its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You believe in this fake reality so you can go and destroy.
Men organize wars and slaughters.
But I will be in front of you.
Nothing can… nothing can calm me.
You do not deserve to live.
Only your blood relieve me.
I know it’s inside of you.
I know it’s inside of me and death doesn’t frighten me.
Each man has this survival instinct, inside of him.
I know it’s inside of me and death doesn’t frighten me.
You have to make your own choice.
You have to take on your decisions.
Are you afraid? The human world is so violent.
It can’t prevent the violence of men.
My liberty: my freedom is priceless.
Keep me, I don’t think my actions make me act.
I feel worse.
You have to take on your decisions and their consequences.
Nature is more powerful than all these corrupt values in which you believe.
Men organize wars and slaughters.
But I will be in front of you.
Nothing can… nothing can calm me.
You do not deserve to live.
Only your blood relieve me.
I know it’s inside of you.
I know it’s inside of me and death doesn’t frighten me.
Each man has this survival instinct, inside of him.
I know it’s inside of me and death doesn’t frighten me.
You have to make your own choice.
You have to take on your decisions.
Are you afraid? The human world is so violent.
It can’t prevent the violence of men.
My liberty: my freedom is priceless.
Keep me, I don’t think my actions make me act.
I feel worse.
You have to take on your decisions and their consequences.
Nature is more powerful than all these corrupt values in which you believe.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
I sort of take this as a message to act with the best intentions at all times in life, and not to let religion dictate what is "good" (or at least don't let religion's threats make you act "good").
That is God will know whether you are good if you did or didn't attend church. It is what is inside of you that counts ... not how often you went to church or read the bible. As hypocrites may hide behind church doors to fight wars and absolve themselves of guilt in the name of God (usually unjustifiably).
