This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I just cannot cope with it anymore
Something is missing
My old faith is dead
I know you want some more force-fed hatred
And I'm gonna fill you up with a kiss
I found my redemption
I'm OD'd and there is no more entertainment
I found my redemption
And now the scene is so utterly dead
I failed
You won
My sin was pride
Excuse me my friends
I have to cast all aside
I have to clean up
Face the serpent's eyes
My life has been so deadly fake
Guess it is a fine day to bow out with grace
And at least angels are fading away
Suicide religion
“And I hate myself, you know I hate you all”
Suicide religion
Some time ago I'd have to write this down
Guess we know it all along
The light was shining in darkness
And darkness couldn't seize it
The light is shut in darkness
It's the shining
The shining
Je ne suis pas des vôtres
Et ce monde n'est pas mien
Reste l'ennui, reste l'orage
Reste la fraîcheur do soir
Et le droit eternal de rester immobile
Dans le temps suspendu
The light was shining in darkness
And darkness couldn't seize it
The light is shut in darkness
It's the shining
The shining
I don't want to hold this cross anymore
I'm bored to death
I'm abused and confused
And I guess that's how you want me to feel
Shall save my soul and leave it all behind
Suicide religion
“And I hate myself, you know I hate you all”
Suicide religion
Some time ago I'd have to write this down
Guess we know it all along
Something is missing
My old faith is dead
I know you want some more force-fed hatred
And I'm gonna fill you up with a kiss
I found my redemption
I'm OD'd and there is no more entertainment
I found my redemption
And now the scene is so utterly dead
I failed
You won
My sin was pride
Excuse me my friends
I have to cast all aside
I have to clean up
Face the serpent's eyes
My life has been so deadly fake
Guess it is a fine day to bow out with grace
And at least angels are fading away

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.
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song.. It just has unbelievable power. If we think meanings, this is from Metal Heart magazine:
"The Shining, the opening song of the album, for example, is a kinda metaphor about getting tired of the scene and of its clichés, getting bored of playing in a band for such a long time (almost ten years), realizing how you fucked everything up: job, friends, girlfriends, life.
