@[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 look outside my window
everything was blanketed in white.
The neighbors pushing cars
Out from snow that fell on us last night.
I started thinking
Bout the things we used to do when we were young.
Back when things were simple
getting up was fun.
I couldn't care cuz I'm already there.
I'm already there and I'm ready there.
Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch as time went hoppin' by.
I'm still growing up,
My friends are growing old before my eyes.
Count the stars above,
Wonder when the heavens will subside.
Knowing our two worlds,
Will someday just collide.
Just a boy who's young at heart,
His smile was a bit like yours today.
Had a wife, a kid, some strife,
Never had to go astray.
Happiness evolved,
Life was in full swing,
At 17, all the things he wanted,
were things he'd never seen.
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there.
I'm already there, and I'm ready there.

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'
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/

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Im not sure what this song is about, but it still does something for me. It's a great song.
I think this song is about wondering where your life goes. As a kid you always think about what its gonna be like when you're an adult and you're so concerned with growing up you don't enjoy youth as you should. This song is saying how he's grown up "He's already there" and its just like yesterday that he wasnt.
sounds like the childhood of someone and how it has changed and this song title is also good for the band lonestar i like it alot because it was the first dance with my g/f and thats why i know the title of another song called already there

haha this song's better than lonestar's "already there"..sorry bornonaugust10th..prob didn't dance to this one
The song is about growing up too fast, and not the kind of too fast where you have so many responsibilities at a young age, the kind of too fast where it all flew by very quickly and you're looking back at your whole life so far and wondering how it could have gone by as fast as it did.
I can relate to this song as I'm sure MANY people can. Have you ever sat around and thought about when you were younger? And all things you used to do with all your friends? I know I have. I'm 20 now, and honestly, I can't believe how fast 20 years has gone by, it literally feels like a blink of an eye now. And like how it says in the song, things were simpler back then, and getting up was fun because you didn't have responsibilities when you younger, life was so easy.
