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.
Bounce off the walls
Valentine, have your fun
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
Light up the floor
With your moves, Valentine
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
Do your worst, worst, worst
Do your worst, worst, worst
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for me, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
Stand in the puddles of the disco ball's glow
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
There, just like that
There, you're doing it again
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
And what's worst, worst, worst
There's no words, words, words
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for you, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for me, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
You're a gold mine, gold mine
Valentine, have your fun
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
Light up the floor
With your moves, Valentine
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
Do your worst, worst, worst
Do your worst, worst, worst
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for me, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
Stand in the puddles of the disco ball's glow
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
There, just like that
There, you're doing it again
Come on, be the one
Come on, be the one
And what's worst, worst, worst
There's no words, words, words
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for you, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
Valkyrie, don't go home
It's not right, not right
Leave with the lights up
It's half for me, half for love
You're a gold mine, gold mine
You're a gold mine, gold mine

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'

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Encouraging someone to go out and have the time of their life. That person means a lot to the narrator (you're a gold mine) and they want the "valkyrie" to have some fun and not to leave until the lights go up. Pretty straightforward apart from the weird title.
But you don't hear the word "Valkyrie" come up all that often, and it has a very specific meaning -- one of twelve maidens that accompanied souls of warriors to Valhalla. So there's some overtone of death -- if not of a person, then of something -- a relationship, time with a person, etc. So the singers are pleading with the Valkyrie not to go back home, because when she does, whatever it is goes with her and is over.<br /> <br /> But I think part of the story of the song -- if you'll excuse me for getting this heavy -- might actually be in the story of the most famous of Valkyrie of all time -- Brunnhilde, from Wagner's ring cycle. (The one usually portrayed as a fat woman wearing a hat with horns on her head.) The cycle -- four operas in total -- circles around mythological Gold in the Rhine river, which can be made into a magic Ring that will let its bearer rule the world -- but only by someone who first renounces love. (Hence the stuff about "you're a gold mine" -- as in, you don't need the river gold.) The opera cycle goes through everything -- questioning faith in the gods, potential end of heaven and earth...Wagner didn't mess around. But in the second opera of the cycle, Brunnhilde is sent down from Valhalla, ordered by the Wotan, the leader of the gods, to take Sieglinde away from Siegmund (both his human kids...read the wikipedia summary). But Brunnhilde's too moved their love to do it -- and ends up losing her divinity and being sent to live in a ring of fire for it (kind of like a roller disco ring, maybe, in a whimsically modern view). <br /> <br /> However, I looked online, and there also appears to be a drag queen out there named Valkyrie Valentine. So...go figure.
