Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I'm safe, and who ever thought that I was difficult
My nerves start to feel so frayed
I'll try to turn things around, but instead
I'll say "Why do I feel so invisible
Good things will come my way"
I'll try to turn things around, and I wait
'Till the day when I stop making big mistakes
And the clouds, they roll out of this whole damn state
I believe in a place that I want to go
Honesty will leave me feeling livable
Once I change
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
Irate, caught in the worst storm inside of me
Words start to feel misplaced
You can change what you want with your pen
I pray, as things start to feel much more possible
This time, I'll know what to say
You can live how you want in these days
When the way that you talk makes up history
It's important to know why you clench your teeth
I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
With a shift in a sound that is physical
Know I'll change
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life and how it stayed inside my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin
Now I've relied on that I've changed
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life, I just want it to die
It must have stayed inside of my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin
My nerves start to feel so frayed
I'll try to turn things around, but instead
I'll say "Why do I feel so invisible
Good things will come my way"
I'll try to turn things around, and I wait
'Till the day when I stop making big mistakes
And the clouds, they roll out of this whole damn state
I believe in a place that I want to go
Honesty will leave me feeling livable
Once I change
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
Irate, caught in the worst storm inside of me
Words start to feel misplaced
You can change what you want with your pen
I pray, as things start to feel much more possible
This time, I'll know what to say
You can live how you want in these days
When the way that you talk makes up history
It's important to know why you clench your teeth
I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
With a shift in a sound that is physical
Know I'll change
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life and how it stayed inside my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin
Now I've relied on that I've changed
Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life, I just want it to die
It must have stayed inside of my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin

@[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.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
sweet song
i feel like he's singing about trying to take the pain inside of him and write about it in a way that he never has before, and once he finds the time to think it all through and put it into the right words then he can change for the better. and he doesn't have to have it weighing him down anymore
