This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I guess I imagined them myself when no one was looking
And even though the words came from my pen
As yet I haven't the meaning
Vex me not in truth or lie
By cross and fish or dove
Someone's keeping secrets here
And it feels like an inside job
Maybe if I tried just a little bit harder
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, we tried
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
But looking again revealed a pole hanging a serpent
One hundred years flew by in a moment
And all was unimportant
Will you question who I am?
Would you counter these perceptions?
I don't claim to have the answers here
But I can give you directions
Even if I try just a little bit harder
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, we tried
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
I said please let me try just to wait through one more night
Maybe then I'd be home
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, and nothing here is as it should be
Oh, in time we'll make it through this
Oh, in time
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
I said please let me try just to wait through one more night
Maybe then I'd be home
And even though the words came from my pen
As yet I haven't the meaning
Vex me not in truth or lie
By cross and fish or dove
Someone's keeping secrets here
And it feels like an inside job
Maybe if I tried just a little bit harder
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, we tried
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
But looking again revealed a pole hanging a serpent
One hundred years flew by in a moment
And all was unimportant
Will you question who I am?
Would you counter these perceptions?
I don't claim to have the answers here
But I can give you directions
Even if I try just a little bit harder
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, we tried
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
I said please let me try just to wait through one more night
Maybe then I'd be home
Oh, time and wasted bullets
Oh, and nothing here is as it should be
Oh, in time we'll make it through this
Oh, in time
Maybe if I could escape through one more night
I would then feel at home
I said please let me try just to wait through one more night
Maybe then I'd be home

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
this sounds like the singer is running from God, but is still writing about Him, he wants to come back but still keeps running. he knows what to do but can't get himself to do it? it also sounds like his fans might be questioning his loyalty to God in the second verse, and firmly stands up but then it sounds like maybe a fan asks for spiritual help and all he can do is point to the Bible and tell them its in there. good song but not sure if i know the right meaning
