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.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet

@[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 is my favorite song from tommy. when taken in the context of the album and the opera, i don't think it has anything to do with a band or the band. it is tommy speaking to his followers and them speaking back about what he makes them feel. just my two cents...
I get the message of the song in the context of "Tommy" but seperated from the rock opera whenever I hear the "See me Feel me" part I can't help thinking about the ressurected Jesus and " Doubting Thomas". I guess that's what 8 years of Catholic grammar school does to you.
I would really like to have the artists interpretation. My interpretation is that it's Jesus after arising and telling his disciples that it's really him. He shows them his scares. From the nails and others on his side and tells them to touch them. He initially says see me. Then says feel me. Then says touch me.
What are you talking about??
hey EmporerEzekeil, i hate you.
This is a really good song.....i've only heard it on the Woodstock Soundtrack LP set, but i like the wat it fades in from "Wooden Ships" to "See Me, Feel Me" if you haven't heard it it is a nice deep guitar bit and the lyrics go "We foresake you, gonna rape you, won't forget you.....very nice.
If you like this song, you should really check out the live version of woodstock, and at isle of wight.. great shows...
according to Roger... Woodstock was the worst show The Who Ever played.
I agree,This live at woodstock is powerful stuff
Of course Acevans is right. I'd never thought about how the opening lyrics might sound to someone who doesn't connect it to tbe rock opera, "Tommy". Great song.
This song is a prayer, same with bargain... Petes spiritually, the whole Meher Baba thing. look at the words and try and contradict me
@Stutteringpunk Totally a pure Baba song, retrofitted to the Tommy story. People who are not Baba lovers can also think of Jesus (an avatar, like Baba) or the sun. The millions right behind Baba has still not quite materialised I think...
This song is about the sun. Tommy wakes up after being knocked out for the whole night after the riots at the camp, and before he wakes up, the see me feel me part is what he hears, and the first thing he sees is the sun. Following you, I climb the mountains. If you try to run to the sun and follow it, you're gonna climb some mountains on the way
I really enjoy Tommy, both the rock opera and the movie. The story really speaks to me on a personal level. Much like Tommy, I feel like I've been blind, deaf, and dumb in a sense for much of my life, but now I feel free! As for the last song, I'm not quite sure if I understand it, but my interpretation is that Tommy finally becomes enlightened when he wanders under the waterfall, where I believe he was conceived.
