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”
Yeah
We don't sink to the bottom, we rise
As your life slowly rots from the inside
Your throne is slowly slipping
From the side of the world
It's down to you in the corner
You've been pushed into
A mold of your father is what you've become
Melting in the neighborhood sun
You're living proof
Misery loves the company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
No, not on me
We don't sink to the bottom, we rise
I've learned to block out the world on the outside
Disconnect, disconnect
It never helps to reflect
It's down to you in the corner
You've been pushed into
A mold of your father's something you never wanted
Melting in the neighborhood
You're living proof
Misery loves the company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
No, not on me
Some are meant to wander
Some are meant to be what they wanted to be
Yeah, I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
Hope it never catches
Here's to feeling seasick
Here's to feeling seasick
While living landlocked
Living proof
Misery loves company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
Here's to feeling seasick
While living landlocked
You're living landlocked
Before the anchor goes up
We don't sink to the bottom, we rise
As your life slowly rots from the inside
Your throne is slowly slipping
From the side of the world
It's down to you in the corner
You've been pushed into
A mold of your father is what you've become
Melting in the neighborhood sun
You're living proof
Misery loves the company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
No, not on me
We don't sink to the bottom, we rise
I've learned to block out the world on the outside
Disconnect, disconnect
It never helps to reflect
It's down to you in the corner
You've been pushed into
A mold of your father's something you never wanted
Melting in the neighborhood
You're living proof
Misery loves the company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
No, not on me
Some are meant to wander
Some are meant to be what they wanted to be
Yeah, I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
Hope it never catches
Here's to feeling seasick
Here's to feeling seasick
While living landlocked
Living proof
Misery loves company
I live how I want
And hope it never catches up on me
Here's to feeling seasick
While living landlocked
You're living landlocked
Before the anchor goes up

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
