@[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.
Your flirt finds me out
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe) x3
(possibly maybe)
As much as I definitely enjoy solitudes
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes
Sometimes
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe)
Probably love (possibly) x2
Un-cer-tain-ty ex-cites me, baby
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you join a cult
Probably maybe (possibly maybe)
Possibly love (possibly)
He says probably maybe (possibly maybe)
Possibly love (possibly)
Mon petit volcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring your lava
I keep calm
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe)
Probably love (possibly)
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe)
Probably love
Electric shocks?
I love them!
With you dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe)
Probably love (possibly, possibly)
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe)
Probably love (possibly)
How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burnt
How can you offer mer love like that?
I'm exhaused
Leave me alone
Possibly maybe (possibly maybe) x3
Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
In remembrance of you...
(possibly maybe) Possibly maybe x2

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
the song definatly has a sexual over tone.
"Electric shocks? I love them! With you dozen a day But after a while I wonder Where's that love you promised me?"
while at work i was getting the little electric shocks from someone i am close to. maybe its love.. maybe its not.
i guess this line stuck out for me for the fact that, this person did tease me on all levels. and then i started to be complacent with the "spiritual" aspect, like this person affects me so much that my body feels them even when they are not there. so being carried away so far beyond, sex, or having sex used as a way of taming my beast.
so i was being satified by getting just the tingles from this person, and this person was promising love, but i did not see it or feel it. they wanted me to only love on their own conditions. thats not love, how could they offer me a love like that. one where i am forever in the lacking.
my female sexuality became burnt, the more burnt/ hurt i felt the more hyper femmine i became to compansate, to feel in power. a whore if you will.
"Since we broke up I'm using lipstick again I'll suck my tongue As a remembrance of you... "
to feel as though i had power over my sexuality and no one else. thanks for reading. hope i made sense.
Anyone know what "mon petit vulcan" means?! x___x i can't find "vulcan" in any french dictionary so i'm forced to believe it's a Star Trek reference! xD
ummm....you know this is going to sound odd, but...I believe she is talking about her sexual relationship with her lover. Let me explain before you think I'm some dirty pervert.
"Your flirt finds me out Teases the crack in me " Umm, yes. Well, her lover is using forplay and is teasing her. Which basically means he's teasing her vagina....her crack. Yes, i told you this was going to be dirty.
"Mon petit vulcan You're eruptions and disasters I keep calm Admiring the lava" Well, guys, this is about his erection and the ejaculation and how she is admiring it while still remaining calm as he's getting off during sex.
"Electric shocks? I love them! With you dozen a day But after a while I wonder Where's that love you promised me?" Notice this line follows the man's orgasm line and then she starts taking about her own...her electric shock. But as she continues to explain, the relationship starts out with lots of sex but slowly begins to subside as the newness of it fades and she's dissapointed because he probably promised to love her with the same amount of passion forever.
Anywho, i know that's a twisted perspective as apposed to the other posted. But a friend of mine, who is the biggest Bjork freak I've ever met, told me that most of her songs are all sexual references. Soo....I guess you can make of it what you will.
Sorry, if I ruined the song for anyone.
I agree with Prisoner.I.Was I think that the guy in the song promised her love but the relationship turned out to be just about sex. So she's basically saying: "this was a lot of fun but now i want to get serious, i don't like this kind of relationship".
She sums it up in this verse:
Electric shocks? I love them! With you dozen a day But after a while I wonder Where's that love you promised me?
She enjoyed the sex, but she wants more than that.
Electric shocks? I love them! With you dozen a day !! brillant lyrics. i like the modem sounds in the bkground.
I was listening this song, and suddenly realized that this song tells about my life, my situation..great lyrics,my life.
ahm, yes, Hantta, mine too. Bjork's great.
Doveluv that is the best and probably most accurate intermpretation of that song. Thank you
yes, that interpretation is pretty damn good, I must say.
