In the lion's den
The quiet men
Sleep next to their fears
Praying not to wake them
But morning makes the disappear
And it feels like something has gone wrong
And he reaches up for what he held for so long
I will not be
Buried alive under this mountain of emotion
I will not be
Saddled by the blame
There and back again
Trying to make amends
Of a feeling that i fall for left me hallow
Losing lay down your only sorrow
It's the jester and the just
The gambler and the game
Leave it to the rest
To gather what remains
I will not be
Buried alive under this mountain of emotion
I will not be
Saddled by the blame indigent to devotion
Why must I defend the way I feel
Just to change, it's not treason
in spite of all the things that I was told
There is not always a reason
I will not be
Buried alive under this mountain of emotion
I will not be
Saddled by the blame indigent to devotion
He said I will not be
Then she said I will not be
He said I will not be
Buried alive

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/

Blue

“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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
