@[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.
You say you feel
The weight of the world
On your shoulders
Let go for there is
So much more before us now
Because we live in a world of space and time
The idea of an infinite being is outside
The walls of our imagination
When you accept the fact
That you can not and will not
Understand God in this life
You will understand the meaning of faith
And let go of this world.
It has come time for you
To forget everything you know
To rise up and out
Of what this world
Taught you to believe
To follow your own path
That path you dreamt up
All those years ago
And don't look back
Never turn around
Until you reach
The ends of this earth
The days are growing shorter
So take this advice forward
It will take you places
You've only dreamed you could go
Let go of everything you know
Break through the barricades
Run and don't look back
Run and never look back
Forget everything
The weight of the world
On your shoulders
Let go for there is
So much more before us now
Because we live in a world of space and time
The idea of an infinite being is outside
The walls of our imagination
When you accept the fact
That you can not and will not
Understand God in this life
You will understand the meaning of faith
And let go of this world.
It has come time for you
To forget everything you know
To rise up and out
Of what this world
Taught you to believe
To follow your own path
That path you dreamt up
All those years ago
And don't look back
Never turn around
Until you reach
The ends of this earth
The days are growing shorter
So take this advice forward
It will take you places
You've only dreamed you could go
Let go of everything you know
Break through the barricades
Run and don't look back
Run and never look back
Forget everything

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

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is so amazing, this band is like a Christian version of Misery Signals. the songs is about letting go of all the burdens of this world, and living your life freely. We're so caught up in contemplating the existence of God, but the truth is, we will never understand God's intentions or the complexities of this life. its just too much for our minds to comprehend. Letting go and detaching from all that we thought we knew is the only way to be free, and to truly flow with God. it's when we open our minds and allow God to flow through us, that we can do anything.
