@[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.
"Sometimes bad things happen quite naturally"
"God wouldn't do this, why would he do something?" (x2)
Jesus, my heart is green
The words I scream are lies
And everday I cry----Lord set me free
Lord set me free
Disturbed by thoughts, memories in mind
Oh why did you give up, Lord was I just a waste of time?
Well, I'm simple to you Lord, you're simple to me
I'm sick of all this crying
Lord, I'm sick of all this crying
hoah

(aaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaaa)
Hatred, silence, corruption, violence
Life breeds my hate and hatred builds my love
Oh, for silence is my lips
Sewn shut by the man above
Lord, I'm simple to you, you're simple to me
Lord, I'm sick-Lord, I'm sick and tired
And I'm no longer silent
And I'm no longer QUIET!!
Cause I'm-I'm sick of you
Oh yeah, I'm sick of you
Yeah, Lord
Oh Lord, I'm sick and tired
No longer here
And I'm sick and tired
And I'm ready again
And I'm sick and tired
No longer here
And I'm sick and tired
And I'm ready again
And I'm sick and tired
No longer quiet
My fists are clenched and I'm ready to fight it
I'm sick and tired
No longer quiet
My fists are clenched and I'm ready to fight it
And Lord knows I'm ready to fight it all
The Lord knows I'm ready to fight it

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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/
