@[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.
Everyone's hatred is getting to me
There is no happiness out in the street
Ignorance is taught to young by old
I hear it on the radio and on TV
And all they do is reason for you
Reason enough to let your hatred grow
Hate without reason is the way you live
Blind each day
When will you see
See the me in you and the you in me.
Finding the right ground...is not so easy
Holding your hand out...is not so easy
Trusting each other...is not so easy
Loving your brother...is not so easy
Playing a fair game...is not so easy
Finding the right ground...is not so easy
It's not so easy.
Living in a world full of color and fear
You can't find a friend
Won't even let you near
You hold out your hand and say your gonna try (try and try)
But your hands are at your sides as you walk right on by
And I'm getting really pissed at the world I see
People's wrongs trample over me
Blind each day when will we see?
See that equal is the way for us to be.
There is no happiness out in the street
Ignorance is taught to young by old

And all they do is reason for you
Reason enough to let your hatred grow
Hate without reason is the way you live
Blind each day
When will you see
See the me in you and the you in me.
Finding the right ground...is not so easy

And I'm getting really pissed at the world I see
People's wrongs trample over me
Blind each day when will we see?
See that equal is the way for us to be.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
