@[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.
"Depleted Uranium is used on
The ends of bullets
And on the ends of shells because
It is so hard that almost any armament is
Vulnerable to something
That is tipped with Depleted Uranium"
Woahhh!
In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans
- the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's style
Of deadly munitions
It's silent and deadly long after the mission
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Gonna cut through their armor
Then cut through your lungs
If you make it home alive
You'll still die young
A greedy gang of liars
Yeah we've seen it all before
A moneymaking scheme led
By war-profiteering whores
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
"They were throwing it away
Until they figured
Out they could use it for armament"
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste away
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste a
We've heard their lies before and
We know they're lying again
Feels like a déjà vu of
Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend
War profit's surge with every
Breath by Uncle Sam
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
"We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq
And a woman was there with
A very deformed child and
Her husband had been in the
Iraqi Army and had been
In the battles in Southern Iraq and
Came home and they produced a
Baby with very severe
Malformations both the Leukemia rates
In children and
Malformations at birth had increased by 600%
And it was clearly an epidemic where all this
DU had been dumped it becomes
A dust that can be
Inhaled and infect the blood
Stream and the rest
Of the body and it was the opinion of the
Doctors there that this was
Caused by depleted uranium
They simply saw this as being
A direct result of the war by United States"

"The doctor said 'Women in Iraq at the time
Of birth don't ask if it's a boy or a girl
They ask: Is it normal?'
The military denies first
And then after the evidence
Builds to the point where they
Can no longer deny
Then they do the research that's

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Depleted uranium. Miracle of weapon design, and agent orange of the Second Gulf War.
