This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
From the horizon line
Unfolds the burning sky
We stand so far but
The fear is on the rise
Echoes of endless fight
Just like the death-bell cry
We hope to hide and
Break out of that sound
Beware of marching feet
Disturbing scared peace
Who gives them right
To trample sanctities ?
The glare of warning light
Keeps flashing going wild
One step to cross the line
And split the blood... on the ground
Why we have to be afraid
Are we still alive
I don't wanna count my time
Feeling free to say: Deny
It's my only right
Stay away from that fight
It won't be over
Until we all decide
Destination with no crime
Art of devastation rise
Hidden right covered up
Let it be, Ablaze with light
Warfare - Ready for action ?
Will you be one of them
Join all the haters
Hero for one day
Suffering given to nations
Stop all the pain now
Feeling guilty never let you win
In a vicious circle of the reality
Life gets even with your acting
No one's ever gonna tell you why
Take a one step closer and you lose your life
So how's it gonna be ?
Why we have to be afraid
Are we still alive
I don't wanna count my time
Feeling free to say: Deny
It's my only right
Stay away from that fight
It won't be over
Until we all decide
Destination with no crime
Art of devastation rise
Hidden right covered up
Let it be, Ablaze with light
Unfolds the burning sky
We stand so far but
The fear is on the rise
Echoes of endless fight
Just like the death-bell cry
We hope to hide and
Break out of that sound
Beware of marching feet
Disturbing scared peace
Who gives them right
To trample sanctities ?
The glare of warning light
Keeps flashing going wild
One step to cross the line
And split the blood... on the ground
Why we have to be afraid
Are we still alive
I don't wanna count my time
Feeling free to say: Deny
It's my only right
Stay away from that fight
It won't be over
Until we all decide
Destination with no crime
Art of devastation rise
Hidden right covered up
Let it be, Ablaze with light
Warfare - Ready for action ?
Will you be one of them
Join all the haters
Hero for one day
Suffering given to nations
Stop all the pain now
Feeling guilty never let you win
In a vicious circle of the reality
Life gets even with your acting
No one's ever gonna tell you why
Take a one step closer and you lose your life
So how's it gonna be ?
Why we have to be afraid
Are we still alive
I don't wanna count my time
Feeling free to say: Deny
It's my only right
Stay away from that fight
It won't be over
Until we all decide
Destination with no crime
Art of devastation rise
Hidden right covered up
Let it be, Ablaze with light

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.
