That I almost got out of my shell
When a pink coloured vision did appear
A girl with something to sell
The girl offered me a pocket size sun

I beheld its innocent smile
She said 3If you want to have fun,
It will take you to heaven for awhile
An inch from the blue skies ceiling

I was touched by her careful fingertips
With the sun we shared our feelings
And I finally kissed her ruby lips
She started to sing a lullaby

Origined from ancient Senoi
3In dream1s realm can no one die
Sleep safe my little boy
The sun cut my eyes like a dropblade

Drew elseworlds in the sand
My memories began to fade
And did suddenly slip through my hands
In the sand I found two wonderful shells

As like as two peas
And I thought I could hear the sound of bluebells
Behind the roaring seven seas

    Pretty sure this is about tripping.

    This is so romantic. I don´t know, if it is about consuming drugs. I´ve always seen this as a tale or a dream. The whole album is like a journey through dreams. Listening to that always calms me down and helps me to relax. By the way: It is perfect to have a romantic evening with the one you love! ;)

    My Interpretation

    I think its about meeting a lady and then having sex while tripping.

    This is a real nice song, reminds me of 60s psychadelic rock like Pink Floyd. Also, the only Tiamat song I like (i'm not really into metal)

    well, I'm pretty certain it's about consuming fun psychadelic drugs, with a possible sex encounter.

    I'm not positive, but I think I've read that this entire album is about psychadelic drugs.

    (from wiki) Actually, the "Senoi" were hunters who made use of lucid dreaming to ensure happiners and mental health. Endlund is describing his experiences. Good song

    "A pocket size sun" sounds to me like a hit of acid.

    I'm not sure what the song means either I've been wondering ever since this album came out and a guy I was in a thing with told me that's what he wanted from me. Thoughts anyone

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/

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.
