@[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.
All the times I tried to steal my best for you
And I threw it up to keep it down
And watch it burn I hate the sound
I, I know just how you feel
'Cause I don't know how it ever got away
'Cause I still feel all the things I did before
When you used to need it more
Remember all the ways you fixed me?
How will you fix me now? (Yeah)
And if your ever feeling you're
Bruised and battered, always sore
And I wont tell no one
Just breathe, breathe
(Who are you now?)
And I'd rip it out if that would make you feel it more
And I know you hate to watch me pout
And tear it off and scream it out
I, I know that even though your breaking
You'll get sick and terrified
I still feel all the things I did before
When you used to need it more
Remember all the ways you fixed me?
How will you fix me now (Yeah)
And if your ever feeling you're
Bruised and battered, always sore
And I wont tell no one
Just breathe, breathe
You can have it all (You can have it all)
You can take it all (You can take it)
You can have it I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
(I don't mind at all)
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
Just take it all(x6)
You can take it all! (x5)
And if your ever feeling you're
Bruised and battered, always sore
And I wont tell no one
If you fix you
How do we fix you now?
All the things you did before
When you used to need it more
Remember all the ways you fixed us?
How do we fix this now?
And if your ever feeling your
Bruised and battered, always sore
I won't tell no one
Just breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe!
And I threw it up to keep it down
And watch it burn I hate the sound
I, I know just how you feel
'Cause I don't know how it ever got away
'Cause I still feel all the things I did before
When you used to need it more
Remember all the ways you fixed me?
How will you fix me now? (Yeah)
And if your ever feeling you're
Bruised and battered, always sore
And I wont tell no one
Just breathe, breathe
(Who are you now?)
And I'd rip it out if that would make you feel it more
And I know you hate to watch me pout
And tear it off and scream it out
I, I know that even though your breaking
You'll get sick and terrified
I still feel all the things I did before
When you used to need it more
Remember all the ways you fixed me?

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.
Gentle Hour

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'
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
"and if your ever feeling sure bruised and battered on the floor"
Hmm, I hear "and if you're ever feeling you're/bruised and battered on the floor"...
I think the rest of the lyrics are close, though. I really like this song. ^^
