You go without me I'll hold right here
That gleam in your eyes it still fills me with fear
The more you see that I'm not like the others
The harder you try to take my hands in yours

Cold grey and callous reaching out for me
Whatever's over that hill it scares the fuck out of me
Still you step closer so that your eyes can meet
Tell me know one knows me like you do

And then, you say that I can't play this game forever
No you are the king of killers.
I've seen what you do
Carving through the hearts and souls of many

With cloven hoofs you stomp the dreams of men
Of men far greater than me.
I'm not going I'll hold there

    I think it's just about someone with a hidden agenda, and uses people.

    Kick ass song too.

    exceptional song, its awesome that he's not afraid to admit he's scared and all that, a lot of macho assholes claim they're not scared of anything. its just good.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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
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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
