@[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.
it leaves me hurting spiteful the dust throat longing choking in true form hopeful bitter the last cry pleading verbal
the thirst comes the face falls it crumbles the plain way in plain view it's forced through at arms length i feel you with gloves on you see me there's no one the thirst's gone
call me crazy i provide life all this fruit falls all my life blind sweetened poison left to die dry the face that's not me nor is it mine
the thirst comes the face falls it crumbles the plain way in plain view it's forced through at arms length i feel you with gloves on you see me there's no one the thirst's gone
the thirst comes the face falls it crumbles the plain way in plain view it's forced through at arms length i feel you with gloves on you see me there's no one the thirst's gone
call me crazy i provide life all this fruit falls all my life blind sweetened poison left to die dry the face that's not me nor is it mine
the thirst comes the face falls it crumbles the plain way in plain view it's forced through at arms length i feel you with gloves on you see me there's no one the thirst's gone

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
'Thirst' to me represents passion, or an affinity for something and perhaps in this case <someone>.
The line that stands out... "at arms length I feel you with gloves on, you see me, there's no one the thirst gone"
I feel this could be the character, reaching out and trying to communicate, trying to grab at substance within a relationship/friendship. The gloves symbolizing a defense or doubtful stance on his part, hesitant of rejection. The nonreciprocating individual seeing this attempt and no longer having "the thirst". While on the other hand, the character reaching out has intense thirst or admiration despite being unwanted. Maybe all at an attempt to salvage a once flourishing and deep connection they had. Watching someone lose interest in you, fall out of love, or simply distance themselves without reason is painful. It can leave you 'hurting', 'spiteful'...'longing' and eventually 'pleading.'
I especially like the characters looming resentment suggested in "call me crazy, I provide life" at least acknowledging that they're not in reality worthless and are making efforts to help the situation. He becomes aware of the corrosive nature of the relationship he's been battling with "all my life, blind, sweetened poison left to die, dry" and admits he's lost pieces of himself in the struggle, self identity damaged... caught up in everything, draining him. "the face that's not me nor is it mine."
