This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Don't ever ask us to define our morals
Sometimes when fundamentals meet teenage heartbreak
Some of us are all of us, half-selves that love whole hopes
And hara-kiri heartbreak
There's almost nothing worse
There's almost nothing (worse than never being) real
(Strained voices crying) wolf (when nobody can) hear
If I had a gun, I'd pump your ethics full of lead
If I believed in meat, I'd eat a plateful of our dead
There's merit in construction when it's done with our own hands
There's beauty in destruction, a resurrection, another chance
There's a you and I in union but just an I in my beliefs
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads, "Everyone's naive"
The only proof that I have that we shot and killed this horse
(Is the sounds of whips on flesh and a-) a bleeding heart's remorse
The only proof that I have that we shot and killed this horse
A bleeding heart
When I'm In this state of reflection
When you hand me whips and two by fours
I could never (bring them down, bring them down, bring them down)
And beat the same horse (as before)
(Bring them down) (as before)
I'd rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds
Until a garden with our bullet-laden morals will be found
I'd rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds
Until a garden with our bullet-laden morals will be found
Will be found

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
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/
Head > Heels

“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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
i think this song is the priest reflecting on the execution of kezia but i never really understood the story in the first place, so i dont know for sure. possibly and the exectioner and priest together (Don't ever ask us, only proof that I have, If I had a gun, If I believed). maybe its the band reflecting on their story? hara-kiri is suicide btw.
