Open sky open ether open rise up inside
I see it its true yeah it's true
Open sky open ether
All rise up in ether all rise up inside
Believe it it's true yeah its true

Open sky open ether open and rise up inside it
I see it it's true yeah its true
All rise elitists all rise up inside

All this shit
I'll listen
All this shit
I'll listen I'll listen
All this shit
All this shit I'll abdicate it
I'll work it out across the nation
I'm breathing baby I'll listen
All this shit I'll work it out

Open sky open ether open and rise up inside
I see it its true yeah its true
Open sky open ether all rise up inside
I see it its true yeah your though

All this shit
I'll listen
All this shit
I'll work it out
All this shit in the nation
I'm breathing but I'll say shit
Oh you really pity me
'Cause I'll take you out

    Alright this is entirely my interpretation, but I think its exactly what its about...:

    The author sees ether as something that the person in power or of leadership has poisoned the people with... to numb them to the dictators lies so they will live under him or her(metaphorically of course...for example kind of like Christabella in the movie Silent Hill)

    and they are rising as the ether is fading and they realize (if without the metaphor just simply realizing) that their lives are being lead by someone in a so-called 'higher class' than they are and they are plotting to fight back.. the song says this in the lines, "all rise elitists all rise up inside", and ,"i see it its true yeah, your through"

    Because The Distillers often talk about fighting back in their songs =D

    By the way you forgot the line, "Take it away, Kimi!"..lol I love that part and the bass solo. and you spelled through wrong ; ]

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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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/
