@[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.
After the cold darkness,
In the heart of the forest
Where birds are singing,
For the newborn sun
In the womb of the leaves,
On the branches of the trees,
Lies the treasure of the morning,
The pearls of light
Carried away by the truculence of my world
I got lost in the search for enlightenment
The blue rain
Covered my roots
And I forgot where I came from
In the heart of the forest
Where birds are singing,
For the newborn sun
In the womb of the leaves,
On the branches of the trees,
Lies the treasure of the morning,
The pearls of light
Carried away by the truculence of my world
I got lost in the search for enlightenment
The blue rain
Covered my roots
And I forgot where I came from

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

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.
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.
I have sort of a different interpretation for this. When I first listened to this song, I imagined her walking from the cruel world into this beautiful forest. Over time she just sort of forgot about the outside world and became part of the forest. You see, when she said the rain covered her roots,I took it literally as if she had become a tree herself. I think that the forest represents her fantasies, and she gets so caught up in blocking out reality that she forgets she is from the 'real world'. Instead of literally becoming a tree, she becomes part of the fantasy world she has created in her mind.
no comments? tsss
the meaning can be summed up in one word: morning
the pearls of light refer to the morning dew by the way
This song is WAY more complex than just morning. The cold forest in night is where she's from. The newborn sun seems so serene, but then the music tenses up. She finds the evil in the garish sun and fighting to get what she wants. Then she wants to find the meaning of life but is lost in the search. The so-called purity covered her origins and she forgot she came from the cold dark night.
I agree with dark ivory. Basically, her fascination with the light of the morning is a metaphor for her search for good/knowledge. However, she soon learns that light can also deceive and that she should have not forgotten her roots and her instincts.
Nice song. :)
This song strangely reminds me of the elves city of Darnassus from World of Warcraft. Damn I miss that game
I have always felt this song is about birth. That it is about a newborn person, or for that matter something else, that is newborn. That this new life (life in any way) is in itself the "Pearls of Light". Maybe that is a too literal interpretation but thats what I have always imagined. "newborn sun", "womb of the leaves" . I feel like the "I" in the song is letting herself/himself get carried away with the light of the newborn, and for a moment he/she forgets where she's from, beacuse even though this birth is something beautiful in itself, the world surrounding it has a lot of darkness.
