@[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, oh you
Had a sad urge to be wanted by fools
Welcoming those that would be
Snoopin' troupin' enveloping your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
Cause deep down you knew, I knew, you knew, I knew
That I'd have been wrong quicker than you could come
Said I was too good for you
Wake up little Susie
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry
You split the beans in jail
Timed it perfectly after your granny died (tut tut tut)
You knew I wouldn't shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut-up heart
Such a vulnerable time, you tell me
I'm so lonely
Won't you hold me
Stars shine only
Up it's only light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time
Long time
With time, time
Stars of love look bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their lives
Staring at the sky
Now it's time
Bury the hatchet
And bury it deep
You've a massive heart
But you're fucked up, kid
And we sow what we reap
Woah, cause we grew up as solitary souls
Sometimes it's better to be on your own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find a place I can call home
Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can still see it shine
But it's only old light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time
Time
With time, time
Stars of love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their lives
Staring at the sky
Oh, it is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across the velvet nights
Burn bright till they die
The love lights in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
Had a sad urge to be wanted by fools
Welcoming those that would be
Snoopin' troupin' enveloping your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
Cause deep down you knew, I knew, you knew, I knew
That I'd have been wrong quicker than you could come
Said I was too good for you
Wake up little Susie
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry
You split the beans in jail
Timed it perfectly after your granny died (tut tut tut)
You knew I wouldn't shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut-up heart
Such a vulnerable time, you tell me
I'm so lonely
Won't you hold me
Stars shine only
Up it's only light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time
Long time
With time, time
Stars of love look bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their lives
Staring at the sky
Now it's time
Bury the hatchet
And bury it deep
You've a massive heart
But you're fucked up, kid
And we sow what we reap
Woah, cause we grew up as solitary souls
Sometimes it's better to be on your own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find a place I can call home
Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can still see it shine
But it's only old light
Old light, it's been dead for a long time
Time
With time, time
Stars of love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their lives
Staring at the sky
Oh, it is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across the velvet nights
Burn bright till they die
The love lights in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
the first paragraph is about faking personality to be accepted, the second one is about faking vulnerability to avoid break-up, the stars look bright part seems tu talk about love being able to die a t any moment then she finally breaks up with the guy, because he can't stop faking so the song is about breaking up with sb, because he/she can't have a real relationship just because he/she doesn't know that the two parts must agree, so the singer faces he/she, and talks about the issues to work, and his/her responsibility then the singer predicts that he/she won't be able to recover, as in the part of looking up to the sky
