Lift me up
Lift me up
Put me above jail
But put me below skies, below crimson skies

Undress me from these rags
Shake me and watch me glow
Foundations cracking under the wisdom of our steps

Lift me up and shake me low
Shake and glow and life will be saved

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won´t be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war
Wisdom and war

Braided veins
Can turn to gold
Smoke and stone
Will claim the skies and open all whose eyes are blind
The tempter is behind thee, and cowers through the throes
The sands that drank from blood, to rivers that flow beyond

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won´t be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won´t be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war

Deplete the eyes
Walk through the skies
In the memories of old
We´ll blow it all away

Time is mine, ignore the blind
It won´t be long till the writing is gone
And time will fly
The tied hands of man and you will understand through the pains of rebirth
Time is mine, the choking of seas
I won´t be wrong when the scriptures are gone
And time will fly
A burden on life lifted high and precisely through wisdom and war

Holiday

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
