@[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.
Take a listen to what I say
I got the truth and
I'll help you find your way
It's time to take what you know is already yours
It's your life it's your right
You wake up every moment feeling
Numb until you die
Take a chance and walk right
Through that unopened door
That affliction that's the
Curse for the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction
That's the curse for the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
So make your
Pledges and place the blame
They got opinions and you hear them everyday
We got facts to back them up you just can't ignore
You gotta fight
Take a listen to what I say
I got the truth and
I'll help you find your way
It's time to take what you know is already yours
It's your life it's your right
You wake up every moment feeling
Numb until you die
Take a chance and walk right
Through that unopened door
That affliction that's the
Curse for the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction
That's the curse for the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
So make your
Pledges and place the blame
They got opinions and you hear them everyday
We got facts to back them up you just can't ignore
You gotta fight
For what's right
No matter if the truth just can't be
Seen in black and white
But don't think that's gonna stop 'em
Marching to war

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
It's about a typical corporate rock band. How they shoot down other people's opinions, their capitalists, narcissists and filthy rich. Pennywise also diss straight edgers in this song. Actually pretty funny
