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.
[Verse 1: Ms Jade]
I don't know if it's this drink or what
That got me thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts
About touchin myself and wantin myself
Lovin' myself, that's so nasty
I wonder what would happen if I didn't have me
Probably'll wake up satisfied and energized
The co-founder of do-it-yourself renaissance
Girl interrupted in Southern Hummingbird
Ms. Jade and Tweet 'bout to show you how a woman work
[Verse 2: Tweet]
Perfect start, Oooh,
It was smooth sailin, Oh
I played my part, Oooo
In this here relation, Oh
I was blind, Oooh
But I had new visions, Oh
It's my time man it's me you'll be missing
Come on
[Chorus:]
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, tellin me to go for 'self
And knowin me I gotta trust myself
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, I just gotta love myself
Love myself
[Verse 3:]
Taught my heart, Oooh
To reduce it's given, Oh
Play it smart, Oooh
And make sure that I'm listenin, Oh
With love lost, Oooh
And it looks real steady, Oh
I'd give my all, man I'm gonna be ready
[Chorus:]
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, tellin me to go for 'self
And knowin me I gotta trust myself
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, I just gotta love myself
Love myself
[Verse 4: Ms. Jade]
Now I ain't never been the freaky chick
But I'm feeling kind of twisted
My shirt is lifted, all up over my head
I'm slippin, phone is ringing, heart is beatin
Lovin what I'm seein, lookin at myself in mirror
Tell me what's the reason
I'm looking to my left and lookin to my right
Now I'm focused on myself again
I know this shit is right
And the pressure keeps callin me
Oops my skirts gone caressin my skin
It's 3 in the morning
I keep on stallin, never did this before
I'm a grown ass lady so what am I drawing for
Give what I can give basically that's what it is
Lights off, flipping the sheets, handle my biz, uh
[Chorus:]
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, tellin me to go for 'self
And knowin me I gotta trust myself
Ooooo, what is this feeling
It's more than sexual healing
Ooooo, I just gotta love myself
Love myself

@[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/
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
