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”
You play the game
I'll masturbate and sing a lullaby
You run the race
I'll pay the miles
You sing the pink love fuzz
And dance the musty queer
I'll stay at home ‘cause I'm the mouse
So high that I can't fly
More deep than space number nine
Can't tell time by telling time
She's so ready I'm so heavy
It's so heavy on me
Can't hold time by holding time
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Let go, let God they say
I do believe but not in yours or yours
I just believe it's all the same
Don't know just who I am
Don't know about the lamb
I'm the meat of the feast
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
And all the tangerines
They taste like jelly beans
This must be boring by now
Grab a scale and guess the weight of all
The pain I've given with my name
I'm a selfish piece of shit
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
We'll watch Lost in Space on my TV
I'll masturbate and sing a lullaby
You run the race
I'll pay the miles
You sing the pink love fuzz
And dance the musty queer
I'll stay at home ‘cause I'm the mouse
So high that I can't fly
More deep than space number nine
Can't tell time by telling time
She's so ready I'm so heavy
It's so heavy on me
Can't hold time by holding time
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Let go, let God they say
I do believe but not in yours or yours
I just believe it's all the same
Don't know just who I am
Don't know about the lamb
I'm the meat of the feast
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
And all the tangerines
They taste like jelly beans
This must be boring by now
Grab a scale and guess the weight of all
The pain I've given with my name
I'm a selfish piece of shit
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
Lost in space-we could be free
Barbarella
Come and save me from my misery
Can't you see it's a disease
Shoot the bad guys
And I'll gladly sing a tune for you
We'll watch Lost in Space on my TV

@[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 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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
If anyone listens to the second verse, I'm pretty sure it's weiland's take on religious beliefs. In his view, he believes there's some higher power, but he's not taking any one religion's view on it. "Let go, let god they say, I do believe but not in yours or yours. I just believe it's all the same." That part's pretty obvious. Then he says, "Don't know just who I am, don't know about the lamb. I'm the meat of the feast." Clearly, he's referencing Jesus. "The Lamb," is a metaphor for Jesus, and as far as him being the meat of the feast.....no idea. Messiah complex? Dunno, he's maybe making a comparison between him and Jesus tho, meat of the feast referring to Jesus and the last supper. So none of this clarifies the rest of the song, but that's my little 2 cent chime-in on the 2nd verse. Hope that helps someone!
