In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Devastate leave them weeping in your wake
A family's broken dreams with gloved hand I separate
Mutilate them carve them up bring them to their knees
The powers of a knife at hand if it breathes it fucking bleeds
Mankind end time disgusted with this race
I pluck them from the universe pawns in my favorite game
Cut them all down completely randomized
Never a clue nor a trace is left identity disguised
I measure joy in suffering with a rope and blade I maim
Humiliate these fallen souls this earth of sick disgrace
Climactic degradation rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race I'll make them bleed for me
I'm taking you down with me into this hell of hells
Stabbed in the throat sputtering blood
My need is never quelled you must stand here before me
My judgement ends in death I stand above your broken bodies face speckled in red
How sweet it is to revel in your flesh I won't stop until the last is dead
Climactic degradation rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race I'll make them bleed for me
A family's broken dreams with gloved hand I separate
Mutilate them carve them up bring them to their knees
The powers of a knife at hand if it breathes it fucking bleeds
Mankind end time disgusted with this race
I pluck them from the universe pawns in my favorite game
Cut them all down completely randomized
Never a clue nor a trace is left identity disguised
I measure joy in suffering with a rope and blade I maim
Humiliate these fallen souls this earth of sick disgrace
Climactic degradation rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race I'll make them bleed for me
I'm taking you down with me into this hell of hells
Stabbed in the throat sputtering blood
My need is never quelled you must stand here before me
My judgement ends in death I stand above your broken bodies face speckled in red
How sweet it is to revel in your flesh I won't stop until the last is dead
Climactic degradation rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race I'll make them bleed for me

@[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.

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.
really catchy, like REALLY!
