The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
[Misfits Cover]
Well, we land in barren fields
On the arizona plains
The insemination of little girls
In the middle of wet dreams
We are the angel mutants
The streets for us seduction
Our cause injust and ancient
In this "b" film born invasion
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Well, we've seen your 3-d movies
In violent abduction
We blast your mindless structure
Inferior connection
We take your weak resistance
Throw it in your face
We need no introduction
For mass anhiliation
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Well, we need no introduction
No visas or carte blanche
Inhuman reproduction
We're here for what we want
We want, we need it, we'll take it
We want, we need it, we'll take it
We want, we need it, we'll take it
We want, we need it, we'll take it, baby
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
And we don't care (and we don't care)
And we don't care, we don't care
We don't care, and we don't care
And we don't care
Well, we land in barren fields
On the arizona plains
The insemination of little girls
In the middle of wet dreams
We are the angel mutants
The streets for us seduction
Our cause injust and ancient
In this "b" film born invasion
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Well, we've seen your 3-d movies
In violent abduction
We blast your mindless structure
Inferior connection
We take your weak resistance
Throw it in your face
We need no introduction
For mass anhiliation
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Well, we need no introduction

We want, we need it, we'll take it
We want, we need it, we'll take it

Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
Teenagers from mars and we don't care
And we don't care (and we don't care)
And we don't care, we don't care
We don't care, and we don't care
And we don't care

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”
Holiday

@[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'

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/
I love this song. It's got to be my favourite Network song other than Right Hand-A-Rama. Damn I wish this was on MoneyMoney 2020.
