@[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 can see
When you stay low
Nothing happens
Does it feel right?
Late at night
Things I thought I'd put behind me
Haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape now
Once it sets it's eyes on you
But I won't run
Have to stare it in the eyes
Stand my ground
I won't give in
No more denying
I've gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground
It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer into my world
I can feel that it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run
There's no turning back from here
Stand my ground
I won't give in
No more denying
I've gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground
All I know for sure is that I'm trying
I will always stand my ground
Stand my ground
I won't give in, (I won't give in)
I won't give up, (I won't give up)
No more denying (ah)
I've gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground
I won't give in
No more denying
I've gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

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.
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/

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 think its just about saying "no, its my time now, and youre nto gonna stop me doing what i want to"
its about taking things in your own hands, and facing whats to come. not holding back and being strong.
i agree that Evanescence and Within Temptation shouldn't really be compared, they both have unique sounds and their songs carry different meanings.
I love this song,I could listen to it over and over again! this song makes me think(on a personal note)of avoidance of something. for me it would be shyness/or fear.I know its not the songs original meaning but this just what comes to mind when I hear this song.so here I go:
"I Can See When You Stay Low Nothing Happens " I can see staying "under the radar"/or being shy doesn't make anything happen
"Does It Feel Right? Late At Night Things I Thought I'd Put Behind Me Haunt My Mind " it doesn't feel right,and at nigh before I go to sleep or if I go for a walk things Ithough I put behind me haunt me.
"I Just Know There's No Escape Now Once It Sets It's Eyes On You But I Wont Run Have To Stare It In The Eyes" I know no mater how I try to hide from "it"/my fears/shyness It will always catch up with me,Like a predator once it has its eyes on you there's no escape. but I need to stop running and stare it/my shyness/fears in the eyes.
"Stand My Ground I Won't Give In No More Denying I've Gotta Face It Won't Close My Eyes And Hide The Truth Inside If I Don't Make It, Someone Else Will Stand My Ground " I need to stand my ground like a rock against the rivers current. no more denying that I need to face it. if I don't always make it someone I love will(help me)
"It's All Around Getting Stronger, Coming Closer Into My World I Can Feel That It's Time For Me To Face It Can I Take It?" my fears/shyness is all around,getting stronger to more I dont face it taking over my life/world. the more it does,the more I feel I need to face it,but can I take it on?
"Though This Might Just Be The Ending Of The Life I Held So Dear But I Won't Run There's No Turning Back From Here " now that I acknowledge it this might be the end of the life I really hold close to me. but its too late to look back and run.
I just thought it would be fun the share my personal feeling OF this song,I hope others do the same its very fun to see how a song affects other people!
to me this song means; "i have had enough of this rubbish its my turn to cause hell for others
Really like this song, although I think this song draws them the comparisons with Evanescence, even the video is a bit samey to 'Bring me to life'. Not necesarily a bad thing, but I think WT have a lot more to offer with songs like Memories, Jillian etc. and people should hear songs like Ice Queen and mother earth before drawing comparisons.
The video is really great though, although I always find the end when you see them in the boat to bit funny.
@Lailseax Well after the city sank...
They sound totally different...but i love them all the same!!!! Please come to Australia WT...hehe preferrably of the ACT/sydney area :P
imo, it is about not being a loser anymore.. stop making excuses.. dun have to be scared n try our very best.. it is rather motivational.. telling oneself not to be a shrinking violet anymore.. and work hard to achieve one's goal.
wt and evanescence are unique in their respective ways.. i love both.. their musics gave a huge impact on me.. surprisingly, there is not a single songs of theirs' that i dun like..
I've listened to this over and over again, mostly cos it remindes me that I have to be more dependent now that I don't have a boyfriend and I live alone. It somewhat means to me that I won't take anymore bullshit from him. So I'm on my own, and it's better that way...
there is one sentence that i dont get in this song but jumps out the most: If I Don't Make It, Someone Else Will
when i heard the song for the first song this sentence got my attention. and i thought the song was about revenge wich that sentence would imply. but obviously the song is not about revenge
so what does that sentence mean?
