This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Don't stand so close
Don't stand so close
Don't stand so close
It's just some more of the same
Same...(echo)
Say man into my mind, the place that you know
The feelings so fast, you're stripped to the bone
Taken the time to learn what's within
The feelings so fast, I can't give in
Listen to me I'll tell you a song
Within your vowels are stripped to the bone
Taking the time to learn whats at heart
I've given it up, I'm giving you away
It's just some more of the same, you
It's just some more of a shame
Just give me someone to blame, you
Say let's have some more
Same...(echo)
Say man into the mind, the place that you know
The feelings so fast, you're stripped to the bone
Taken the time to learn what you know
The feelings so fast, I can't let go
Listen to me I'll tell you a song
Within your vowels are stripped to the bone
Taking the time to learn whats within
I've given it up, I'm giving you a name
It's just some more of the same, you
It's just some more of a shame
Just give me someone to blame, you
Say let's have some more
Say whats on in your mind, just to fake it away
Just to show I'm inside, just to turn up today
So you laugh and you learn, yeh you take what you take
Up and down in this world, rip it up in vain
I'm listening as you fall, I'm running away from you, yes I am
I see that stare and you won't fly, I see that stare in your own eye
A message left for you
Yes I am the one that's gonna let you go
Yes I am the one that's coming back for you
Yes I am the one that's gonna let you go
Yes I am the one that's coming back for you
This is why I'm here with what I have to say
This is why I'm here and [????]
This is why I'm here for you
I'm ripping up and they can't control me, you
Don't stand so close
Don't stand so close
It's just some more of the same
Same...(echo)
Say man into my mind, the place that you know
The feelings so fast, you're stripped to the bone
Taken the time to learn what's within
The feelings so fast, I can't give in
Listen to me I'll tell you a song
Within your vowels are stripped to the bone
Taking the time to learn whats at heart
I've given it up, I'm giving you away
It's just some more of the same, you
It's just some more of a shame
Just give me someone to blame, you
Say let's have some more

@[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

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
