Build on a loss to injury.
Step back from a fallen dream.
I stay and won't go easy.
I stay for My Desire.

My arm falls and strength is fading from my veins.
I cling to a dream that once ruled my world.
Been gone for so long without a second thought.
I have misled but I won't let this wreck my world.

That I have left without a trace.
It takes all I have to forget.
I wanted nothing more than to have my day.
This dream still lives inside of.

Hold on to every emotion.
Go further with every step.
I asked for with every wish, but now I find it almost gone.
Misguided, another day has come and gone without the truth.

But this will never fade my world.
That I have left without a trace.
It takes all I have to forget.
I wanted nothing more than to have my day.

This dream still lives inside of me.
This will never fade.
This dream will never fade!
As each day goes on the chance for my day slips away.

I will not forget my home, my world, my home.

    My Interpretation

    I get the impression from the riffs/breakdowns and title that this song is based on not losing sight of your dreams (desires). No matter the circumstances, the setbacks etc. just keep pushing on with an effort to realise your dreams (desires).

    This was the first Unearth song I ever heard. The intro and the breakdowns really set such a high bar (which many have since tried to attain, but few have succeeded). A great song for you to introduce someone to Unearth!!

    Just raw energy and determination!

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/

Plastic Bag
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.
