You didn't close the door
Left a crack open
I couldn't ignore the faint possibility
Of having hope in this insanity
That we still could be
But we're stuck floating in between

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
To let the sparks die out
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You

Our eyes were closed
With hearts open wide
Dismissed every rule to abide by
Our bodies undressed the layers of shy
Revealing the truth that was buried inside
Filled up feelings
That now are bursting at the seams

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
To let the sparks die out
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You

Unsure of what are my dreams it seems
You have stolen my slumber
And awakened another
Life within me that is better than any other
Reaching endless heights in never ending nights
That can't be seen, put to bed this dream
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
To let the sparks die out
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You

    My Interpretation

    So i interpreted this whole thing in my words:

    When you broke up with me, you didn't stop being my best friend. Even though it was over, I still had hope that we'd get back together, but that it would be hard, considering we were just friends by then.

    I'm gonna isolate myself, and get angry at myself for missing you so much and I'm gonna throw anything and everything away that reminds me of you or us. We loved and we loved hard, not paying attention to the future We didn't have a normal relationship and we told secrets we couldnt even tell our closest relatives. The secrets that were left unshared are now trying to escape my head. I'm gonna isolate myself and get angry at myself for missing you so much and I'm gonna trow away anything and everything that reminds me of you or us. I can't even dream anymore- you even took my sleep away from me. And now, you're with someone else, and gonna end up hurting them, too. I'm an amazing person, and I'm gonna do great things, but because of you, I'm never going to realize this any time soon. I'm gonna isolate myself and get angry at myself for missing you so much and I'm gonna throw away anything and everything that reminds me of you or us.\

    I hope you guys liked my interpretation and I guess it was easy for me to do so because I'm going through a breakup and it fucking hurts really bad. I thought we loved eachother but he wasn't very glad with me. It was my first relationship and we were together for four months. And I found this song, thinking, "wow.... This is gonna pass, because someone went through exACTLY what I'm going through. And they'e fine now. Not the same person as before, but they're fine enough to the point where they can say they have moved on."

    Anywho, hope you enjoyed and it's okay- they didn't deserve you, anyways.

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”

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/

American Town
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.
