All the cells in my body
Are giving up slowly
You're an injury
And I am unholy

Street smart like a sailor
Worldly like a whore

Permanent sleep is my only cure
It hurts all the time, it won't hurt anymore
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

All the blood in my body
Is pouring out slowly
You're the reason why
I am unholy

Worldly like a sailor
Street smart like a whore

Permanant sleep is my only cure
It hurts all the time, it won't hurt anymore
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

Drive half way! drive half way!
You won't make it! you won't make it!
Drive half way! drive half way!
You won't make it! you won't make it!

You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can
You can't help me no one can

Drive half way!
Drive half way!
Drive half way!
Drive half way!

    i cant believe someone could type that out and think....yeah that looks right...anyways...theyre more like this: ALL THE CELLS IN MY BODY - ARE GIVING UP SLOWLY YOURE AND INJURY - AND I AM UNHOLY

    and: IT HURTS ALL THE TIME - IT WONT HURT ANYMORE

    and i think its more about bleeding to death because life hurts too much to deal with it.

Silent Planet
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
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.
