@[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.
Contradict this settlement, cause in droves we'll settle this,
over and under and in between thoughts.
This is just not me, at this point you see, we are finally satisfactory.
Over and under and in between thoughts.
(Red on the walls)
I'm drowning in her scent!
(Ceiling to floor)
The words you said are dead to me,
I'll get the last laugh you'll see!!!
(Red on the walls)
I'm drowning in her scent!
(Ceiling to floor)
The words you said are dead!
Catastrophic at the least, in her eyes i'm trying to be,
reading and writing and finding myself.
Counter-action is relaxation to reload stations has blown my patience the ramifications infatuating these words!!!

I've made up my mind...
Wait for all of time!!!
I've made up my mind...
Pick up the pieces.
All of this time you were walking away,
super-imposed in this land of decay...
over and under and in between thoughts.

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/
Punchline

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.
Head > Heels

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.
I love this song. It's really the song that got me into Fall of Troy.
Anywus, umm, well, you guys know the whole story about the crew and stuff.
I don't know, I guess we can just wait till the Ghostship LP with the 3 or 4 other tracks to really get the whole story.
i totally agree man! totally! right on!
i dont get the meaning
It's amazing how much the bass stands out in this song. You can actually hear it better than the guitar during most of the song.
I think this one is about the one remaining crew member who makes it home and he's finding himself in a land of decay and finding himself and picking up the pieces of his life.
i like the little techno part
Yeah, I totally agree with Herald. I also think that when he returns home he might have found his wife with another man, and murders her. (Red on the walls, I'm drowning in her scent, ceiling to floor. The words you said are dead to me. I'll get the last laugh you'll see.). After all the things he's experienced out at see he really doesn't care about anything. After he kills her he just wanders around, and his life is meaningless and in decay.
That's just what I think about this song, it seems reasonable to me.
This is my favorite of the Ghostships.
best ghostship (and maybe ever song) they've done. i love how he screams the chorus.
I always thought that the line
"I've made up my mind..."
Was
"I made it up all along!"
