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”
On Vineland pass the candle shrine that burns on every night
For someone
She lets herself go like an angel in the snow
She lays down on her back
Down on her back she goes
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
On Vineland pass the candle shrine that melts into the street design - she waits
For someone
Tonight she'll give herself away
She'll break apart all by her, by herself
So easy how we come undone
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
She pulls me in and strips me down
She pulls me in and turns me out
She pulls me in and strips me down to the ground
On Vineland pass the candle shrine that melts into the street design - she waits
Tonight she'll give herself away
She'll break apart all by her, by herself
So easy how we come undone
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will the burn for me
For someone
She lets herself go like an angel in the snow
She lays down on her back
Down on her back she goes
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
On Vineland pass the candle shrine that melts into the street design - she waits
For someone
Tonight she'll give herself away
She'll break apart all by her, by herself
So easy how we come undone
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
She pulls me in and strips me down
She pulls me in and turns me out
She pulls me in and strips me down to the ground
On Vineland pass the candle shrine that melts into the street design - she waits
Tonight she'll give herself away
She'll break apart all by her, by herself
So easy how we come undone
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me
Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will they burn for me
Take me over
Will the burn for me

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/
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.
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.
Thanks to all for providing meaning to this fantastic song by Dishwalla. I had heard the song many times and always thought the song was about prostitution due to the lyrics of her waiting for someone on the street and laying down on her back. So it was sort of depressing but so great to listen to. However, I had never actually read the lyrics themselves until today. Now I understand the song to relate to death via the candle shrine which makes it much more depressing. After reading the lyrics today and all of the above interpretations I had a long cry. I was not sure why the lyrics now touched such a nerve with me until I remembered something I not thought about for many years --- that was the death of my first son many years ago. Even then I couldn't identify why these lyrics triggered such a response from a man who shows little to no emotions. The answer was that my son would have been 30 years old this very month, a fact that I had completely forgot about until today. They say that a parent should never outlive their children as losing them is too damn painful.
