@[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 got a cupboard with cans of food
Filtered water and pictures of you
And I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
And we become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet
But all the news reports
Recommended that I stay in doors
Because the air outside will make
Our cells divide at an alarming rate
Until our shelves simply cannot hold
All our insides in
And that's when we'll explode
And it won't be a pretty sight
And we'll become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
Silhoutettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And well become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
And we'll become
And we'll become
And we'll become
Filtered water and pictures of you
And I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
And we become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet
But all the news reports
Recommended that I stay in doors
Because the air outside will make
Our cells divide at an alarming rate
Until our shelves simply cannot hold
All our insides in
And that's when we'll explode
And it won't be a pretty sight
And we'll become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
Silhoutettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And well become
Silhouettes when our bodies finally go
And we'll become
And we'll become
And we'll become
And we'll become

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
this seems to be about the end of the world, or like atomic bombs.- you know, cupboards of food and filtered water. not allowed outside becasue of radiation. makes sense right?
the silhoutte thing is because say if you are outside, standing by a brick wall when an atomic bomb explodes, and you are within a few miles of it, your body will disintagrate and all that will be left of you is a silhouette of you against the brick wall
its the bomb thing which i agree with but also, the thing is, his girlfriend or lover was left outside or somewhere else and he is by himself in his little shelter. and he is all alone and is contemplating going outside to find this lover. you can see that he is by himself by the lyrics talking about how he is screaming and pretending the echoes belong to someone else.
i interpreted different than all of you i though the whole bomb shelter thing was a metaphor I kind of pictured it as like maybe he and someone else he loved dearly got in a fight and he missed them and he didnt want to fight, so he stayed inside his "bomb shelter" to only think about them. And he just misses her so he pretends she is with him (the part about pretending the echoes beloning to someone he used to know) And he wanted to go talk to her again and have a constant relationship but everyone is telling him no and that the conditions outside of his "bomb shelter" are bad and everything bottled up might explode beucase they just couldnt take it and that wouldnt pretty.
oh well, thats what i thought of this great song.
personally, my favorite part is the music, especially the beginning. it reminds me of something, although i can't put my finger on exactly what. good stuff, either way.
it seems to be about the end of the world yes. but literally the end of the world? nuclear bombs etc........ or metaphorical end of world? like when something seems like the end of the world, but isnt really? like the end of a relationship or something? xxx
the shin version is actully a cover. it was made for one of the singles
i lvoe this song...thats all i can say
this song is clearly about the cure
LlCoolwars thats what I was going to say.
It like, leaves an imprint of you on the pavement, you can see pictures of things like that if you look about the bombing of Hiroshima.
You have to look at the whole song metaphysically though.
