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”
Over the airwaves
Under the Radar
Say it again it's not sinking in
Losing transmissions
Family traditions
You can lead a boy to water
But you can't make him listen to you
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Turn the radio down
The signal's fading
Try to listen
Losing transmissions
Winter of '99
Borrowing all the time
Robbed Peter then we sucker punched Paul
Temporarily disconnected
Worse than you expected
Sorry but I'm tuning you out of my addled brain
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playing
Turn the radio down
The signal's fading
Try to listen
I'm losing transmissions
Broken records [play for free]
Keeps playing
Are you calling my name
I can't hear you
50 yard stare
Is there anyone there
We cruise the stars
But the world ain't ours anymore
Play it again
I always blow it
The check's in the mail
But the cops don't know it
Sorry but I'm tuning you out of my addled brain
I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Turn the radio down
The signal's fading
Signal's breaking
I can't hear a single word you're saying
When I'm playing
Shout out an alert
[in the flaking]
Signal's breaking
I can use [an awaken]
But I tried to listen

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
