This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Rarely the rare are seen in the ocean of chaotic reality
This lighthouse gives direction, caution, and awareness
In the dark and distant, this man is still seen
His fierce devotion to what he believes is true
As he feels the weight of this collapsed nation
Staring into the face of adversity (he will remain)
With courage and bravery
It keeps him walking towards the flames (he will remain)
In good faith that he will remain
Our existence is an imprint
We all have a legacy to live, he says to me
(We believe)
Our existence is an imprint
We all have a legacy to live, he says to me
(We believe)
His grace is such a blessing
Surely it's something to write home about
It's presence never recognized while life passes by,
never stopping to thank you
Be calm. Just sleep. Let your heavy spirit rest it's knees
You've been running for so many years, he says to me
He says to me
A true inspiration, a light in the dark and distant
I stop my life to thank you
You have carried me through the storm, through it's heavy winds
I stop my life to thank you
Rarely the rare are seen
What's seen as defeat is his philosophy
Better to be a one-man army than a cavalry hurdling the weak
He brings comfort to the masses in the name of compassion
His merit, his amour, clears the path for the broken down and defeated
To see the masterpiece that's painted in our names
What we see is not all we believe (We believe)
He will remain
What we see is not all we believe (We believe)
He will remain
This lighthouse gives direction, caution, and awareness
In the dark and distant, this man is still seen
His fierce devotion to what he believes is true
As he feels the weight of this collapsed nation
Staring into the face of adversity (he will remain)
With courage and bravery
It keeps him walking towards the flames (he will remain)
In good faith that he will remain
Our existence is an imprint
We all have a legacy to live, he says to me
(We believe)
Our existence is an imprint
We all have a legacy to live, he says to me
(We believe)
His grace is such a blessing
Surely it's something to write home about
It's presence never recognized while life passes by,
never stopping to thank you
Be calm. Just sleep. Let your heavy spirit rest it's knees
You've been running for so many years, he says to me
He says to me
A true inspiration, a light in the dark and distant
I stop my life to thank you
You have carried me through the storm, through it's heavy winds
I stop my life to thank you
Rarely the rare are seen
What's seen as defeat is his philosophy
Better to be a one-man army than a cavalry hurdling the weak
He brings comfort to the masses in the name of compassion
His merit, his amour, clears the path for the broken down and defeated
To see the masterpiece that's painted in our names
What we see is not all we believe (We believe)
He will remain
What we see is not all we believe (We believe)
He will remain

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
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/
Appears to be a song about how God will preserve through it all, will always be there for you, be that light in the darkness etc.
It's amazing how a belief in something so metaphysical can be such a so strong presence in so many lives ... personally I much prefer a physical and tangible presence. But each to their own.
