@[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.
Gleaming
Twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships
On waters so inviting
I almost jump in
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like
To grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominos
I see me padding 'cross your wooden floors
With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door
At dinner parties
I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town
We wandered 'round had never
Seen a love as pure as it
And then it fades into the gray of my day old tea
'Cause you know it could never be
'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like
To grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
My mind turns your life into folklore
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
At dinner parties
Won't call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town
We never found will never
See a love as pure as it
'Cause it fades into the gray of my day old tea
'Cause it will never be

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
'gold rush' is Taylor Swift's ode to a handsome man adored by women. This is a song about a woman's obsession with this man before, at the end of the song, realizing that it could never work in the real world. 'gold rush' takes place inside a single daydream where you get lost in thought, then snap back to reality. With the lyrics, "digging for gold in my neighborhood/ …all I see is a long goodbye…/I never stopped losing you", we see what the woman wished could be, held in place by her mind. The end of the song, "Gold rush it didn't used to be this way," makes us believe that though she wishes the outcome may have been different, it is not meant to be. This song is about losing yourself for a moment in a daydream and being pulled back out as fast as it started.
@Nat83 umm. Those are the lyrics to the song. Maybe you’re replying to a different one?
"Gold Rush" is the third track off her latest studio album titled "evermore" was produced by herself & Jack Antonoff, and released on December 11, 2020.
What the artist means The track starts on a somber note, she's crooning in a tragic tone, sounding as if she's sinking but clearly putting up a struggle. She's singing about the bottom being like a gold rush, she's craving her lover's touch, especially in a sordid time like this. She's not sharing her lover, she wants that gold rush for herself, with his hair falling in so many places like dominos. She's crooning about her days going by, without her resisting the urge to fall in love a few more times. She's utterly in love on this record, and she's not afraid to show this, even though it's clear that everyone wants her gold rush. She's still dreaming about him, but that doesn't mean that she won't call him out if he messes up the vibe. She's sinking, yet she's not scared of leaving this gold rush of a love tale.
What the song means to me The song is a breezy affair, I'm hearing Taylor sound so alive, so in love and so focused. Love is one of the most surreal emotions, it's utterly awesome when you fall head over hills with that special someone. That's what's going on with Taylor Swift right now, and it's super cute seeing her bear her heart on wax. The track is such an easy listen, the production is spotless, and I couldn't stop smiling when I heard some corny yet cute lyrics from pop's favorite superstar. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
