@[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 was riding
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
We're so alike
Am I all alone
She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss
Am I all alone
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it I might waste it, come and spit it
Am I all alone
Am I all alone
Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire
Close your eyes and click your heels
Can you believe how good it feels
Am I all alone
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it I might waste it come and spit it
Am I all alone
Am I all alone
Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire
Say goodbye to where you got it now
Pay your father, pay your twenty, take a bow
Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now
Pay your mamma, pay your father take a bow
Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now
Pay your father, pay your twenty, take a bow
Three pounds of love inside my skull
A million more lives it's never dull
Just a few times spun, spun around the sun
A couple more or less and then we're done
Sitting in the fire, I get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher, oh, maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
I'll breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
We're so alike
Am I all alone
She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss
Am I all alone
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it I might waste it, come and spit it
Am I all alone
Am I all alone
Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one

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

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Ahh.. Can't believe - only 2 comments?! Imo, all One Hot Minute CD is (lyrical) an acid trip diary.. Sad, melancholic, painfull. AK searches the way out of Minotaur's Maze (his longing of Hillel, John - but not only, there is sth about River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain - all of them were lost by drugs (well, John was on the way;)). But he can't find it (the way out)! So maybe.. Drugs are only way to be with them?
That was my 0,03 PLN ;)
I got back to One Hot Minute 2 months ago. And I find it much more attractive.. I think I understand more. I love this CD.
I read in internet that this song is about tori[amos] could this be possible?
yes. many of the lyrics in this song directly reflect her lyrics and/or imagery to her music videos. Anthony and Tori also exchanged one hot minute when he met up with her backstage at one of her shows, she said to him something like i gotta go on stage. he told her he is a big fan and he hit on her. she didn't recognize him, she said in a later interview, in which she said Anthony is one those guys you could just run away with. years later, Anthony searched her tour schedule, discovering she had four days off. He came to and asked her if she would "run away" with him, to Borneo, to which she declined because she had a boyfriend at the time, who later became her husband. She mentioned Borneo in her lyrics, either before or after their encounter. It is also a possibility that the red-head playing the piano on the album cover is a likeness of Tori, as the fairy and other things refer to her song lyrics.
during the time One Hot Minute was made AK claimed to the band that he wasnt using drugs howeva this was not the case, he says in scar tissue that he left thoughout the album lyrics that had to do with him using
just thought u would want some useless trivia
do you know what is that mean album cover im curious.. are they devil and angel..?
This is definitely a sort of musical journey through a trip. Look at this song and compare it to others off the album such as "My Friends" or "Airplane" and you'll see the highs and lows of drug use
this is an ok song i think its about gd things happening, and u have 2 cheris them or maybe its about an acid trip..dunno
yeah im actually now getting into what they mean by this album and can now listen to it all at once without stopping. see i have wee problem with listening to drug meaning songs and i can actually react to the songs more than ever. i think that AK felt really alone at this time in his life cuz flea was too busy looking after his family, looking after john and trying to play guitar for dave that he wasnt paying mush attention to AK and he decided to go on drugs (acid trips) and he felt lots of regert put on him like a big load of very heavy drugs. sorry im almst in tears now soory if i misplaced anything on this. i had to get all this off my chest thank you.
this album is all about drugs,losts and pain, but the first time u listen to some songs like aeroplane u think that it's happy but it's still sad, that's what so fantastic about the red hots, they can create anything they want
two things, first Navaro claims this is one of the few songs on the album that sound too "pop" so he doesn't like it. Which makes me love the song even more. Second, JF claims to have never heard anything off of this album, that's bs I'm sorry, you'd trip over hearing warped, or aeroplane somewhere...AK definitely had to be lit when he wrote this song
"Close your eyes and click your heels Can you believe how good it feels?"
This is the single greatest line in any song. It's so powerful and beautiful.
