The other side, the other side, the other side of me

By day I play the part in every way
Of simple, sweet, calm, and collected
Pretend, to my friends, I'm a chameleon
could make a girl feel disconnected

Feel like a star, a superhero
Sometimes its hard to separate
(Got too much on my plate)

If you could see
the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else can't you tell!
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show
The other side, the other side, I want you to see,
The other side, the other side, the other side of me

Inside, I try, to make the pieces fit right
A jigsaw puzzle everywhere,
'Cause I flip the script so many times I forget
Who's on stage, who's in the mirror

Back in the spotlight the crowd is calling
The paparazzi and the fame

(Could drive a girl insane!)

If you could see, the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show
The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side, the other side of me

Down inside I'm not that different
Like everyone I have a dream
Don't wanna hide, just wanna fit in
Sometimes it's harder then it seems

If you could see, the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key to both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If you could see (C'mon) the other side of me
I'm just like everybody else can't you tell!
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show

The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side, the other side of me
The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side of me

    This song sort of tells that Hannah/Miley wants to be known as both of her personalities. I guess... it kinda tells how she feels...

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday

@[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
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
