@[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.
Hey you, in the middle of the night with the lights on
Do you believe that you could love?
Hey you, with your head up in the clouds and your eyes closed
Did you ever think we'd grow?
Hey you, throwing everything away just to save face
And the silence of it shows
Hey you, you can wish it all away in a heartbeat
But is it free, is it free, is it free, free, free, free?
Don't you stop everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I say to you, "Would you ever want to walk
Away from here if you really loved?"
Believe now whatever you want to believe
But you can't believe a word
I said, "I can't believe a word"
Hey you, still silence in the eyes of the idols
Did we believe that you could know?
Hey you, doing everything you can just to blend in
What was there to show?
One day, we are never [Incomprehensible] when it's over
Until I raise my hand
Hey you, you could never know your way like you wanted
Just set us free, us free, us free, free, free, free
Don't you stop, everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I said, "I can't believe a word"
Don't you stop, everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I say to you, would you ever want to walk
Away from here if you really loved?
Believe now whatever you want to believe
But you can't believe a word
I said, "I can't believe a word"
Do you believe that you could love?
Hey you, with your head up in the clouds and your eyes closed
Did you ever think we'd grow?
Hey you, throwing everything away just to save face
And the silence of it shows
Hey you, you can wish it all away in a heartbeat
But is it free, is it free, is it free, free, free, free?
Don't you stop everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I say to you, "Would you ever want to walk
Away from here if you really loved?"
Believe now whatever you want to believe
But you can't believe a word
I said, "I can't believe a word"
Hey you, still silence in the eyes of the idols
Did we believe that you could know?
Hey you, doing everything you can just to blend in
What was there to show?
One day, we are never [Incomprehensible] when it's over
Until I raise my hand
Hey you, you could never know your way like you wanted
Just set us free, us free, us free, free, free, free
Don't you stop, everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I said, "I can't believe a word"
Don't you stop, everybody wants you
But you can't say no if you even try
What you see inside if you could believe it
But you can't believe a single word
I say to you, would you ever want to walk
Away from here if you really loved?
Believe now whatever you want to believe
But you can't believe a word
I said, "I can't believe a word"

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i'm with musicfreak....not sure, but seems like its about a bitter breakup...i tend to think that something DID happen though because "say to you Would you ever want to Walk away from here If you really loved" the rest of the chorus hints at some securities, cheating or other. I can relate to this scenario, which is probably why i see it this way. Especially "Hey you, throwing everything away just to save face And the silence of it shows Hey you, you can wish it all away in a heartbeat But is it free, is it free, is it free free free free" = to me breaking up so as to not get inevitably hurt, silence...but love doesn't go away that easily.
