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.
It's under crimson skies hell's horizon
Our trap will spring
Unaware of our presence they'll be marching
Straight to their doom
We are prepared for war ready to fire
Stand by to charge
Counting down as they march into destruction
Their time has come
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Leading them straight into hell
They will not live to tell the tale
We'll strike at dusk and fight 'til dawn
Tonight our foe is bound to fail
Our time is now all ready at arms
Upon our chosen ground dead men marching
No sign of hope
Victory will be ours before the dawn breaks
Tonight we charge
Chaos and disorder sound of the attack
Charging down the mountain frontal assault
Guns light up the darkness mortars rip the ground
Like a force of nature shaking the field
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Cut off retreat
Released
Unleashed
The beast within berserker rage is
Released
Unleashed
A storm a force unbreakable war machine
Victims of the ambush
Stains the ground with blood
Fields of execution murderous plan
Soldiers turn to madmen in the dead of night
Fighting with a fury fiery eyes
Our trap will spring
Unaware of our presence they'll be marching
Straight to their doom
We are prepared for war ready to fire
Stand by to charge
Counting down as they march into destruction
Their time has come
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Leading them straight into hell
They will not live to tell the tale
We'll strike at dusk and fight 'til dawn
Tonight our foe is bound to fail
Our time is now all ready at arms
Upon our chosen ground dead men marching
No sign of hope
Victory will be ours before the dawn breaks
Tonight we charge
Chaos and disorder sound of the attack
Charging down the mountain frontal assault
Guns light up the darkness mortars rip the ground
Like a force of nature shaking the field
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Cut off retreat
Released
Unleashed
The beast within berserker rage is
Released
Unleashed
A storm a force unbreakable war machine
Victims of the ambush
Stains the ground with blood
Fields of execution murderous plan
Soldiers turn to madmen in the dead of night
Fighting with a fury fiery eyes

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

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.
I have mostly heard this is about the Partisans and Russian Resistance Durring WW2. But i also hear its just about all Resistance and guerrilla warfare (Cuba. Vietnam. Russia Etc)
this song is about no spific battlefield or conflict its self, merely the art of the ambush in and of its self. JROTC finally pays off for a band to understand the lyrics.
I always imagined this was about the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, when Germanic troops ambushed and wiped out three Roman legions, with the line "Unbreakable war machine" delivered sarcastically.
In my opinion it is about wars of finland and soviet union. Finland never got captured or breaked as conparsion of armies 1 to 10. Also russians were driven on traps and killed.
This song is about the Yugoslav partisans in WW2.
