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”
And I've been walking in circles and squares
And circles again
Kept chasing my tail
It would help if I knew where it ends
And life in a coma
Could be quite fun
And I could play architect
And nobody's son
Where are we going
Its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
Straight in my spine
And I've been walking in circles and squares
And circles again
Kept chasing my tail
It would help if I knew where it ends
I followed that dark horse
To see where he'd go
Straight through the forest
And out on to the road
And where are we going
Its still warm outside
I crept through the front door
And into the night
Where are we going
Its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
Straight in my spine
Its a dark light
When you're always staying inside
Its a dark light
When you're always staying inside
Holding the telescope
And circles again
Kept chasing my tail
It would help if I knew where it ends
And life in a coma
Could be quite fun
And I could play architect
And nobody's son
Where are we going
Its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
Straight in my spine
And I've been walking in circles and squares
And circles again
Kept chasing my tail
It would help if I knew where it ends
I followed that dark horse
To see where he'd go
Straight through the forest
And out on to the road
And where are we going
Its still warm outside
I crept through the front door
And into the night
Where are we going
Its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
Straight in my spine
Its a dark light
When you're always staying inside
Its a dark light
When you're always staying inside
Holding the telescope

@[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/
Blue
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.
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.
I think it's about someone who's staying in isolation from others. Maybe to escape their prying eyes or opinions. It sounds like people have a view of them that is false. The person feels that they are conflicted about going out or staying in, being themselves or being what people want to see. They are internally lost, and feel like they are asleep sort of, that life is a dream and the world is a rude awakening.
