Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

The bitter taste of rotten fruit is vomit in the mouth
The taste is sour and is spit upon the ground
And left to rot, decay and spoil
Rotten apple forbidden fruit
Rotten apple forbidden fruit
REPENT!!

Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the ground
Watch the insects eat the rotten apples on the GROUND

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

“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.
This song is pretty odd in it's own right, being (to my knowledge) unreleased, and reletivley unknown. I just find it interesting that the bit about Jesus' return is heard from the right speaker, perhaps symbolic of right-handed religion such as Christianity. The overall tone of the song is absolutley horrific and paniced, so i get the feeling that he's speaking of how said right handed religions focus on faith through scare tactics. Repent for your sins or suffer for them.
This song is pretty self explanitory, but it's actually pretty good...the repent screaming comes out of nowhere from this hollow sounding tune, to blaring guitars...it's great...not sure when it was written, though...
Bad News, this isn't even a Manson song. It's not even called forbidden fruit. it's rotten apples by a Christian death Metal band called rackets and drapes. It does sound very much like Manson though. This Sucks...
