In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Never read Proust
Seems a little too long
Never used the hammer
Without somehow using it wrong
Ive got time on my hands
That I cant wash off
Im crusing..
I cant shake this car
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue a proven review
Never wear a helmet
when Im riding a bike
Never recall a face
to me they all look alike
Ive got a hole in my brain
where what I meant to say lives
Im live in the past
And give back gifts and gifts
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue with a proven view
(solo)
Sometimes
In the future tense
I hope that you were safer
Put up an electric fence
Then only then
We can all get along
Get it down in writing
Judge Judy tell me if Im wrong
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue with a proven view
Seems a little too long
Never used the hammer
Without somehow using it wrong
Ive got time on my hands
That I cant wash off
Im crusing..
I cant shake this car
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue a proven review
Never wear a helmet
when Im riding a bike
Never recall a face
to me they all look alike
Ive got a hole in my brain
where what I meant to say lives
Im live in the past
And give back gifts and gifts
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue with a proven view
(solo)
Sometimes
In the future tense
I hope that you were safer
Put up an electric fence
Then only then
We can all get along
Get it down in writing
Judge Judy tell me if Im wrong
Walls are closing in
They often do
Im seeing double and triple
Does this ever happene to you?
I dont have to make it rain
But I never argue with a proven view

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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
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/

“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.
such an amazing song... as to the lyrics your questioning reality soldier... I have no clue, it really sounds like it could be either. "Judge Judy tell me if I'm wrong" always makes me crack a grin.
