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.
I see you shaking slowly, moving across the room
I got that 20-cycle-pound in my kick o' doom
When all the club is bouncing, you will be bouncing, too
And when I meet you in the back, you know just what to do
I see you drinking heavy with all your hometown girls
I just came in from Tokyo and been around the world
When all the club is slamming, you will be slamming, too
And when I meet you in the back I want ...
I want some coke for my ass - get high with class
Go to the max and put my stack on the groupieÃs rack
Coke for my ass - no shitty grass
Pass me the Jack and I'll be back, because
I want some coke for my ass - get high with class
Go to the max and put my stack on the groupieÃs rack
Coke for my ass and music for the masses
Pass me the Jack and I'll be back, because ...
I see you with your buddies, testosterone parade
Seems like you're nailed right to the bar, just like the old cliche
Another round of drinks and you're the one who paid
One more girl is passing by - that's why you never get laid
You step to me, just to say "Hi", IÃm talking to these babes
You say you like my latest track, the one that just got played
A little handshake with a photo, you don't want to stay
And when you're back there at the bar I want ...
I got that 20-cycle-pound in my kick o' doom
When all the club is bouncing, you will be bouncing, too
And when I meet you in the back, you know just what to do
I see you drinking heavy with all your hometown girls
I just came in from Tokyo and been around the world
When all the club is slamming, you will be slamming, too
And when I meet you in the back I want ...
I want some coke for my ass - get high with class
Go to the max and put my stack on the groupieÃs rack
Coke for my ass - no shitty grass
Pass me the Jack and I'll be back, because
I want some coke for my ass - get high with class
Go to the max and put my stack on the groupieÃs rack
Coke for my ass and music for the masses
Pass me the Jack and I'll be back, because ...
I see you with your buddies, testosterone parade
Seems like you're nailed right to the bar, just like the old cliche
Another round of drinks and you're the one who paid
One more girl is passing by - that's why you never get laid
You step to me, just to say "Hi", IÃm talking to these babes
You say you like my latest track, the one that just got played
A little handshake with a photo, you don't want to stay
And when you're back there at the bar I want ...

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/

Amazing

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.
