The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fuck all y'all.
Here's a little story that needs to be told
About the Devil doing business in the fiery hole
Oh, yeah-yeah.
Here's a little story that's oh-so-true
About the fame and the money and the lawyers too
Oh, yeah-yeah.
There's just one thing I'll say to you:
If you're fucking me, I'm gonna fuck with you
Since all my money you're chasing
I'll find a steady replacement
Fuckin' me must've been entertainment
Nobody move, nobody gets burned
Nobody move, nobody gets burned
Nobody move, nobody gets burned
Nobody move, nobody gets burned
Oh, yeah-yeah.
Here's to all the fucking lies you told
About a rabbit in a hat that's running for the hole
Oh, yeah-yeah.
Here's to all the fucking money you make
So take your nickel back and default the rest of the take
Oh, yeah-yeah.
There's just one thing I'll say to you:

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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'

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/
This song is about people screwing other people to get their money. This song is cool, but its one of the worst songs of the album. The worst song off the album is Bait & Switch though, but its still a good song.
Does it have anything to do with the group Nickelback? They did some work with Saliva. I'm wondering if it wasn't the happiest union? e-mail response to chiffonade@hotmail.com
The story goes that Chad and Josey (from Nickelback and Saliva respectively) worked on Hero for the Spiderman 2 OST (I think it was number 2) and if my recollection is correct Josey received $300,000 while Chad received somewhere in the millions. There was something about it in Kerrang Magazine a few years back.
