In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Certain sides of temptation start to sprout,
wait I'm too clean for this leave me out
From those depths comes the part of me,
that's too fearless to back down
Time to incinerate hesitation
Flip my mode to devastation
Liquid moves, no contemplation
Pumped fascinations,
need no persuasions
Automatic internalizations
That's what I really stand for
You should know
If fate pulls a trick on me
You should know
Vaporizes foes till death of me
You cry slow
If my brain blows a fuse then,
I'd go into hiding for my safety
don't make me turn this thing on and go crazy
Dust off my crazy
This became the rainy day for which I saved all my sick heat
I attack like a break-beat
To save myself from these silhouettes,
That stand and shroud me on my right and left
Tension builds at this address
Don't contest my will to live
that's a serious make me furious offense
Do your thing God Bless,
I transform out of nervous to the sickest cell that I possess
It procreates like a threat
When shit is life or death my body screams
monstrous to build obscene montras,
in the tongues of Gods and Mongers who used war
like a fucking sculptor sculpts shit and lies it
Can a madman be an artist?
I lay you down to bed like your father as my thoughts grow darker
Wait I'm too clean for this leave me out
My thoughts grow darker
What saves you from yourself?
I consumed by years of passivity turned activity in split seconds
My newest weapon is my state of calm
Lowered alarms, I feel more peaceful adrenaline has its charms
Wait I'm too clean for this leave me out
From these depths I'm relentless, fearless, priceless, senseless, anxious
On the edge of this ledge I sit,
boundless I thank you that I found this
Force me to these grounds with threats and motive,
now I'm focused approachless
I would have given a man my kingdom a year ago just to feel this
My thoughts grow darker
Who's that?
Neipom's code name is propane
Shake the game like loose change, giving to bums for their true pain
From these two things, to my shoestrings I'm good things
Like a shot of Hennerock on my hoop dreams
It ain't a new thing
I'm the sling slang kind
To make a fool dance make his deuce-deuce sing
What ya'll chattin bout,
in a flash I'm out
Poof Thanks
Nothing but smoke, hating but you, loving it though
Squatting on top of the globe
Busting snot in your snow
Yeah Neipom
They should put my flow in jars, pop the top, enjoy the God
And if I'm ice pull my toes apart for frozen bars
That's the only way ya'll eat me, or dispose of Porn
Our thoughts grow darker
Wait, we're too clean for this leave us out
Our thoughts grow darker
wait I'm too clean for this leave me out
From those depths comes the part of me,
that's too fearless to back down
Time to incinerate hesitation
Flip my mode to devastation
Liquid moves, no contemplation
Pumped fascinations,
need no persuasions
Automatic internalizations
That's what I really stand for
You should know
If fate pulls a trick on me
You should know
Vaporizes foes till death of me
You cry slow
If my brain blows a fuse then,

@[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.

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.
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/
