This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
The kids sing out in defiance against a world that has forgotten them
And the media ask, "why are the kids so angry?"
Afterwards they'll go back home,
To their uncaring fathers and misunderstanding mothers
And they'll dream of a time when they're back again,
With all their friends, at another show
Where they will sing, "These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
16, and all alone, searching for a place to call her home
Thinking about a bottle or maybe even worse!
But she passed on self-destruction when she found a better place,
At the show, with the kids, the excitement of change
And singing along with every kid in the crowd,
She breathed in deep and she sang out loud...
"These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
He was never called, "cool," No, he never fit in,
'Cause he thought for himself and he went against the trends
But the abuse at school was finally setting in - yeah...
Till the day he found a place to go
With the OTHER PUNK ROCKERS AT THE PUNK ROCK SHOW!
Shoulder to shoulder with his new allies,
He forget about school as tears came to his eyes...
And he sang "These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
Sitting under the corner light, my six string in my hand
Playing my songs all by myself, thinking,
"no one out there could understand!"
But it wasn't too long before I realized I was wrong
And I found myself, singing from a stage,
A chorus of voices singing along...
And we sing...
"These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!".
Yeah we sing...
"These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget...we will never forget!"
And the media ask, "why are the kids so angry?"
Afterwards they'll go back home,
To their uncaring fathers and misunderstanding mothers
And they'll dream of a time when they're back again,
With all their friends, at another show
Where they will sing, "These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
16, and all alone, searching for a place to call her home
Thinking about a bottle or maybe even worse!
But she passed on self-destruction when she found a better place,
At the show, with the kids, the excitement of change
And singing along with every kid in the crowd,
She breathed in deep and she sang out loud...
"These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
He was never called, "cool," No, he never fit in,
'Cause he thought for himself and he went against the trends
But the abuse at school was finally setting in - yeah...
Till the day he found a place to go
With the OTHER PUNK ROCKERS AT THE PUNK ROCK SHOW!
Shoulder to shoulder with his new allies,
He forget about school as tears came to his eyes...
And he sang "These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget!"
Sitting under the corner light, my six string in my hand
Playing my songs all by myself, thinking,

And I found myself, singing from a stage,

"These are the days...These are the days...

Yeah we sing...
"These are the days...These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget...we will never forget!"

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/
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.
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.
I like this song, Justin Sane is good at writing lyrics and getting the point across in song ... his voice is rugid and not quite smoothed over but that's what I love about it ... plus this is a god song just to chill to ... it describes what people feel and tells a story at the same time ...
