@[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 is a question of the human
Race will this planet remain in
Space two world leaders get
In a fight we'll all be gone
In a flash of light
When I die for my country
I'll take no part in the destruction
From World War III
I have no answer not my
Decision and if I spoke no one
Would listen is this the end
Of history, why should I care
Why should I worry
When we die for our country
We'll take no part in the destruction
From World War III
Race will this planet remain in
Space two world leaders get
In a fight we'll all be gone
In a flash of light
When I die for my country
I'll take no part in the destruction
From World War III
I have no answer not my
Decision and if I spoke no one
Would listen is this the end
Of history, why should I care
Why should I worry
When we die for our country
We'll take no part in the destruction
From World War III

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'

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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
---Stoneface---You don't know what you're talking about. Have you ever seen Unwritten law when they still had John Bell???
I don't think you fully realize the insane amount of energy UL harnessed in those early days.
My first exposure to UL was in 93' At the old SOMA in downtown San Diego. I went to see headliners Green Day but Unwritten Law stole the show. They played songs like WWIII, Kill to Breathe, Tribute, Superficial Society, Driven, I Will Refuse, Obsession...etc......That was the REAL Unwritten Law!!!!!!
I was blown away to find out that they were from my little neighborhood. (Poway/PQ)I bought their 6 song demo cassette (it came in a funky little plastic case) For the next 7 years I never missed 1 show (in SD)
I'm not bragging or claiming to be cool because of this, I'm simply stating that I've had a pretty damn good perspective on the evolution of UL.
For you to claim that there was no huge change between John Bell and PK is completely ridiculous. It's hard to compare Bell to anyone from the Blue Room Recording alone because it cost almost nothing to make in a hole in a wall studio on an almost bankrupt record label. (It's still my favorite though)
You would have had to have seen them live back in the day to get an accurate comparison. They lost a step when they started watering down their live set with newer slower happier songs around 98'.
Don't get me wrong, I was still really into their music, they just weren't the same. They became better songwriters. They still put on an awesome show. I still bought their CDs and enjoyed every bit of their new music. But it was a huuuge difference.
I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I respect that.
It's too bad Unwritten Law is dead now. They died to me the day Wade left the band. Wade was the heart and soul of Unwritten Law. And now that Rob Brewer has left the band I refuse to even give the new stuff a chance.
It has nothing to do with selling out, Scott Russo's bank account has nothing to do with my opinion of his new band. There mourning CD is hollowed out cookie cutter boring bullshit that they are trying to pass off as Unwritten Law. I almost broke down in tears when I heard him singin about dancing on the radio one day.\
I do realize that I am about 4 years too late for this argument. But I'm sure someone will read this.
A few years ago I found a crappy live recording of "I will Refuse." Oh man!!! That brought back soooooooo many memories. I haven't seen them play that live since at least 94'
Cheers!
