'll be home, soon enough
All along the river, heading fast as I could
Watch as the wasteland flowers
Old cars and rubbish flourish
The black berries and red berries
Sweet black berries, taste red berries
Berries, berries
Went looking for my tower
Off all the rails and the roads
In need of resurrection
As my desires and power are growing in thickets
Tall all around me, tall and all around me
Tall around me, around, around, around now
Well, have I been traveling so long
That I've forgot how to stop?
Why are my breaks all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
And then in the mirror, pale and deathly I have become
Well, what have I become? Mother?
What have I become? Become, become, become now
Oh, now
And all my wastelands flower
(And all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow now
(Grow)
And all my wastelands flower
(Why all my wastelands flower?)
And all my thickets grow tall and tall
(Grow)
Tall and tall, tall, tall
(Grow)
Tall all around all around me
Pale and deathly, as all wasteland flowers
And all thickets grow, pale and deathly
As all your wasteland flowers and all your thickets grow
Pale and deathly as all your wasteland flowers
And all your thickets grow
Pale and deathly as all your wasteland flowers
And all your thickets grow
What have I become now?
Pale and deathly I have become
What have I become?
Become, become, become now
Become, become, become now
You'll be home, soon enough
All along the river, heading fast as I could
Watch as the wasteland flowers
Old cars and rubbish flourish
The black berries and red berries
Sweet black berries, taste red berries
Berries, berries
Went looking for my tower
Off all the rails and the roads
In need of resurrection
As my desires and power are growing in thickets
Tall all around me, tall and all around me
Tall around me, around, around, around now
Well, have I been traveling so long
That I've forgot how to stop?
Why are my breaks all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
And then in the mirror, pale and deathly I have become
Well, what have I become? Mother?
What have I become? Become, become, become now
Oh, now
And all my wastelands flower
(And all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow now
(Grow)
And all my wastelands flower
(Why all my wastelands flower?)
And all my thickets grow tall and tall
(Grow)
Tall and tall, tall, tall
(Grow)
Tall all around all around me
Pale and deathly, as all wasteland flowers
And all thickets grow, pale and deathly
As all your wasteland flowers and all your thickets grow
Pale and deathly as all your wasteland flowers
And all your thickets grow
Pale and deathly as all your wasteland flowers
And all your thickets grow
What have I become now?
Pale and deathly I have become
What have I become?
Become, become, become now
Become, become, become now

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."
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.
This is a beautiful song. Surprised no one's commented on it really. One of the best on the album in my opinion.
A fantastic song. It seems to me to be a development of The Towe
-Taste red berries, not tainted. -Also, off the rails and roads, not of. -Growing thicker, not grown thicket
This is my favourite song on the album, it's just so heartbreakingly beautiful. The strings and Jo's vocals on it are stunning. Also, Tilda fits in so well!
this is one of the most relatable songs for me
on top of that, it's such a beautiful, out-of-body-experience type song
This song makes me feel like I'm standing in the dark in a barren field with owls circling around me... Wolf captures a brooding beauty.
("Just a little further up the hill, boy. You'll be home soon enough.")
All along the river Pedaling fast as I could Watch as the wasteland flowers Old cars and rubbish flourish With blackberries and Red berries
Sweet blackberries Tainted red berries Berries Berries
Went looking for my tower Off all the rails and the roads In need of resurrection As my desires and powers Grow in thickets Tall all round me Tall all around me Tall around me Around Around Around
Have I been traveling so long That I've forgot how to stop? Why are my brakes all broken? Wheels spinning out of control And in the mirror Pale and deathly have become
Look, what have I become Mother, what have I become Become Become Become now
And all my wastelands flower And all my thickets grow And all my wastelands flower And all my thickets grow Taller and taller still Taller and taller Taller and taller All around All around me
What have I become Pale and deathly have become What have I become Become Become Become now ("Pale and deathly As all the wasteland flowers And all the thickets grow") Become Become Become now ("Pale and deathly As all your wasteland flowers And all the thickets grow")
