@[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.
Words, these words of freedom
A bequest, never to be silenced
In this world of lies, the truth, it means resistance
To make the masses see and sense their needs
He healed so many aching hearts and wounds
And threw back the baseness, back to where it came from
Aspired from the middle of his brothers
Charged this suffering and oppression
One single voice became a storm
His words and melodies, the weapon they fear
Threw back the baseness, back from where it came
Nobody is chosen to suffer
Nobody is destined to rule
Gagged his mouth but not his songs, the songs we sing
Fettered his hands but not the words he wrote
These songs we'll sing!
A bequest, never to be silenced
In this world of lies, the truth, it means resistance
To make the masses see and sense their needs
He healed so many aching hearts and wounds
And threw back the baseness, back to where it came from
Aspired from the middle of his brothers
Charged this suffering and oppression
One single voice became a storm
His words and melodies, the weapon they fear
Threw back the baseness, back from where it came
Nobody is chosen to suffer
Nobody is destined to rule
Gagged his mouth but not his songs, the songs we sing
Fettered his hands but not the words he wrote
These songs we'll sing!

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'

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song's about Victor Jara..
Victor Jara was a singer from Chile. He was a supporter of Salvador Allende, who was murdered by the troops of general Pinochet during the military coup in 1973. During the days of the military coup, many people got kidnapped and were brought to the national football stadium of Santiago de Chile. Thousands of people got executed there, so in September 1973, Victor Jara, was also brought to that stadium. When he arrived, he started to play on a guitar and was singing. The watchmen wanted to stop him doing that, but they couldn't so they hacked his hands... Not even that could stop him, he continued singing and screaming until hundreds of bullets killed him. Pinochet's troops were aware that Jara could reach the heart of the people with his words and songs. They were afraid of him and his ability to reach the people. They thought that it would help if they would kill him, but they were wrong! After his death, Jara became a martyr...just like Salvador Allende! They both became symbols for the resistance against this fascist dictatorship in Chile. The militaries could kill the people but not their ideals...
can't you read?
wtf are YOU talking about?

It IS true. The lyric sheet even has one more line after "These songs we'll sing" - it says: >> "Silence and screams are the end of my song." Victor Jara
