I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
The shot that took you out
Open wide
Put your foot in your mouth
It stole your secrecy
Lock the door
Throw away the key
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
Lighten the load
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
Took your breath away
Left you winded
With nothing to say
It's easy to proceed
When you're good
Faith is nothing but greed
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
Lighten the load
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
I can't die
The shot that took you out
(Open wide, put your foot in your mouth)
It stole your secrecy
(Lock the door, throw away the key)
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
(Listen to me)
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
Open wide
Put your foot in your mouth
It stole your secrecy
Lock the door
Throw away the key
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
Lighten the load
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
Took your breath away
Left you winded
With nothing to say
It's easy to proceed
When you're good
Faith is nothing but greed
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
Lighten the load
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
I can't die
The shot that took you out
(Open wide, put your foot in your mouth)
It stole your secrecy
(Lock the door, throw away the key)
Don't deny this
Know you want to try this
Take away your blindness
With your narrow-mindedness
Help me find that pot of gold
(Listen to me)
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die
Green eyes that satisfy
Carry the weight of the land to the sky
Meanwhile, they cry
Meanwhile, they cry
I can't die

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is the reason I started listening to slaves on dope, but the version I had before is not the same as the one on the record. I first thought they were taking dope all the time but when I read these lyrics I started to think the opposite..
