This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
Well the place was closing
And the countergirl turned to sign the cooks
Were gettin' their coats
And I got mine, and said good night
To the sea, of empty seats
Chorus 1:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do, I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something in
'Cause I've been under the paper you write along
You left your impression on after you'd gone on me
Marks only I can see
Chorus 2:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
(Chorus 2)
You've roused my dreams
Sailor... to him
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
Well the place was closing
And the countergirl turned to sign the cooks
Were gettin' their coats
And I got mine, and said good night
To the sea, of empty seats
Chorus 1:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do, I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something in
'Cause I've been under the paper you write along
You left your impression on after you'd gone on me
Marks only I can see
Chorus 2:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
(Chorus 2)
You've roused my dreams
Sailor... to him

Holiday

@[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 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.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
He's back and she's not completely sure she wants him?
