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.
Chorus:
Sorry, you can't have this, it's not for sale,
even though you want it more than anything
sorry, you can't have her, she's not for you
it's out of reach, she's out of reach
Verse 1:
Insignificance, i put the blame on me,
for everything thats happened, and is going to be
i just wish that you hear this song, somehow, some day
and think of how much pain you've caused me
Dreaming, i must be dreaming,
pinch myself, just to make sure,
nope, im awake, and a mess as ever
i sit disappointed at the thought of more
Verse 2:
Paranoia, burns inside of me,
it makes me think, it makes me believe,
of all the shit that some people say,
like 'you'll live to love another day'
Insomnia, keeping me from escaping,
breaking free, from this reality,
it's a wormhole, my portal to freedom,
from this charade, I have to leave them
Middle eight:
And when I look at myself in the broken glass,
I see myself, but of a lower class
This isn't me, its some wingless dove
The result of life, and the bitch called love
Sorry, you can't have this, it's not for sale,
even though you want it more than anything
sorry, you can't have her, she's not for you
it's out of reach, she's out of reach
Verse 1:
Insignificance, i put the blame on me,
for everything thats happened, and is going to be
i just wish that you hear this song, somehow, some day
and think of how much pain you've caused me
Dreaming, i must be dreaming,
pinch myself, just to make sure,
nope, im awake, and a mess as ever
i sit disappointed at the thought of more
Verse 2:
Paranoia, burns inside of me,
it makes me think, it makes me believe,
of all the shit that some people say,
like 'you'll live to love another day'
Insomnia, keeping me from escaping,
breaking free, from this reality,
it's a wormhole, my portal to freedom,
from this charade, I have to leave them
Middle eight:
And when I look at myself in the broken glass,
I see myself, but of a lower class
This isn't me, its some wingless dove
The result of life, and the bitch called love

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/

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

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.
