Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Blinded by the desert sand
And cast adrift at sea
I was walking out my front door
Thinking life might be the death of me
Not enought to keep
But still too much to throw away
I've been gone for quite some time now
But I'm coming home to stay
Now I'm done running I promise you
But until you arrive somewhere
you'll be running
you'll always be running
so stay away from me
and we can't make a home like this
when you're running
you'll always be running
so run away
run away from me
I caught a taxi out of town
And hitched the night away
I'm coming back to where I started
Please dont tell me its to late
And being lost is here and there
And its such an uphill fight
If I could just get back to you somehow
Maybe things will line up right
And now I'm done running I promise you
But until you arrive somewhere
you'll be running
you'll always be running
So stay away from me
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away
Run away from me, yeah
Your luck is good
You're riding high out on the sea
I can't be the one you fall on
I can't be the one you need
And even if you kept you word, I took the chance
Wouldn't mean a thing
No not anything
'Cause until you arrive somewhere
You'll be running
You'll always be running
Won't matter where you go
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away run away
Until you arrive somewhere
You'll be running
You'll always be running
So stay away from me
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away run away
Until you arrive somewhere
You'll be running
You'll always be running
So stay away
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away
Run away from me
And cast adrift at sea
I was walking out my front door
Thinking life might be the death of me
Not enought to keep
But still too much to throw away
I've been gone for quite some time now
But I'm coming home to stay
Now I'm done running I promise you
But until you arrive somewhere
you'll be running
you'll always be running
so stay away from me
and we can't make a home like this
when you're running
you'll always be running
so run away
run away from me
I caught a taxi out of town
And hitched the night away
I'm coming back to where I started
Please dont tell me its to late
And being lost is here and there
And its such an uphill fight
If I could just get back to you somehow
Maybe things will line up right
And now I'm done running I promise you
But until you arrive somewhere
you'll be running
you'll always be running
So stay away from me
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away
Run away from me, yeah
Your luck is good
You're riding high out on the sea
I can't be the one you fall on
I can't be the one you need

You'll be running
You'll always be running
So stay away from me
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away run away
Until you arrive somewhere
You'll be running
You'll always be running
So stay away
And we can't make a home like this
When you're running
You'll always be running
So run away
Run away from me

@[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."

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/
