@[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.
Like Sexy Dynamite
Oh yeah, your love it gets me hotter than a flame
Fever at the mention of your name
Don't wanna get too caught up in the game
Too late
Too late, you're taking me over
I knew I was in trouble when you held my hand
You radiate emotion that I just don't understand
You move me with desire, this was not my plan
Oh no
Oh no, I'm going under
You're like water, I can't hold you
Slip through my fingers, I can't control you
I'm on fire with your crazy energy, it's lightning
Look what you do to me
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
All of my life I've been waiting for this
Illuminate the sky with your electrifying kiss
You're gonna take me down but I just can't resist
Too late
Too late, you're taking me over
All the little lover-things you do to me
Your soul ignites the fire that sets me free
You know I will surrender to your ecstasy
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I'm going under
I see a tidal wave on the horizon
I feel the danger, the tide is rising
You're like a hurricane, lightning and thunder
You know I can't escape the spell I'm under
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
And when you kiss me there
A soft explosion fills the air
You know you've got me dear
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
Oh yeah, your love it gets me hotter than a flame
Fever at the mention of your name
Don't wanna get too caught up in the game
Too late
Too late, you're taking me over
I knew I was in trouble when you held my hand
You radiate emotion that I just don't understand
You move me with desire, this was not my plan
Oh no
Oh no, I'm going under
You're like water, I can't hold you
Slip through my fingers, I can't control you
I'm on fire with your crazy energy, it's lightning
Look what you do to me
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
All of my life I've been waiting for this
Illuminate the sky with your electrifying kiss
You're gonna take me down but I just can't resist
Too late
Too late, you're taking me over
All the little lover-things you do to me
Your soul ignites the fire that sets me free
You know I will surrender to your ecstasy
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I'm going under
I see a tidal wave on the horizon
I feel the danger, the tide is rising
You're like a hurricane, lightning and thunder
You know I can't escape the spell I'm under
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
And when you kiss me there
A soft explosion fills the air
You know you've got me dear
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night
You're like sexy dynamite
You cause explosions inside me every night

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
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.
