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 have seen it this time
but I am older now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me solutions
but I am sober now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me new propositions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to knowever think to ask me how or why
well offer me new institutions
some place I can clear up my mind
open up and swallow this mother fucker
you will not
you will not survive
I have seen the difference
but I am older now
well you will take what you want from me
but you will never win
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to know
ever think to ask me how or why
I have seen it now
I never will come down
wish I could hold the photograph
yet this scene is old
I never felt this cold
wish I could hold from me...
now
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible
ever think to ask me how or why
offer me new institutions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
but I am older now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me solutions
but I am sober now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me new propositions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to knowever think to ask me how or why
well offer me new institutions
some place I can clear up my mind
open up and swallow this mother fucker
you will not
you will not survive
I have seen the difference
but I am older now
well you will take what you want from me
but you will never win
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to know
ever think to ask me how or why
I have seen it now
I never will come down
wish I could hold the photograph
yet this scene is old
I never felt this cold
wish I could hold from me...
now
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible
ever think to ask me how or why
offer me new institutions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Great song. I really like onesidezero, this guys got great lyircs.
