This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
See me down, see me out
See those wings you gave me
Watch me fly across the sea
Count the ways you made me
Walked in circles, walked the line
Tripped through tangled heart strings
Made an enemy of time
Made a mess of all things..
All things
I have thought and think about
What and how to tell you
I have lived it seems without
Learning how to be true
But I meant every word I said
From deranged to divine
And I would do it all again
As if for the first time..
The first time
The hurt that the head forgets, the heart will always remember
The hold that the hand regrets, the heart remembers forever
I am sorry, I am so
For the things you don't know
And as for the things you do
I am sorry for those too
Out of every broken heart
Broken rule and promise
I have made a rescue raft
And sail towards you on it..
On it
The hurt that the head forgets, the heart will always remember
The hold that the hand regrets, the heart remembers forever
Do you do you want me
Do you know how to show
How to show these things
I just didn't want to have to ask
Just didn't want to have to
Least of all people
You
Should you find someone with whom
There's no shiver or shout
With whom never to assume
To much rain or a drought
Scratch your name into her heart
Scratch away all the doubt
Scratch my memory from your brain
I'll scratch her fucking eyes out..
Eyes out
I was put together wrong
Still I was made for you
When our stitches come undone
We come together like glue..
Like glue
See those wings you gave me
Watch me fly across the sea
Count the ways you made me
Walked in circles, walked the line
Tripped through tangled heart strings
Made an enemy of time
Made a mess of all things..
All things
I have thought and think about
What and how to tell you
I have lived it seems without
Learning how to be true
But I meant every word I said
From deranged to divine
And I would do it all again
As if for the first time..
The first time
The hurt that the head forgets, the heart will always remember
The hold that the hand regrets, the heart remembers forever
I am sorry, I am so
For the things you don't know
And as for the things you do
I am sorry for those too
Out of every broken heart
Broken rule and promise
I have made a rescue raft
And sail towards you on it..
On it
The hurt that the head forgets, the heart will always remember
The hold that the hand regrets, the heart remembers forever
Do you do you want me
Do you know how to show
How to show these things
I just didn't want to have to ask
Just didn't want to have to
Least of all people
You
Should you find someone with whom
There's no shiver or shout
With whom never to assume
To much rain or a drought
Scratch your name into her heart
Scratch away all the doubt
Scratch my memory from your brain
I'll scratch her fucking eyes out..
Eyes out
I was put together wrong
Still I was made for you
When our stitches come undone
We come together like glue..
Like glue

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”

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
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.
To me this song is about a girl reminiscing about a past special relationship that didn't work out. She was in times lost, in times walking the line, and while doing so she tripped in the ups and downs of it. And probably because she was afraid of the future she made a mess of all things.
Her mistakes, that she only realized after a while, haunt her. And she's sorry for what is known and for what still isn't. She's never learned how to be true, which means here - I think - unafraid, selfless. Still, despite all that, she meant everything, from her crazy outbursts to her pure love. And she would go through the good and bad parts all over again.
She has a hard time forgetting even though the pain has subsided. Still longs for what's gone, and wonders if it's mutual. And truly regrets losing of all people, this person.
She's gonna be jealous if this person finds a more stable relationship. And in the end of the song, there's some longing. Maybe, maybe when their wounds are healed, they will be able to be together again.
