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”
I know what you are thinking, you're thinking this is a song,
Well I guess ill just have to show ya exactly where you are wrong.
Why aren't ya hearing the cheese?
Why aren't ya feeling the ham?
If you don't listen you'll miss it, you don't understand.
I will explain it all once, I can explain it all twice.
To make it clear to your brain until your taking a bite.
It couldn't be a dam cause it doesn't have a beaver.
It's not the DMV cause it doesn't make you wait.
It couldn't be a taco cause it isn't very crunchy.
It couldn't be an Olson cause it isn't Mary Kate.
It can't be dirty dancing cause it doesn't make you vomit.
It couldn't be an iron cause it doesn't burn your face.
It couldn't be Bruce Cambell cause it isn't freaking awesome.
It couldn't be a keyboard cause it doesn't have a space...bar.
Because, this is not a song its a sandwich!
What would make you think otherwise?
This is not a song its a sandwich!
Now no more of your vile filthy lies!
This is a song....
No! It's a sandwich!
Uh... But, it's a song...
No! It's a sandwich!
So what are you thinking,
Still think this is a song?
Do you require more proof?
Do you enjoy being wrong?
Why aren't you hearing the meat?
why aren't you feeling the bread?
If you don't listen you'll miss it.
You're making me sad...
I will explain it all once
I can explain it all twice
And then again and again until you're taking a bite...
It couldn't be a chick cause it doesn't want to marry,
It cant be windows vista cause it doesn't suck enough.
It couldn't be a boob cause it isn't very squishy,
It couldn't be a beer cause it isn't good and stuff.
It couldn't be a tub cause it doesn't have a ducky,
It couldn't be a stoner cause it doesn't have a joint.
It couldn't be an egg cause there is no Easter bunny,
It couldn't be a song cause it doesn't have a point.
Because, this is not a song its a sandwich!
What would make you think otherwise?
This is not a song it's a sandwich!
It's really a hogie in disguise!
I'm pretty sure this is a song....
No! It's a sandwich!
Sooooonnngggg....
Sand! Wich!
SONG!
SANDWICH!
Jesus dude! What is wrong with you?!
No! It's a sandwich!
Lettuce, bacon, mayo, tomato, cheese, olives, onion, frog, tuna, turkey, peppers, salami, noodles, pizza, tires, crowbars!

at your house or wherever..... On your IPOD.

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
