@[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.
Ooh, ooh
It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to (ooh, ooh-oh)
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through (ooh, ooh-oh)
Going, coming
Thought I heard a knock (whose there? no one)
Thinking that (I deserve it)
And now I realize that I really didn't know (oh-ooh)
If you didn't notice
You mean everything (quickly, I'm learning)
To love again (all I know is)
I'ma be okay (oh ooh-oh)
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Oh yeah (it'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve too
Ooh-ooh (it'll all get better in time)
How could I turn on the TV? (no, ooh-oh)
Without somethin' that'll remind me (ooh, ooh-oh)
Was it all that easy? (ooh, ooh-oh)
To just put aside your feelings (ooh, ooh-oh)
If I'm dreamin'
Don't want to let it (hurt my feelings)
But that's the past (I believe it)
And I know that, time will heal it (ooh, ooh-oh)
If you didn't notice
Well you mean everything (quickly I'm learning)
Ooh, to love again (all I know is)
I'ma be okay (ooh, ooh-oh)
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
Oh yeah (it'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve too
Oh (it'll all get better in time)
Since there's no more you and me (no more you and me)
It's time I let you go so I can be free (ooh, ooh-oh)
And live my life how it should be (no no no, no no no)
No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
Oh, ooh-oh (it'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve too (yes I do)
(It'll all get better in time)
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
Yes (it'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
there's still love that lingers even when she knows that she can't be with him anymore for any reason. it's for her own good and she's trying to be fine with being apart from him and it hurts like hell and sometimes looking back is so tempting cause it immediately brings smiles to her face but like its start, it quickly dies after the truth flashes back in her head and she realizes that she can't do that. my god it hurts like hell and i can relate so much to this song. i miss him too. lol
