@[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.
This building is barely standing on its own foundation
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Everything they hold true
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
No one gets the point
No one sees my effort
No one gets the point
Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope
Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
Do I even care as I watch a sea of people
Dwindling into an audience of skin and bones
An audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out on
A man who has tarnished their faith
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Everything they hold true
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
No one gets the point
No one sees my effort
No one gets the point
Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope
Welcome to my dying home (Dying house)
Welcome inside these crumbling walls
Do I even care as I watch a sea of people
Dwindling into an audience of skin and bones
An audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out on
A man who has tarnished their faith
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
I think he's talking about how people's faith or church may be collapsing because people come to church and just go to sleep, never pay attention or listen to lies. I may be wrong, but anyways good song, love the bells tolling 2 minutes into the song.
