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.
In a universe that's infinite
Like many theorize our is
There are parallel worlds
Where every possibility lives
So a planet's somewhere out there
Their history the same as ours is written
The only difference is that everyone's a kitten
Kitty history just like ours
Kitty dinosaurs, to kitties driving cars
Kitty history somewhere in quantum space
Mathematically this had to take place
Kitty world wars and kitty mass graves
Kitty colonialism and kitty slaves
It's kitty history somewhere out in the stars!
Just like us, Kitty Colombus sailed until he saw land
But then quickly got off so he could poop in the sand
They formed the first kitty cities and kitty towns
Then they'd wake up at night just to run around
They had their own little kitty civil war
But found some string and forgot what they were fighting for
It's kitty history and it's just like ours!
Little Kitty JFK got killed by Kitty Lyndon Johnson and the CIA
Then Lyndon doubled down on Kitty Vietnam
And they bought more helicopters and kitty bombs
From a company where his wife was the main stockholder
And they made a kitty fortune 'fore the was was over
It's kitty history, cuddly planet like ours!
A little kitty at the CIA
Who helped kill Kennedy in Dallas that day
Did so darn well that his career got a push
A kitty named George H. W. Bush
He's made CIA director and Vice President's next
All while getting Kitty Saudi Arabian checks
It's kitty history, kitty's taking charge!
Kitty Bush waits his turn to ascend to his throne
Gets his cronies in power, Kitty USA overthrown
The Kitty Saudis know how he can repay his debt
So he starts a war with Iraq, their number one threat
But Kitty Sadaam is not ejected
And the very next year, Kitty George isn't re-elected
It's kitty history, kitties need a new star!
Kitty Bush gets his sons jobs as Governers
Then one steals the election for the other
New Kitty Bush has gotta finish the Saudi's mission
So he has a report made by a Comission
That says "To start a new war, as far as we can attest,
You'd need a new Kitty Pearl Harbor" and we all know the rest
It's kitty history exactly like ours!
Kitty history out in the spacetime loops
Kitty leaders and kitty banking groups
Kitty surveillance states
Kitty terrorists on kitty government pay
Come on and sing!
Six kitty companies run everything
It's kitty history somewhere out in the stars!
Like many theorize our is
There are parallel worlds
Where every possibility lives
So a planet's somewhere out there
Their history the same as ours is written
The only difference is that everyone's a kitten
Kitty history just like ours
Kitty dinosaurs, to kitties driving cars
Kitty history somewhere in quantum space
Mathematically this had to take place
Kitty world wars and kitty mass graves

@[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.

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.
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/

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.
