@[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.
Every time we meet it?s always love and wine
The trees make our bathetic talk
Where cedar nouns and adverbs walk
With beetles as the backup band
The flightless cheering in their stands
The empty swing sets hushed reprise
Makes that first language thick as spies
let's relearn every vowel and phrase
And make it better than before
Let's relearn every vowel and phrase
And make it better than before
I think you know why, what to do
Rules of it are so damn cruel
I think you know what to do
The rules of it are so damn cruel
I think you know why, what to do
The rules of it are so damn cruel
Now let's make our lips an accident
On the corner of came and went
We?ll merge in gymnastic flips, spirographs
We?ll forget what the future has
We?ll take the day off, let's take the day off
Lets' take the day off, let's take the day off
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think maybe we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words
I think we all know the words

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think this song is about two people who keep falling into each other despite not being in an actual relationship. Instead of trying to move on, they "forget what the future has" - forgetting any future relationships and:
"Now lets make our lips an accident, on the corner of came and went" makes it clear along this is a physical relationship. "The rules are so cruel" is about the 'rules' of a casual hook up - it still hurts everyone's feelings, but for now they "take the day off".
And the last line, "I think we all know the words" -- they've been here before, they know what the other will say and do already and how it will end.
