@[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.
Sweet little baby,
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here
He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day
I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight
Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight
And when your man don't care
I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love
So baby now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is no wrong or right
We'll burn with love
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is nothing left to do
But make sweet love to you
Come on and Rock me
You don't have to go
Little baby

We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Great White is my all-time favorite band, period! The lyrics are actually, "Rock Me, Rock Me, Roll Me Through the Night."
This song is kinda strange because the situation is clearly about talking an unavailable woman into bed, but it comes off mostly like begging. Geez, the song is over seven minutes long and, even at the end, we're never really sure if he scored (LOL).
I agree with TabuuDi26's comment: "80s GLAM FOREVER!" While ScottBoy79, MMCammbells, and MagicBlue22 are correct that Great White were never "glam metal" nor "glam rock," Traveler in Stygian is correct that GW is in the same category as the bona fide glam bands, and c'mon, "glam" sounds so much better than "hair band."
But it rocks,and seriously is there anything else?
