@[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.
Raw!
Another crashing on the road because of you
Next time must be the last one, you lucky devil
Cause after going up the road is going down
Being reckless as hell is fucking futile
We're on the highway
We're scared to turn away
Ignoring our fear
That objects in mirror are closer than they appear
Take a closer look, take a better look
You depend too much on the good lord
Take a closer look, take a better look
You depend too much on the good lord
Every time you see me around, slow down
Driving trough your life with the speed of light
Society and its rotten core
Make you having nothing pursue more
Soon these day will be trapped in past
All the values revived at last
Don't let degradation
To become distinctive feature of your nation
Here we go again!
We're on the highway
We're scared to turn away
Ignoring our fear
That objects in mirror are closer than they appear
Take a closer look, take a better look
You depend too much on the good lord
Take a closer look, take a better look
Broken mirror means you are out of luck
Never take things for granted
Power of will is entrusted to you
Our fate hasn't been decided
Turn the wheel, make a choice where you're heading to
By taking for granted
We ruin our roads, our minds disobey to steer
Next time you know you're lost
Destination isn't clear
Go!
It's totally up to you
Make choice where you're heading to
The roads are opened to you
Make a choice where you want to go now
They say that nothing changes
And the world stays the same
I'd say if it makes no difference
Then we all live in vain!
We all live in vain!

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
