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”
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs and you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It's a mess out there
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my heart
When you push me back down and then pull me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It's the best, oh yeah
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my lips
When you suck me inside and you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips
It's so sweet in there
Oh, I love, love, love, love what you do to my hips
When you blow me outside and then suck me like this
I love what you do to my hips
It's the beat, oh, yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets better every day I play
With you it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets better every day I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets wetter every day I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my skin
Please slip me on and slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It's a passion, oh yeah
Oh, I love, love, love, love what you do to my bones
When you slide me up and take me home
I love what you do to my bones
It's the crush, oh, yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets hazier any way I sway
With you, it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets mazier every play I say
With you, it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets crazier every day I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to me
When you pull me upstairs and you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It's a mess out there
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my heart
When you push me back down and then pull me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It's the best, oh yeah
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my lips
When you suck me inside and you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips
It's so sweet in there
Oh, I love, love, love, love what you do to my hips
When you blow me outside and then suck me like this
I love what you do to my hips
It's the beat, oh, yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets better every day I play
With you it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets better every day I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets wetter every day I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to my skin
Please slip me on and slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It's a passion, oh yeah
Oh, I love, love, love, love what you do to my bones
When you slide me up and take me home
I love what you do to my bones
It's the crush, oh, yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets hazier any way I sway
With you, it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets mazier every play I say
With you, it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets crazier every day I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh, I love, oh, I love, oh, I love what you do to 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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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
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.
@tef I think the coolest thing about them is how they can combine the two "auras," as you describe them (perhaps a particularly appropriate term, given the rumours that RS was dropping acid a lot while working on certain albums).
