Millions of lives lost
so you can fill your pockets
millions of children slaughtered
so you can fill your pockets
when there's blood on the streets
it's time to buy
when there's blood it's time to buy

choices made
the innocent will pay
who are you to say who's to live and who's to die

profit made
millions die today
who are you to say who's to live and who's to die

one day you will burn for your decisions
and what you did with human life
so live it up now

unwanted children
forget about them
as you fill your pockets
profit off a death
you could have stopped it
but you did nothing
only the dead have seen the end of this war

when you look into the eyes of your children
i hope you see the millions you have murdered
when there's blood on the streets
there's blood on your hands

    while you guys both have valid interpretations, there are alot of motifs pointing to children. this song is about the doctors that perform abortions. this is a pro life song. talking about the doctors making a living off of killing unborn cildren. that perfectly explains why he says "when you look into the eyes of your children i hope you see the millions you have murdered"

    about war profiteering in general, or any form of profit that involves other people dying. these lyrics can be applied to so many things when you think about it. the oil industry, the tabacco industry, george bush, iron man...

    To me, I think this song represents abortion and the people that perform and support the act of it.

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/

Amazing
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.

Page
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.
