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”
Here we go
You assume that you're my best friend
No life, just consume what you attach to
Failure, now hang on others and try to fill the hollow
Pathetic, weak, laughable
You live to follow wantless admiration
Shameless you dig for status, on your knees crawl
Validation, becomes an all consuming goal
Intruding nature, demanding one to play the role
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You've got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong
Now dot the map, bring the gifts you offer
As a payment for your audience
Stand up, worship, bow down to your knees
Entrenched within a culture that exploits the offers
Relish in the excess
Pathetic your punishment we must endure
Validation becomes an all consuming goal
Intruding nature, demanding one to play the role
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You've got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong
You know that trust can not be bought
And still know doubt of your return
You can't pretend to know my heart
And no we're not of the same cloth
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You're got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong
You assume that you're my best friend
No life, just consume what you attach to
Failure, now hang on others and try to fill the hollow
Pathetic, weak, laughable
You live to follow wantless admiration
Shameless you dig for status, on your knees crawl
Validation, becomes an all consuming goal
Intruding nature, demanding one to play the role
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You've got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong
Now dot the map, bring the gifts you offer
As a payment for your audience
Stand up, worship, bow down to your knees
Entrenched within a culture that exploits the offers
Relish in the excess
Pathetic your punishment we must endure
Validation becomes an all consuming goal
Intruding nature, demanding one to play the role
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You've got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong
You know that trust can not be bought
And still know doubt of your return
You can't pretend to know my heart
And no we're not of the same cloth
You're not worth my time
Ya damn hanger on
You're got a long way to go
You're still dead wrong

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/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Am I like the only one who likes ATR or something? No one else is posting on these songs..... I thought this song was CRAZY!!! I love the higher pitched screaming in it, just added a perfect edge to it. It makes me think of someone who you broke up with that won't let you go and is always sticking around. not only to you but to everyone else apparently. "You assume that you're my best friend No life, just consume what you attach to Failure, now hang on others and try to ill the hollow."
Also it sounds like someone who just can't get any recoginition from anyone else. Sounds like their trying to get into some "Cool" group or whatever. Trying everything they can to join. "Pathetic, weak, laughable You live to follow wantless admiration Shameless you dig for status, on your knees crawl."
Thats what I think at least. ROCK ON ATR!!!
