The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday

@[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
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.
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.
English translation:
Whether you keep going or turn back Come on, I'll let you pass Because no matter where you go You'll still be trapped in the antlion's pit...
On the bleached cotton of your white coat Is a map stained with blood I want to follow it and take advantage of your weaknesses
Tear your scaled armor into 100 pieces And let us go now To die glorious deaths with these verdigris petals
Swearing loyalty to love And then committing seppuku in betrayal The ones below overcome the ones above And soon, I will be divided Into the appearance of tragedy, a princess going insane!
As you hide in the corridor The bloody ceiling pulls on your shadow And the same nightmares drip down into this place
It doesn't matter whether we win or lose this war called love You and I are alone and have no choice but to be alone
Accepting the sanctions of love And then asking for a suicide assistant when in pain Whether sleeping or awakening, these times are chaotic And soon, you will be overthrown As I shoot crimson lotuses at you From this dark castle tower!
Just this once, will you please die?
In this war called love It doesn't matter whether you live or die Or even how much you are stabbed Or even the way that you're hit And even these dying breaths Will still not be enough to blame me with
The bronze mirror that is joined together with love Is reflecting a divine beast If I commit a double suicide with you We can help each other out in the Pure Land As a couple journeying to the sunny realm of the dead!
Once again, will you please die?
Whether you keep going or turn back I'll still let you pass Because no matter where you go You'll always be trapped in the antlion's pit...
