This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I walk with the crowd, alone,
Unseen, or am I imagining?
it's easy keep hiding at home
Still healing
I teach myself how to stay calm
When they wish to behold me
They may, take and divide my time
The secret, no one told me...
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes
This need I still can recognize
To swim in the oceans of vanity
Some of us enjoy the rain
Choir: and thunder
For me all the shadows are bright
I'm burning in the starlight and I
Hope to feel light as a kite
And fly towards the twilight of my life
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes
And now they
have disappointed my broken heart
I'm dancing, they're demanding
The unknown and innocent days are gone
Taken without asking
Safe, further away,
I'll disappear like a mountain without a trace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide.
"They live like the vultures, for a filthy anecdote
They go thru my bones to find just one odd note
I welcomed them kindly, thus they have the right
To leave me in darkness with my shattered heart"
A face of a newly wedded clown
Doesn't offer you the high
Now you're lower than the poor souls you feed
Built the walls out of silence
I will not be taken there anymore
What is wrong with your eyes?
Sad for the right reasons?
I'll show you the ashes of life
No empathy behind your eyes
Sleeping like an angel every night
I don't feel Safe,
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide.
Safe, further away,
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
Once the time finally comes
Will they dig me up from my unmarked grave?
Unseen, or am I imagining?
it's easy keep hiding at home
Still healing
I teach myself how to stay calm
When they wish to behold me
They may, take and divide my time
The secret, no one told me...
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes
This need I still can recognize
To swim in the oceans of vanity
Some of us enjoy the rain
Choir: and thunder
For me all the shadows are bright
I'm burning in the starlight and I
Hope to feel light as a kite
And fly towards the twilight of my life
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes
And now they
have disappointed my broken heart
I'm dancing, they're demanding
The unknown and innocent days are gone
Taken without asking
Safe, further away,
I'll disappear like a mountain without a trace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide.
"They live like the vultures, for a filthy anecdote
They go thru my bones to find just one odd note
I welcomed them kindly, thus they have the right
To leave me in darkness with my shattered heart"
A face of a newly wedded clown

Now you're lower than the poor souls you feed
Built the walls out of silence

I'll show you the ashes of life
No empathy behind your eyes
Sleeping like an angel every night
I don't feel Safe,
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide.
Safe, further away,
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
Once the time finally comes
Will they dig me up from my unmarked grave?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/
Hmm..I have to say I never would have interpreted this song as being about Tony and about the fans, etc. To me, it is about the people of his past who have hurt him and who cannot just be forgotten, no matter how far he tries to run away. He feels like he can't escape the past.
