@[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.
Bad snow freeze my throat
And numbs my soul
Eats me whole to pick me up
That's where you know
Free to go
You call the Jones
Makes me old before I'm old
Its all you love
Deep inside I know you love
The less I seem to know you love
Bad snow numbs my throat
And leaves me dry leaves me dry
Leaves me barely whole
Down to the wire
Rock gone cold
You caught a cold
Like so many times before its all you love
Deep inside I go you love
The less I seem to know you love
Here now deep inside I go
Here now
And numbs my soul
Eats me whole to pick me up
That's where you know
Free to go
You call the Jones
Makes me old before I'm old
Its all you love
Deep inside I know you love
The less I seem to know you love
Bad snow numbs my throat
And leaves me dry leaves me dry
Leaves me barely whole
Down to the wire
Rock gone cold
You caught a cold
Like so many times before its all you love
Deep inside I go you love
The less I seem to know you love
Here now deep inside I go
Here now

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think that third like says "You caught a jones, makes me old before I'm old"
awesome song. very chilling... I think perhaps the guy is comparing love to a snow storm, and how he's getting lost in it. YEAH! lets give it up for love!
peace
For some reason when I listen to this song I think about a guy who's in love with a girl but she's only leading him on... He's trying to ignore the signs but he's "blinded by love" and when he does figures out he's hurt and cold. As the relationship continues it's darker as in less truthful or honest... One of my favorite songs of all times best to hear anytime of anyday. I agree with deadeyeduck it's very chilling but makes you crave to listen to it. AdanaC
True to the title, it is quite a bit darker than most of the uplifting Doves songs. It does sound like you caught a jones. Here's an alternate version, which I think works better. Oh, and there's a bit at the beginning which was missed in this version.
Bad snow freeze my throat And numbs my soul Eats me whole to pick me up Thats where you know Free to go You call the jones Makes me old before I'm old Its all you love Deep inside I know you love The less I seem to know you love
Bad snow numbs my throat And leaves me dry leaves me dry Leaves me barely whole Down to the wire Rock gone cold You caught a cold Like so many times before its all you love Deep inside I go you love The less I seem to know you love
Here now deep inside I go Here now
I'm just guessing, but it could have something to do with cocaine.
It sounds a lot like he's talking about drugs. "Snow," "jones," "freeze/numbs my throat," "leaves me dry..." Yeah... I think it's a song about drugs and addiction.
Wow, it's blasphemous that so little has been said about this song--this song wasn't the first Doves song I heard, but it was the song to get me into them. Anyway, definitely a song about drugs, I'm also guessing cocaine. No doubt about it.
This song is definitely referring to cocaine. Snow is another name for coke and the substance has numbing qualities.
