This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people struggling tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right down the highway straight down the line
Rips into your senses through your body and your mind
Nothing about it that's sweet
The disease of conceit
There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Steps into your room eats into your soul
Over your senses you have no control
Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit
There's a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right out of nowhere and you're down for the count
From the outside world the pressure will mount
Turn you into a piece of meat
The disease of conceit
Conceit is the disease that the doctors got no cure
They've done a lot of research on it but what it is they're still not sure
There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people seeing trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Give you delusions of grandeur and an evil eye
Give you the idea that you're too good to die
The they bury you from head to your feet
From the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people struggling tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right down the highway straight down the line
Rips into your senses through your body and your mind
Nothing about it that's sweet
The disease of conceit
There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Steps into your room eats into your soul
Over your senses you have no control
Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit
There's a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right out of nowhere and you're down for the count
From the outside world the pressure will mount
Turn you into a piece of meat
The disease of conceit
Conceit is the disease that the doctors got no cure
They've done a lot of research on it but what it is they're still not sure
There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people seeing trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Give you delusions of grandeur and an evil eye
Give you the idea that you're too good to die
The they bury you from head to your feet
From the disease of conceit

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
A beautiful exposition on sin.

Yeah. I'd like to think Dylan admonishes people against beaviour that isolates them from others. Whether its being religious (Oh Sister), being a schmuck (Like a Rolling Stone), don't be a prude (Lay Lady Lay), or conceipt. On the other hand, he does send the island of fags and gamblers to the bottom in Black Diamond Bay.
Tele evangelist Marvin Gorman's downfall in 86,Jim Baker in 87, & Jimmy Swagart in 88, all fell due to their conceit & moral faliings. Re: Jimmy Sawagart wiki. Dylan wrote this in 89. <br /> Dylan's mention of sickness of the soul, delusions of grandeur, and the idea that your to good to die comments was written after tele evangelist Jimmy Swagarts downfall. <br /> He mentions a priests transgressions with a prostitute again in The Man With The Black Coat in the same O Mercy album. <br />
A very beautiful song, and like arabhammerhead said, somewhat like Lay Lady Lay I think that song is about conceit as well, and Like A Rolling Stone It shows the emotional evolution of Dylan, too
Like A Rolling Stone is angry, youthful, spite-fulled, vengeful, mean and oppositional toward the girl who is now no longer in the lap of luxury.
Lay Lady Lay is more a middle-aged, everyman view of it, just an honest working-class joe who loves this girl. I love the line "my clothes are dirty but my hands are clean"
And here, he is expanding the idea of conceit into a universal thing. Like the narrator in Like A Rolling Stone, is now suffering from the disease as much as the girl was at one time, and maybe the woman in Lay Lady Lay didn't lay, because she was conceited. And so her and the man in the song both suffer. It ties in everything. Very important song, to me, in the Dylan canon.

This song just shows me who I really am, how rotten my heart is, and my need for mercy. Oh mercy!
Yes, conceit has very much to do with sin. This includes the observation that most religious people are quite confident that their personal problems with sin have essentially been solved. They are sure: A thorough check of convictions (= penance) is certainly of fundamental importance, but only for others. However much their personal “beliefs” deviate from those of others or from the overall evidence in the scriptures: On judgment day the judge day will bow to their versions if they remain free from doubt. What nonsense! They will miss the mark because of this unjustified conviction of safety.
Those who do not need to listen will become deaf. “Over your senses / You have no control.” Do you believe that Assad thinks he is a cruel tyrant? I assume he rather thinks he loves his people and has to protect it from terrorists. There are hundreds around him that confirm this thinking.
Deceit is much more common than you think.
