This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I hurt myself again today
I feel a little numb, I could use the pain
I always find myself in this little bind
It's been a few weeks since you've been around
So here I sit with my hands strapped down
Patiently awaiting our secret games we used to play all alone
So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
I do not mind if this goes on
I think about what I'll say to you
When you finally decide to come my way
I'm sitting around all painted up like a fool
And I don't know how I got this way
And I don't know how much more I wanna take
I know you'll shoot me down and bury me before I get too high
So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
When will I learn to walk away
From the things I do that make me feel the way
I feel when I'm with you?
Tonight it's me, myself, and I
Solitaire
All this pain I seem to put myself through
All the ways I find to submit to you
Cat o' nine tails getting old
And I don't know how I got this way
And I don't know how much more I wanna take
A million ways to tame myself and a million nights to try
So here I sit all tied up
All alone with all my thoughts
When will I learn to walk away
From the things I do that make me feel the way
I feel when I'm with you?
Tonight it's me, myself, and I
When you come around
Do the things you do to me

Holiday

@[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
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 songs about heroin addiction! "i always find myself in this little bind" the turniquet. "hands strapped down" fighting to stay away from it. "here i sit all tied up" the turniquet again, "all alone w/ all my thoughts" using drugs is usually done alone. "shoot me down before i get to high" the addiction will get him before he makes too much progress quitting. the song is a metaphor for struggling with heroin (jim cherry was addicted to it). trying to stay clean and giving in to addiction.
