@[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.
Well I remember all the nights I used to stay at home
On the phone all night long
Used to talk about all the things
We really wanted do
I believed in you
I remember how you used to say
"Have no fear, be OK"
When you told me anything you want is possible
We could have it all
I believed in you
Must have been a fool
All my dreams were with you
I say it's OK, I can promise you it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up, all night
No more
You're not here but it's OK
I assure you, babe, it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up all night
No more
You're not here but it's OK
Well now you got to where you wanted like I knew you would
Cash, car, house, it's all good
It's the why you never come
Around here no more
Like you did before
Got it all that's the way it seems
Looked like you lived your dream
And I hope you're life has turned out for the better now
When I'm not around
I believed in you
Must have been a fool
All my dreams were with you
I say it's OK, I can promise you it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up, all night
No more
You're not here but it's OK
I assure you, babe, it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up all night
No more
You're not here but it's OK
It's alright, it's OK
It's alright, it's OK
It's alright, it's OK
You're not here with me
It's alright, it's OK (it's alright)
It's alright, it's OK (it's ok)
It's alright, it's OK
You're not here with me
I say it's OK, I can promise you it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up, all night

You're not here but it's OK
I assure you babe it's alright
You ain't keepin' me up all night

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
