All the same I chased the Cheshire looked for all the same relief
And further more I dug in further more than you can bury deep
It's so sad to see so glad you found your own way out
Arraign your head with crowns invisible high
Remember why you're here is to inspire

For what it's worth it's hollow pantomiming what's it worth to you
To be sure lick the needle to be sure you're truly through
It's so sad to see so glad you found your own way out
Arraign your head with crowns invisible high
Remember why you're here is to inspire

Apart from all of these still waves the fissures open to align
Have some water friend you're looking pale this wasn't part of the design
Beware the storm avoid the frozen rain
Ash the passing dusty collar
Inserting spikes for their embrace
Forgetting why you're here is to inspire

Quit bleeding
It's how they found us
So responsive draining out across the floor
Seeping through the chasm frail and wanting
Needing nothing less than
More curtain vague illusions from the sideshow
To dispel the fantasy
Bleeding always bleeding ever bleeding till the vein runs dry

Here take this nail and push it inside in fuckin' hatter
You'll feel so much better as this nerve dies in true Alice fashion
Drive out the centering

    Seems from the title it's suggesting Alice (in wonderland) was high.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
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.
