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”
Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor
Now who got a fever for the flavor
Who can dig the way that I flex on a track, I'm causin' rampage
Ricky Rick on point with da 9-5 style from my lips, they'll be rollin' mad joints
So put your hands in the air 'cause there's a party over here so grab yourself a beer
Or we can get our fever on I'm with it, so let me put my big brown beaver on
I'm coming with the discos, I can flip so, I'ma try the solo tip
Something for the honeys in the crowd, lend me your ear so I can turn the party out
'Til tomorrow afternoon, 'cause when I raise my spirits, no one leaves the room
So can ya tell do ya feel the
Mad skills coming with the fever, fever, fever
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor
Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive
Everybody's in the house, we had to run this back so you can bring your flares out
N-Trance and the only one, we got it goin' on, so let me get my flowin' on
It's the blast from the pasts that you heard of, me and the boys comin' down with murder
And it's gotta be da way, everybody wants to make a move, so just party
Or we can have a jam, so get your move on, I'ma take this groove and slam
Flip how I want it flipped, from the back to the front, when I drops me the manuscript
'Cause I got the moves, and I'm always gonna flow with the crazy, crazy groove
So can ya tell do ya feel the
Mad skills coming with the fever, fever, fever
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor
Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive (yeah)
Step to the side, you'd better run and hide
More to the side, everybody wants to stay alive
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho" (Ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho, ho" (Ho, ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho" (Ho)
Everybody in the house c'mon and let me hear you say "Ho, ho, ho" (Ho, ho, ho)
It's about time, everybody in the house bust a move to my vicious rule and rhymes
Ricky Rick on the tip, with my boys bringin' disco noise, as I drop the wickedness
Getting sharp with the flow, we took a Bees Gees loop, and broke it down like Lego
A disco lick that's deeper, 'cause we gotta get with da fever, fever, fever
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Get rolled with the fever on the dance floor
Now who got a fever for the flavor

@[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.
