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.
My very existence offends you and I love while you are
Spinning your wheels I move straight ahead ten fold
With nothing more than a gut feeling to move. While
You're spinning your wheels for a lousy name. I never
Met anyone who tries as hard as you, you're up all
Night,learning the big words to come off strong. The
Only ones you're fooling are your so-called allies.
You live off them and call it a revolution. Well,
You're a joke. and a lousy friend. You're just another
P.C. jackass operation. Self-imposed poverty in a
Squalor for bitching rights is embarrassing. But, you
Kept it real cozy at home. So, send all mail bombs to
Mom and make the whole family proud of just what he
Teaches. You talk a square into a circle, but nothing
Really changes. You have an out. Real people don't,
Real people don't give a shit how you think they
Should live.
Spinning your wheels I move straight ahead ten fold
With nothing more than a gut feeling to move. While
You're spinning your wheels for a lousy name. I never

Only ones you're fooling are your so-called allies.
You live off them and call it a revolution. Well,
You're a joke. and a lousy friend. You're just another

@[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.
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/
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.
