This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It seems I've gained the world but have nothing,
To keep tabs upon this loss isn't wasted time,
Face opportunities to recognize now we have the time,
Rebuke, don't choke on this twisted dream
[Chorus]
Cause he'll say pay for it,
The whole sum,
To magnify pain,
Is point number one
Is point number one
It seems I've gained the world but have nothing,
To keep tabs upon this loss isn't wasted time,
Face opportunities to recognize now we have the time,
Rebuke, don't choke on this twisted dream
Cause he'll say pay for it,
The whole sum,
To magnify pain,
Is point number one
We need a healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back
Hate, well couldn't do, couldn't do no wrong
Hate, yeah, this could do, this could do you in
We need healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back
We need healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back (Rah!)
To keep tabs upon this loss isn't wasted time,
Face opportunities to recognize now we have the time,
Rebuke, don't choke on this twisted dream
[Chorus]
Cause he'll say pay for it,
The whole sum,
To magnify pain,
Is point number one
Is point number one
It seems I've gained the world but have nothing,
To keep tabs upon this loss isn't wasted time,
Face opportunities to recognize now we have the time,
Rebuke, don't choke on this twisted dream
Cause he'll say pay for it,
The whole sum,
To magnify pain,
Is point number one
We need a healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back
Hate, well couldn't do, couldn't do no wrong
Hate, yeah, this could do, this could do you in
We need healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back
We need healing aloe plant,
Your soothing hands run down my back (Rah!)

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The song IS about spirituality. The concept of magnifying pain and paying for the whole sum is relevant in many religions (eye for an eye). Magnifying pain is the guilt brought on by religion, most likely Christianity.
The healing aloe plant and soothing hands refer to the healing earth and the soothing power of the hands of women and men.
The loss is a loss of faith, and he says to keep tabs upon it isn't wasted time. Gaining the world and having nothing conveys a sense of knowing the world is simply the world, yet the emptiness left from a loss of faith is damaging.
Rebuking refers to rebuking religion, probably Christianity, which is then referred to as a twisted dream. Magnifying pain is point #1 in many religions, because guilt and fear are two of the strongest tools used to lead individuals to do the bidding of others.
Hope that clears everything up.
@othello3713 It seems extremely unlikely the song is about how bad religion or Christianity is. At the time the band was signed they were actually on a Christian label (Squint). Over time, yes the band did depart from their roots but it took quite a bit of time for most Christian rock stations to stop playing the new stuff. Most Christian stations still play Point #1 as well as some of the other albums. So - no....the first comment on here by Othello isn't even close.
@othello3713 I think you are onto something here that it has to do with Faith (likely Christianity). @jess101544 that they were signed by a Christian label at the time backs it up.<br /> <br /> I cannot interpret the whole song, but I think I have something relevant worth sharing:<br /> "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" - Mark 8:36<br /> <br /> When he says, "It seems I've gained the world but have nothing," I think he could possibly be referencing the above verse, which means "nothing" is referring to forfeiture of his soul. <br /> <br /> Carrying it further, this could mean "Rebuke, don't choke on this twisted dream" is referring from a departure from the faith, as you mentioned, into the mainstream. The fame they achieved without sticking to their Christian roots is the "twisted dream".<br /> <br /> my 2c.
