I’m central to nowhere
Thinking of sweeping it clean
When we choose to go we’re losing more than just our surroundings
I’ve gone around the sides of this universe as it stands
Outside the limits of all existence
Where light never ends

We should be grateful to the gods
Whoever they’re real to they are
I value my placement as in Hell
Remember that moment that I fell, hey hey hey.

Anything that could one day be is as real as what I’m saying
If something is nothing, it must not be something in any possible way
Lo-lo-lo-lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet
Switch below with above all the way up into infinity

We should be thankful who we are
Whether we know ourselves or not
Walking alongside myself
Neither of us listens very well

I’m dreading a time that is not near
As a man on cross I have no fear
I can’t believe these words I’m saying
You gotta feel your lines
You gotta feel your lines

(repeat...)

I’m dreading a time that is not near
As a man on cross I do not fear
I can’t believe these words I’m saying
You gotta feel your lines
You gotta feel your lines

    Sorry..this is long. I wonder if John have any affinity for the beliefs/practice of Reiki. A very good friend of mine (she's Japanese but lives here now) has studied under some of the best Reiki masters in Japan. She's anawesome person and when she first moved here she felt a strong connection to me and asked my aunt if I'd be up for getting to know her better. I was going through some awful stuffs and was doggedly persuing the recluse path(still am but life goes on) After we really met one on one, she called her Reiki master and somehow THEY were able to discuss ME on so many levels (especially karmic) I thought she was just nuts but now I don't because I see things she says are true I just didn't want to own those parts of myself. She asked me if I really wanted to shut it all down and I thought about it carefully and said, "no" because trying to do that for 20 years locked up my artistic abilities and literally almost killed me, or at least my soul. Anyway, taking the long road to the point here..John's talk about spirits, how time works (or really doesn't it's not real it's our created perception) the other dimension he speaks of and how creativity effects that place and so on..sounds EXACTLY like my friend does. Reiki isn't an end all "religion" so you can be other things, it is mostly a belief about how energy works and spirits are energy as is everything. It doesn't "go away" or is "added" it just transforms.Ahhhh...I can't explain it all here, it's so simple yet so hard to explain. But one day it hit me out of nowhere, "John sounds like Yuko!" Knowing her has given me the gift of NOT fearing for my sanity when I have out of body experiences or "feel things" about other people, or things that happened in buildings (energy's "off") or things about to happen. Reiki just accepts that stuff without big ceremony. Anyway this song, and others on the album remind me of what my friend speaks of. Has anyone else considered John and Reiki? Just curious.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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/

Blue
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.
