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.
Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
it's safe to say you've changed
(away, away, away)
Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
it's safe to say you're only hip
as in hipocrit, critically unacclaimed
Stop looking at the mess that we've made
And why the hell is every other night is us making mistakes
We'll work it out
Maybe it will work out itself
Where tomorrow takes us no one can tell
I took the long way home today
hoping that we wouldn't cross paths unusually
It's a part of my routine
and I am trying to change
I'll take the long way
Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
it's safe to say you've changed
(away, away, away)
Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
you're only hip
as in hipocrit, critically unacclaimed
Hip as in hipocrit, your changing your name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woahoh
Five steps to the center we stand
Let's throw a coin up and see how it lands
The way we were, the way we weren't
Who's to say?
How much of you and me do you still see?
How much of you and me do you still see?
(Do you see?) How much do you see?
Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
it's safe to say you've changed

Remember the good old days
before I was replaced by a fake
I'm not the only on that thinks
you're only hip
as in hipocrit, critically unacclaimed
Hip as in hipocrit, your changing your name
and your address
Right it down baby don't forget
Did you lose all your friends because of me?
Change your name and your address
It was all a consequence
Did you lose all your friends because of me?
What happened, why did we, where will we go?
Remember the good old days? (Do you remember?)

Little Feat
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/
what does this song mean to me? i'm gonna drop names just for you to know.
samara me and kels were all friends. the best of friends might i add. samara and i liked a boy named dimitry. we agreed that he was off limits because honestly, it's chicks before dicks. the next day he asked her out and she said yes. then she met kim. kims a fifteen year old alcoholic. : ] that's fabulous right? samara stats drinking and forgets who her real friends are. starts trash talking us for no apparent reason, samara even is sneeking around [like a snake] to go get drunk, and she even gets arrested. real nice babe. and kim, is really a fake because she goes around talking about samara all the time calling her fat and a drunk, when in reality samara is not fat and wasn't always drunk like kim was.
AND not to mention, samara ditched kelsey on her birthday. :[
so this song makes perfect fucking sense to me. even the title. "the fake the snake and the birthday cake" fake=kim snake=samara and birthday cake=kelsey. and i guess i'm just steve singing it.
hey kelsey, remember the good old days before we were replaced by fakes. we're not the only ones who think its safe to say she's changed. cause nini and dj [other friends] see it too.
