This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Sketching your faces, I still don't know your why you're permanent
You want all of the moments stolen
Blind alleys and hallways to basements
said you want to hide till you disappear because nothing and nowhere is golden
apartments are cages, i still don't know what is permanent
maybe all my possessions were precious
truth is all my possessions i somehow lost
been traveling so light and we're flooding back
see it's nothing
some say 'we're lost in space'
some say 'we're falling off the beach'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper
playgrounds and graveyards and all of our scars are permanent
there's no placement for places
i'll always love you, you
numb is the new high, old memories die out 'till
nothing and nowhere is golden
some say 'you're always only wanting to get off'
some say' our hands are much too soft'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper
some say 'our hair is in our eyes'
some say 'where art art, there are minds'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper to have to ask
You want all of the moments stolen
Blind alleys and hallways to basements
said you want to hide till you disappear because nothing and nowhere is golden
apartments are cages, i still don't know what is permanent
maybe all my possessions were precious
truth is all my possessions i somehow lost
been traveling so light and we're flooding back
see it's nothing
some say 'we're lost in space'
some say 'we're falling off the beach'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper
playgrounds and graveyards and all of our scars are permanent
there's no placement for places
i'll always love you, you
numb is the new high, old memories die out 'till
nothing and nowhere is golden
some say 'you're always only wanting to get off'
some say' our hands are much too soft'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper
some say 'our hair is in our eyes'
some say 'where art art, there are minds'
some say all life is insane
some say but it isn't insane on paper to have to ask

@[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 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.
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/
