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”
I play a game till im dead
Or on a magazine
I want to look like im dead
Dancing on the string
I eat the food when it's dead
Make a mess of things
Get that look
Everywhere
But keep that look
Off my face
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
From a crumbling tower
I see everything
London, Tokyo, New York City
There's no love
There's no love
There's no love
Any place
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Are we creatures
Helplessly attacking repetition
Over, over
Left with who we are
Did you tell anyone
Did you tell, any place
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Or on a magazine
I want to look like im dead
Dancing on the string
I eat the food when it's dead
Make a mess of things
Get that look
Everywhere
But keep that look
Off my face
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
From a crumbling tower
I see everything
London, Tokyo, New York City
There's no love
There's no love
There's no love
Any place
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Are we creatures
Helplessly attacking repetition
Over, over
Left with who we are
Did you tell anyone
Did you tell, any place
Everybody else want to fall in love
Theres no room for love
In a violet sky
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Living in the Era Vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights

@[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'
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” 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.
