@[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 sing for me my friend,
Brave and confident,
And there is comfort between your breaths,
And I use sense to help.
But when the days beneath me,
Scream into my present,
I must always run the race on my own.
Your warmth is in my bed,
Your voice above the stairs,
And then the touching that comes regret,
Becomes my mercy chair.
Even when the sun is burning,
Saving graces,
I must always run the race on my own.
Oh the sinking and the scent,
Of every saving word.
And the destruction of all convention,
And all corrupted thought.
Dig their nails into my art
And instinct shows,
I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.
Brave and confident,
And there is comfort between your breaths,
And I use sense to help.
But when the days beneath me,
Scream into my present,
I must always run the race on my own.
Your warmth is in my bed,
Your voice above the stairs,
And then the touching that comes regret,
Becomes my mercy chair.
Even when the sun is burning,
Saving graces,
I must always run the race on my own.
Oh the sinking and the scent,
Of every saving word.
And the destruction of all convention,
And all corrupted thought.
Dig their nails into my art
And instinct shows,
I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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

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
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.
I think this maybe a regress towards an ex.
But when the days beneath me, scream into my present (Here he thinks back to the past too much, to when they were together)
And then the touching becomes regret (Once they were close, now he regrets letting himself fall so hard for her/him)
And the destruction of all convention, and all corrupted thought (There is no longer the conventional relationship and his view has become poisoned by what's happened)
Dig their nails into my optimistic shell (He's now left bitter, and so negative. He's very down) I must always run the race on my own (He never wants a relationship like that ever again)
