@[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.
Mu-uud, muddy slush, slushy lawn.
In the in between of the winter and spring and the lawn's long gone.
People walking, lotsa people walking over the life in the mud on the sidewalk
Under my crawl...
Under my crawl!
Mu-d bubbles po-p and burst bre-ath into the ai-err.
Where's the in-between if everyone's a-me?
(That there tree grew outta me.)
People talking, lotsa people talking
I'm hurt, you're hurt, my dad's hurt and haven't you learned?
Everyone's hu-uurt...
Everyone's hurt!
--intermission, bridge thingy--
Su-uure we're all smiles,
Singing reptiles,
[Optional: And] Birds at bars,
We measure other species in our heads
[Barely/Fairly/Very] aware that we're so scared,
We measure other species in our heads.
I can step on that li'l fucker's jaw.
I can snap him in half like a wishbone,
And i think to myself (like i'm always thinking)…
I want everything, and two of some of this shit!
Find my place in the apehouse,
See myself in their eyes,
My fingers on their feet.
My possessive love's somewhere in their embrace…
My freedom's limitations in their swinging and their hollering,
And I'm singing and I'm hollering.
And I'm singing! Oh, and I'm hollering.
And I'm singing, and I'm hollering.
And I'm singing! And I'm hollering…
I'm always bothering...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
indeed it is a great song, emo kid. one of my favorites...
