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.
Well i woke up and my mouth was a little dry
so i grab moisturizer and try not to cry
spoke to my hand and then started to dream.
You came into my bed and i tied you up
we went underneath and i thought you're the cop
while people were watching how you and me breathe.
And i got lost in the warm
And i got lost in the hole
And i got lost in the arms
The softness i stolen was never round to be left
So i got addicted to watching the screen
like kids today i can't picture sex clean
and all the time the body slowly broke apart
Noone knows no more how to cum inside
Its all about the dirt we hide and our pride
and tissues become our slow and wasted heart
We'll get lost in the warm
We'll get lost in the hole
We'll get lost in our arms
The softness we stole was never about the love
Ladies on the screen can never replicate
All the fightin' and lyin' that skin doctors hate
We must fold eyes before we even kiss
The joy, the joy used to be in all the books.
Kids today think that hookers are the hook
And hearts beat better in a bed when they're missed
And they'll get lost in the warm
And they'll get lost in the holes
And they'll get lost in the arms
The softness they stole will never ever be able to love
so i grab moisturizer and try not to cry
spoke to my hand and then started to dream.
You came into my bed and i tied you up
we went underneath and i thought you're the cop
while people were watching how you and me breathe.
And i got lost in the warm
And i got lost in the hole
And i got lost in the arms
The softness i stolen was never round to be left
So i got addicted to watching the screen
like kids today i can't picture sex clean
and all the time the body slowly broke apart
Noone knows no more how to cum inside
Its all about the dirt we hide and our pride
and tissues become our slow and wasted heart
We'll get lost in the warm
We'll get lost in the hole
We'll get lost in our arms
The softness we stole was never about the love
Ladies on the screen can never replicate
All the fightin' and lyin' that skin doctors hate
We must fold eyes before we even kiss
The joy, the joy used to be in all the books.
Kids today think that hookers are the hook
And hearts beat better in a bed when they're missed
And they'll get lost in the warm
And they'll get lost in the holes
And they'll get lost in the arms
The softness they stole will never ever be able to love

@[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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
AMAZING song. kevin drew is a god.
the song is basically summed up in the title, Love vs. Porn. its about how the masses have been desensitized by mass media (in this case, pornography) and because of this, sex is no longer a beautiful act.
When I first saw this song on the Dark Was the Night tracklist, I thought wow, here's the archetypal Kevin Drew song... it's basically what he's been singing about in songs all along, not to mention what he's said in his Pitchfork interviews, and the video he put up on his website before Spirit If... came out. He's kindof resigned to his attraction to porn, he's been looking at it for so long he feels... the lyrics are actually alot less obtuse than they are usually for kevin, so i really dont feel like breakin em down, i'll just be taking the piss outta em.
i hear it as:
"So i got addicted to watching the screen like kids today i can't picture sex clean"
and then:
"Ladies on the screen can never replicate All the fightin' and lyin' that skin doctors hate"
which i assume is a reference to all the arguments and stress in a relationship giving a person skin problems, but i dunno if thats even true
WTF? I have no clue what this song is about. Obviously there are plenty of sexual references, but still....WTF?????
Oh Man, it says "tied you up." I think I could like this song:)
Amazing what Kevin Drew puts down here in these lyrics. The heart of a person is slowly destroyed both literally and in their spirit by porn and masturbation. We have opened our doors wide to sadness and early death in the name of pleasure, inhibition, freedom of speech, and high download speeds.
It's good to see Kevin Drew honestly and artistically ring this warning bell.
I choice porn
I think its:
Ladies on the screen can never replicate All the fat in a line with skin doctors hate We must fold eyes before we even kiss
Talking about plastic surgery and women feeling ugly compared to those on the screen?
i think the idea is good but some of the lyrics are crass or dont make sense
