Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I feel so many affectious obstacles
water must be allowed to seek it's own level
I don't seek to strive on others' expense
and the expense is mine as they judge my ways
I'm waiting for the rain to fall for days
I'm longing for the flood to sweep this all away
To grind the mountains to the level of the valleys
to cut the trees to the level of the grass
to asphalt the land in the name of equality
let us grow in mutual respect and care
I will transgress the laws and change the orders
to live within an environment of my choice
so don't force your will or taste the rule over mine
don't stand in the shadow of my hammer
water must be allowed to seek it's own level
I don't seek to strive on others' expense
and the expense is mine as they judge my ways
I'm waiting for the rain to fall for days
I'm longing for the flood to sweep this all away
To grind the mountains to the level of the valleys
to cut the trees to the level of the grass
to asphalt the land in the name of equality
let us grow in mutual respect and care
I will transgress the laws and change the orders
to live within an environment of my choice
so don't force your will or taste the rule over mine
don't stand in the shadow of my hammer

@[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/

“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.
this is an amazing song that gives me chills. i think of this song as a dialogue between mankind and nature. the first verse and chorus are nature speaking and the 2nd and 3rd verses are man, except the line "let us grow in mutual respect and care" which is a statement of the author. of course, this is just how i see it.
I'm not sure if your interpretation is what is intended by the song (the interesting ones never are)... but I love it anyway.
The song is about individuality, in the mind of Swedes. Sweden is a very liberal but socially concious country. Among the first countries in the world to embrace "fair use" and one of the last to outlaw it. At the same time we do not like that which sticks out. To take up room is to disrupt and that which hurts our sense of equality must be levelled to the ground.
So the song is a plea for individuality, to be allowed to seek ones own path and a warning not to stand in the way.
Tabula rasa (Latin: blank slate) - The rain to wash away our bloodshed, the fire to burn away our sins. So that we can start over , this time 'let us grow in mutual respect and care'. To choose(shape) our environment, not one that was build on current laws and greed but one on mutual respect and care.. . ' so don't force your will or taste the(to?) rule over mine don't stand in the shadow of my hammer' - we should fight for this 'environment', where we can be free and not give it up, like we did with the current one
