@[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.
Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people have to fight
Some people give it up
They wanna hold you back, tell 'em pee off
Whenever they say you can't, take the T off
I remember when they told me I couldn't be famous
Now my dream and reality is simultaneous
And work your own way to the top
If they put you on a pedestal they can take you off
And there's a higher level than the top
You gotta make more, don't do with what you got
Yeah, so get it in go sunny
Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel
The hunger in your tummy
I'm always pushing myself to the limit
Making sure I stay ahead
You made me who I am, from the words you said
Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion
Some people have to fight
Some people give their lives
Some people don't believe
I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
This gon be the realest shit I ever wrote
Off the record, no camera's, forget a quote
Some of my family doing good, most doing dope
I from Virginia where they hang the n-ggas by rope
I used to see my momma getting beat down!
Is that the real definition of me now?
I fell off, back on my feet now
Headed to the sky, can't even see down
Award shows, I poured my heart out
And people still steady trynna point my flaws out
And I'd be lying if I said it ain't get to me
But I'm a champion, legend, history
I'm always pushing myself to the limit
Making sure I stay ahead
You made me who I am, from the words you said
Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion
Some people have to fight
Some people give their lives
Some people don't believe
I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
Imagine you was the one, that couldn't get a look in
Couldn't get a booking
Couldn't get a push in when you needed a shove
Or your buttons they be pushing
So now they tryna shush him
It's only you believing in you
They turn you into a bastard than moment you rude
Attitude a little out of tune
But thats how champions move
Yeah so go and get it in sunny
Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
Or even getting lucky
So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy
I'm always pushing myself to the limit
Making sure I stay ahead
You made me who I am, from the words you said
Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion
Some people have to fight
Some people give their lives
Some people don't believe
I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
No-one wants to help
I guess you're on your own
Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
In a black and white World, True colors show
Change if you want, everybody grows
Life's like an ill, but try and get a hold
Opinions ain't fact, take em and let em go
You made me who I am from the words you said

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is quite an interesting song, with much more depth than the average pop record. I'm not any dedicated fan of Chipmunk but I heard this song on the radio today and thought it was pretty good.
The first verse is encouraging people to be confident and achieve the best they can. 'the hunger in your tummy' is probably a metaphor for the desire to succeed. He reminds us that 'not everybody gets a second chance at getting money' though--it's a lot harder for some people than others.
Verse 2 is about the difficulty of doing this--'It's only you believing in you'. With 'they turn you into a bastard the moment you rude' he's saying how the slightest error can mess up your chances. Verse 3 is saying you'll have to pull through things yourself, since 'No-one wants to help'. You have to develop a thick skin, and remember 'Opinions ain't fact'.
So basically the lyrics try and inspire you to achieve your dreams but acknowledge that it's not easy.
However, in the chorus it's stated 'Some people but not me, I was born a champion', which seems to imply that the singer feels like he's had an easy rise to fame, and not had to get through much challenges on the way. This is another reminder (like the lines at the end of the 1st and 2nd verses) that there is inequality; some people will find it harder to achieve than others.
Agreed Alces, all but one. Wen u say they're implying they had an easy ride. Maybe wot they mean is wen they say
"You made me who I am From the words you said"
Maybe they're just saying that they're stronger than the average person. I think its explained in the chorus:
"Some people have to learn" -- They're not ready or havent enough experience in life to do the things they want.
"Some people wait their turn" -- the opportunity is in their grasp and they just let it go as they're too afraid to make a change.
"Some people but not me I was born a champion" -- just knowing your time is now.
"Some people have to fight" -- they dont have it easy. It feels like everythings against them as every little thing pulls them down.
"Some people give their lives" -- simply they gave everything they had and/or spent their lives fighting with no recognition and the door slammed in their face . Or it cud also go along the lines of our soildiers in Iraq and all other wars giving their lives for our countries today. Also applies for the previous line.
"Some people don't believe But i was born a champion" -- they have much stronger drive and determination to achieve wotever they wanna acheive.
Just my interpretation anyways:) Chris Brown sounds delicious on this song XDDD
