@[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.
To my dearest
It is almost like we've died
entwined in that way we are.
our voices,
our touch,
our lips are searching
for answers
to questions not asked.
It is not
a belief in dreams.
It is not
a refusal to accept.
It is a refusal
to let go.
And words written
over time only serve to paint these days
a clearer shade of black.
Now a dying wave on a shallow sea.
Now a dying wave on a shallow sea.See,
our lives fade apart to converge
only in my darker hours,
only in my saddest hours...
Take these words
pulled from me
tied to you.
Destroyed,
Destroyed,
Destroyed,
Destroyed.
Yours Always.
Always
It is almost like we've died
entwined in that way we are.
our voices,
our touch,
our lips are searching
for answers
to questions not asked.
It is not
a belief in dreams.
It is not
a refusal to accept.
It is a refusal
to let go.
And words written
over time only serve to paint these days
a clearer shade of black.
Now a dying wave on a shallow sea.
Now a dying wave on a shallow sea.See,
our lives fade apart to converge
only in my darker hours,
only in my saddest hours...
Take these words
pulled from me
tied to you.
Destroyed,
Destroyed,
Destroyed,
Destroyed.
Yours Always.
Always

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
mm, saetia..
Best Saetia song lyrically, hands down. It's insane how well I can relate to these lyrics.
On the poster that came with their 1998 self-titled LP, the lyrics to this song are written out, and next to them is the drawing of literally "an open letter," which has blank spaces where the sender and recipient's names would normally be.
The letter reads,
"Dear __,
I know you remember those times when we could appreciate the world and everything around us. Who knew it would turn so sour and black? Please forgive me, but it might be easier to remember each other as dreams and nothing more.
Love always, ___"
I took a few photos of the lyrics and sketches surrounding it, which can be found here:

it is not a belief in dreams. it is not a refusal to accept. it is a refusal to let go.
i know so well where he stands.
i could have written this song, granted i was graced with such poetic genius as billy werner is. which i'm not. but such inspiriation...
great song, these lyrics are so good
"it is not a belief in dreams. it is not a refusal to accept. it is a refusal to let go."
I love it when someone writes something that perfectly sums up a feeling. I know exactly what that feels like.
ditto. mm, saetia...
