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.
you say it's all been said before
well that just fucking shows
that you still have no idea
of what this means to us
you lost sight of something
that you once lived for
so you come down on us
for reminding you
of what you used to be
you lost sight... you goals changed
can't bring us down... our spirit remains
we'll keep on spreading this message
that needs to get through
you think we're going to slow down
because of negative words from you
you said we'd never make it this far
and we're aiming for so much more
we're coming back louder and
stronger than before
you lost sight... your goals changed
can't bring us down... our spirit remains
you lost sight. your goals, they changed
i know we're not saying anything
all that new
but it sitll needs to be said
because of people just like you
maybe when all the drugs are gone
and the streets are fucking clean
then maybe we'll stop
but until then this is still our scene
well that just fucking shows
that you still have no idea
of what this means to us
you lost sight of something
that you once lived for
so you come down on us
for reminding you
of what you used to be
you lost sight... you goals changed
can't bring us down... our spirit remains
we'll keep on spreading this message
that needs to get through
you think we're going to slow down
because of negative words from you
you said we'd never make it this far
and we're aiming for so much more
we're coming back louder and
stronger than before
you lost sight... your goals changed
can't bring us down... our spirit remains
you lost sight. your goals, they changed
i know we're not saying anything
all that new
but it sitll needs to be said
because of people just like you
maybe when all the drugs are gone
and the streets are fucking clean
then maybe we'll stop
but until then this is still our scene

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.
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.
