@[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.
Well, this heart of mine
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I'm movin' on
And you don't haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name
Hey
Well, I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin' through
To claim your lost and found
But I'm over you
And there ain't nothin' that
You could say or do
To take what you did back
You've got nerve to waltz right in
And think what's mine is yours again
I been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain't the one that slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
'Cause love don't live here anymore
Oh, no
Well baby, you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify
Everything you did
But honey, I'm no fool
And I been down this road
Too many times with you
I think it's best you go
Well, I got one thing left to say
Is you can lay in the bed you've made
I been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain't the one that slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
'Cause love don't live here anymore
No, no
Love don't live here anymore
Oh no, oh no
Well you don't live here anymore
Oh you don't live here anymore
Oh no
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I'm movin' on
And you don't haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name
Hey
Well, I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin' through
To claim your lost and found
But I'm over you
And there ain't nothin' that
You could say or do
To take what you did back
You've got nerve to waltz right in
And think what's mine is yours again
I been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain't the one that slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
'Cause love don't live here anymore
Oh, no
Well baby, you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify

But honey, I'm no fool
And I been down this road

No, no
Love don't live here anymore
Oh no, oh no
Well you don't live here anymore
Oh you don't live here anymore
Oh no

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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 LOVE this song...sooo good!!!
He got left by the one he loved, and now that person wants to come back into his life. He won't give them forgiveness and is saying he has no love left to give because they already took his whole heart previously. I love this song :)
It's always an interesting turning of the tide when she leaves you, but then comes crawling back. This song described a girlfriend from a couple years ago. Thanks for another great song Lady A!
"Now you see a change of thinkin'"-love that line. :)
I think it's "well now you say you've changed your thinkin'" :) but good line, nonetheless.
