@[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.
You feel their eyes upon you
Hear their words behind you
What do they know (what do they know)
About you
They tell you who you should be
They tell you what you should do
They'll never believe (never believe)
In you
Somebody should have told you
It never comes easy
Somebody should have told you that
There's no guarantees
And that you lose it all
When you stop dreaming
There's no way to know if you run away
(They tell you who you should be while ignoring your dreams)
There's no looking back
This is your time to stand up
This is your time to fight for
All that you know (all that you know)
And you believe
You owe it to yourself to
Find out what you're meant for
There's no way to know (no way to know)
If you run
They tell us who to be
While ignoring all our dreams
So we'll throw them away (throw them away)
Why is it they can't see
We're who we want to be
We'll throw them away (throw them away)
[Repeat: x2]
Somebody should have told you

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'
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/

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
"Why can't they see That we'll never be who they want us to be We'll never be We have too many dreams Too many dreams to just throw them away"
Best fucking song ever
