@[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.
Trapped in a gaze where time stand still
Connected to a blur sensations deformed
We are to drown just to become
Another set of eyes among the millions
Enchanted we fade selecting illusions
Dwellers of the scene a new world obsessed
Gods of displays divine screens
Radiate us now your blessing
Down kneel to shields of glass
To the sovereign
Bleed for the entity of wavelengths
Transfixed yet eyes glowing with delight
Delusions of omniscience bred us by liars
Mentally drained by the growing leech
Fed on our manic desire
Oceans of sewage continual
Washing into our minds
Drowning in wasted integrity
With eyes too open to see vanity
Engulfed in super fiction fields
What are we when the false pictures
Dissolve
Caged within a twilight world
Devoid of own self made thoughts
Stare blind...
Connected to a blur sensations deformed
We are to drown just to become
Another set of eyes among the millions
Enchanted we fade selecting illusions
Dwellers of the scene a new world obsessed
Gods of displays divine screens
Radiate us now your blessing
Down kneel to shields of glass
To the sovereign
Bleed for the entity of wavelengths
Transfixed yet eyes glowing with delight
Delusions of omniscience bred us by liars
Mentally drained by the growing leech
Fed on our manic desire
Oceans of sewage continual
Washing into our minds
Drowning in wasted integrity
With eyes too open to see vanity
Engulfed in super fiction fields
What are we when the false pictures
Dissolve
Caged within a twilight world
Devoid of own self made thoughts
Stare blind...

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this is quite obviously about the modern veneration of television, when all it is is just meaningless pictures that "mentally drain' us.
exactly. were losing ourselves, colluding in our doom, fixed in a hypnoidal twilight state. The music and tone of meshuggah is very mechanical, so it only goes that its about humans becoming helpless, oblivious and mechanically indifferent to life.
Since I heard the song and saw the video I felt that the meaning is to describe of how hard is sometimes to deal with the propaganda of no only television but markenting and journalism who sometimes tries to make us see a totally lies of things, to believe and surrender to that current.
I love that song and the video is simply brutal.
