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.
(you gotta fuckin' get down here)
It's a fact I know it
There's somethings I can't live down
Yes indeed I've blown it
It's a black eye on the gang
No one's gonna take the pair of scissors
Stuck in my arm from you (woh oh woh oh)
No one's gonna try to repair the
Messages that you pushed me to (woh oh woh oh)
(some testing)
Look out, falling boy comes down
He's about to take you out (oh everybody now)
As the wind is screaming thru his ears
It's a very private sound (oh everybody now)
No one likes me when I'm shy (woh oh woh oh)
Caught up in a bet
I've lost again
Caught up in the trap I don't wanna (woh oh woh oh)
Be in no more
You forget I'm awake
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
You forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Clear so it must be a mirage)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (I wanna breathe in blue, too. May I?)
I want to breath in blue
It's a fact I know it
There's somethings I can't live down
Yes indeed I've blown it
It's a black eye on the gang
No one's gonna take the pair of scissors
Stuck in my arm from you (woh oh woh oh)
No one's gonna try to repair the
Messages that you pushed me to (woh oh woh oh)
(some testing)
Look out, falling boy comes down
He's about to take you out (oh everybody now)
As the wind is screaming thru his ears
It's a very private sound (oh everybody now)
No one likes me when I'm shy (woh oh woh oh)
Caught up in a bet
I've lost again
Caught up in the trap I don't wanna (woh oh woh oh)
Be in no more
You forget I'm awake
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
You forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Clear so it must be a mirage)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (I wanna breathe in blue, too. May I?)
I want to breath in blue

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/

Ho Hum means "boring and dull: routine" according to answers.com. Maybe the "I forget I'm awake" bit could mean his life is the same old routine everyday to the point he feels his life is a dream. He's wasting time just living, he's "caught up in a trap [he] doesn't want to be in no more." His only way out of the trap is to kill himself.
