This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Within struggle, amidst horror
Inside conflict, visceral war
Make a stand here, vanquish all fear
Don't hesitate, eradicate
[Chorus]
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Apprehension runs down your chin
Masticate it, suck those tears in
Life's a battle, perpetual crusade
One against all, time to wield the blade
[Chorus]
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
[Repeat: x2]
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Inside conflict, visceral war
Make a stand here, vanquish all fear
Don't hesitate, eradicate
[Chorus]
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
Apprehension runs down your chin
Masticate it, suck those tears in
Life's a battle, perpetual crusade
One against all, time to wield the blade
[Chorus]
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
[Repeat: x2]
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it
Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/

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.
