This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I know I wanted more than you could give to me
I know there'll come a day I understand
Until then I'll be trying to solve a mystery
Wonder why I couldn't make you stay
Smiling through denial, my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for awhile
You gave me all your secrets, were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?
Reenact your legendary tragedy
Do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery
Is there any reason I should cry?
Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, did you love me?
Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, you loved me
You loved me.
I know there'll come a day I understand
Until then I'll be trying to solve a mystery
Wonder why I couldn't make you stay
Smiling through denial, my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for awhile
You gave me all your secrets, were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?
Reenact your legendary tragedy
Do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery
Is there any reason I should cry?
Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, did you love me?
Heal, it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you, you loved me
You loved me.

@[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'
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/
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
amazing...
"smiling through denial, my specialty"
Oh my lord.. no words can explain the amazing-ness of this song.
Im so glad the lyrics finaly got posted. I acutally went to submit them but when I did someone already had put them in..
Anyways, Such a great great song. it was also featured on the OC, So it should bring Lou Barlow some attention that he deserves..
On to the meaning, I think its someone just looking back on a broken up relationship, thinking about it and although he is alright now, he still isnt fully over her. Here's a couple parts in the song which i think are amazing..
"I know you've given all that you could give to me i know there will come a day i'll understand"
The relationship was good, but then she lost what she had for you, the love just ran out? She broke up with out a real reason, making you confused..
"smiling through denial, my specialty i thought that was a good thing for a while"
I think this means, after the break up, when you put on a brave face and still kind of smile or act happy around that person, to make them think that your fine.
"you gave me all your secrets, were you testing me?" Maybe she confided things in him which she should know would hurt him, eg: telling him about relationships shes having now
"reinact your legendary tragedy and do to me what has been done to you"
Im puzzled with this part, any ideas?
"here it takes time and you gave me all you had i know in time i will believe that i loved you did you love me? you loved me" This part is straight forward and sung so beautifully.
I really hope with the popularity of the OC bringing people this song that we will get some good talkin' goin on aboot it. Its a beautiful song, if you can relate listen to it outside at night while looking at the stars... It really gets ya.
When I was listening, I was having a tough time trying to figure out between it being "Here" or "Heal" as the word before "it takes time." I could of swore it was Heal. But its all good, either one makes sense.
a beautiful song that really has meanng
i think linebacker37 is right i think it is heal. when i think about it that would make more sense... sorry i posted it wrong
Yeah, it's "Heal". They lyrics are all on Lou's homepage. loobiecore.com
ok there, fixed
