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”
"Poison Trees"
The roots of the matter run miles deep
This is the era of eternal sleep
Please everybody now but please be advised
Nothing's going away just cuz' you're closing your eyes
This is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison trees
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel my bones creak
I know you can feel it too
But you're just too scared
Are you just too scared to speak?
The wire is tapped now and crackling hot
Words from the burning screen will make your stomach knot
Fear the hopeless and lock the door
Sweet safety praise the lord
The loud voices got the signals locked
All the past heroes now outlined in chalk
Well that'll teach the world to not walk the walk
Show your face out in the light and hear the pistols pop
Well.. this is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison tree
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel it in my bones
I know you can feel it too
But you think that you're
You think that you're all alone
Old tactics leave you face down on the bricks
This new dog knows some terrible tricks
Turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist
That's a lesson well learned back in 1966
This is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison trees
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel my bones creak
I know you can feel it too
But you just too scared
Are you just too scared to..
A storm it is coming down
And I can feel it in my bones
I know you can feel it too
But you think that you're
You think that you're all alone
"Do Wrong Right" (2009)
The roots of the matter run miles deep

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This is about the financial crisis the character in the story is struggling through see my theory on all hail i think the whole album is a story
