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.
brush your shoulder w/ an off-hand gesture / I'm holding your stare /
invite me upstairs
we look for reasons to stand closer touching / we look at a book / of
pictures you took
see who's taller and then arm wrestle a bet / I match your breathing
our chins touch closer we get
it's hours later and we're not much further / we've made it to bed /
your shirt's 'round my head
hands full of your hair and I can't stop kissing / I'm licking your
lips / my hand on your hips
a rush of wonder this spell I'm under might last / are we done with
others all other lovers are past
what's beginning? a brand-new winning, I can't stop kissing, I can't
undo your buckle while you bite at my neck / I've waited no end / I've
made enough friends
we're down to nothing and I can't stop shaking / you're nothing but
skin / I think we're done in
rush of wonder this charm we're under might last / we're too
hoping, our years are showing and fast /
we're too desperate, too soon investing, another lesson I'll pass

Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

"I've waited no end, I've made enough friends." - I take that to mean that he's looking for more than a hookup and wants something real. He's not looking to make a new friend but something, you know, more.
This has to be one of the best sex songs ever. Has all the trembling excitement of a first date/hookup - you know something's about to happen but it takes forever anyway...
i agree, one of the best sex songs ever. the best part is the lead-up and build-up followed by the line: "undo your buckle while you bite at my neck / i've waited no end / i've made enough friends"
i could listen to the wrens forever
"I've made enough friends" - what is the meaning of the very title then - what do you think?
The meaning of the title is just that the dude doesn't feel like being friends with this gal, he just wants to stick in this lustful, crazy moment forever and have a kickass sex toy.
i think that's a good interpretation nodima. i also think of it in terms of being a little older. the narrator is feeling his years a bit and feels like he's been around a lot, met a lot of people, made a lot of friends, and had plenty of lovers in the past.
It's a little thing, but the words "spell" and "charm" should be switched. Wouldn't want you all embarassed on karaoke night.
Whenever I first listened to it, I didn't think it had anything to do with the main character wanting to use his/her partner. I didn't think "I've made enough friends" pertained to his desire to remain uninvolved with the new love interest after this night. The way I took it was this: It's obviously two strangers. Then, he becomes more and more attracted to her and learns more about her (the arm wrestling, height comparisons, the photo album), but they're also just putting off the inevitable. After beating around the bush, they wrestle, and are breathing heavily, and everything starts. I think when it goes "I've made enough friends", he's referring to the fact that he's putting everything behind him for her. He's under the spell of Love, and he's beginning anew with this girl. So, by saying he's done with making new friends, he wants to be solely with her. I love how the lyrics perfectly define that moment of first contact with someone new. The shaking, the goosebumps, and the anxiety and excitement. That's just how I go about seeing it though :3
