This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Midnight is a palace
And I fear I have been dishonest
Leaning pencilly against the kitchen sink
I am ashamed of everything
All the love that I've abandoned
All the friends I took for granted
Now I drink my troubles neat
As you wait for me to come to sleep
Off in the back bedroom you lay still as a death sentence
Weighing heavily upon the inmates mind
I am astranged of everything
In these halls of whorey shadows
Of a life lived incomplete
We could of had a family
A littered legacy
Now instead of photo albums
It's a house of record sleeps
And it's coming down
Up above our heads I hear the creaking of a footstep
And the tick-tock of the cuckoo clock
I am afraid of everything
And as I peak around the corner
I spot a spectre with his scythe
Just another senseless lie
To end in one fell swoop
I was certain I was special
I guess my neurons hit the truth
I wish you'd lie to me tonight
Hold me and tell me I'm not so bad
Tell me I made some sort of difference
That our love is more than chance
Oh, I am coming down
And I fear I have been dishonest
Leaning pencilly against the kitchen sink
I am ashamed of everything
All the love that I've abandoned
All the friends I took for granted
Now I drink my troubles neat
As you wait for me to come to sleep
Off in the back bedroom you lay still as a death sentence
Weighing heavily upon the inmates mind
I am astranged of everything
In these halls of whorey shadows
Of a life lived incomplete
We could of had a family
A littered legacy
Now instead of photo albums
It's a house of record sleeps
And it's coming down
Up above our heads I hear the creaking of a footstep
And the tick-tock of the cuckoo clock
I am afraid of everything
And as I peak around the corner
I spot a spectre with his scythe
Just another senseless lie
To end in one fell swoop
I was certain I was special
I guess my neurons hit the truth
I wish you'd lie to me tonight
Hold me and tell me I'm not so bad
Tell me I made some sort of difference
That our love is more than chance
Oh, I am coming down

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'

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
According to Tim himself: "We put the mastering folks through a minor hell, trying to get the closing second of the album to pair up seamlessly with the opening track, again, to create the loop, to feel as though the album has no beginning or end (but you gotta play it on repeat!). We also had the grand plan of creating one of those closed threads at the end of the vinyl version, so that the final rhythm of the song would play on indefinitely. Alas, we didn’t do sufficient planning in advance, the measures of the song didn’t line up properly with the length of the proposed closed thread."
