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.
Rain falls, quickly wetting my hair and clothes
My cries fall upon her deaf ears
More tears
Let me in, please, it's cold
I'm freezing out here
I miss you, my dear
You're all his and I'm all yours
Like it or not, I'm all you've got
Everyone will make mistakes
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave
Light cuts through the clouds
And haunts me like bad dreams
Outside, looking in
I'm feeling lost and cold as a sin
A shred of a hope, a little bit of sweetness
Anything please, except for defeat
If I could, I'd lock you up and toss out the key
It's just you and me
Everyone will make mistakes
And I know I have
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave
Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
Crept through the curtains as quick as the cold winds
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait
The passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay
I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave
Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
A word I say
My cries fall upon her deaf ears
More tears
Let me in, please, it's cold
I'm freezing out here
I miss you, my dear
You're all his and I'm all yours
Like it or not, I'm all you've got
Everyone will make mistakes
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave
Light cuts through the clouds
And haunts me like bad dreams
Outside, looking in
I'm feeling lost and cold as a sin
A shred of a hope, a little bit of sweetness
Anything please, except for defeat
If I could, I'd lock you up and toss out the key
It's just you and me
Everyone will make mistakes
And I know I have
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave
Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
Crept through the curtains as quick as the cold winds
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait
The passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay
I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin
Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave
Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
A word I say

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'

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This reminds me of my old boyfriend. ... :-|
