This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Say a prayer, close the light, thumb upon a scale
The pillow is cold, that ship has sailed
Time has run the river dry, dry as a twisted trail
Into the bone, I'm into it
Ever get the feeling nothing else will do
I could hear you singing, painting her blue
Was the joke revealing, did you write your name?
On a dirty ceiling I can't explain
I need medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight calling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
I remember dancing hard under the dead moon
Howling with you howling
Ever get the feeling nothing else will do
I could hear you singing
I can't explain
I need medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
The pillow is cold, that ship has sailed
Time has run the river dry, dry as a twisted trail
Into the bone, I'm into it
Ever get the feeling nothing else will do
I could hear you singing, painting her blue
Was the joke revealing, did you write your name?
On a dirty ceiling I can't explain
I need medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight calling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
I remember dancing hard under the dead moon
Howling with you howling
Ever get the feeling nothing else will do
I could hear you singing
I can't explain
I need medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Medicine at midnight
But it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight howling
But it ain't no cure
I may be sick but you know I'm yours
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes

@[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/
Punchline

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
