This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well it seems as though
Everyone's been led astray
Far away from
From what we know
Still can't find a reason or
The right words to say
It'll be ok.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far
As the verdict falls down
You still break away.
[Chorus]
Caught up in a social degradation
You can't even see the truth
We're only half as good at personal relations
Look around and see the proof
Only a few of us go in the right direction
Even though we're singled out
It's the only thing that keeps me alive
I do what I have to do.
How was I to know
Force fed corporate trials each day
Every single day
But we must grow
Echoing the single most thing in the way.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far
As the verdict falls down
You still break away.
[Chorus]
Not slipping, drifting, falling one step further from the norm.
What is the norm?
Not living, longing, trying so much harder than before
What if I
What if I run far away?
Would I still be seen the same?
Break away.
[Chorus]
It's what I want.
Everyone's been led astray
Far away from
From what we know
Still can't find a reason or
The right words to say
It'll be ok.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far
As the verdict falls down
You still break away.
[Chorus]
Caught up in a social degradation
You can't even see the truth
We're only half as good at personal relations
Look around and see the proof
Only a few of us go in the right direction
Even though we're singled out
It's the only thing that keeps me alive
I do what I have to do.
How was I to know
Force fed corporate trials each day
Every single day
But we must grow
Echoing the single most thing in the way.
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far
As the verdict falls down
You still break away.
[Chorus]
Not slipping, drifting, falling one step further from the norm.
What is the norm?
Not living, longing, trying so much harder than before
What if I
What if I run far away?
Would I still be seen the same?
Break away.
[Chorus]
It's what I want.

@[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.

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,

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'

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/
This is a pretty good song. Its much slower than their usual songs, but its really good.
My bro just intro. Flaw to me n this is one my fav songs on the CD so far..
woooohooo flaw!
by far, my fave song by flaw...they frickin' rock!
personally, i think this song is about how he grew up. he seems to write alot of songs about his growth....he even admited it...but i think its about how people try to fit in, do whats cool, but end up following the wrong path.....and then they realize how wrong they were....but thats just me...
I think it's about the downfall of society. "Caught up in a social degradation, you can't even see the truth"
It's about how people (and companies) are only interested in themselves and screw everyone else and how this attitude has become acceptable.
