In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

駆け引きは無いさ そうだよ
夜をぬける
ねじ込むさ最後に
差し引きゼロさ そうだよ
日々を削る
心をそっと開いて ギュっと
引き寄せたら
届くよきっと 伝うよもっと さあ
Ah
生き急いで搾り取って
縺れる足 だけど前より ずっとそう 遠くへ
奪い取って掴んだって
君じゃないなら意味は無いのさ
だから もっともっともっと 遥か彼方

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/
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Yea, I love this song. They are either going somewhere or more likely striving to do something to reach a goal. "We'll whittle the days away" makes me think that they are forge their own destinies. "If it isn't you, then what's the point?" That line confuses me. I'm wanting it to mean "If it isn't (with) you then what's the point?" cuz you wouldn't work hard at something next to someone you love (and I think the feeling is mutual) just to obtain that person. But that was me brainstorming... Now I've got a question. Somebody please tell me what the last sentence means. The "painted all in white" part. It seems a little out there. Again, love the song.
@Orange Morendo The first part is not about being with someone or obtaining them, the singer is actually talking about you, that if "you are not the one in your destiny to achieve your dreams, then what is the point?" By "the point" he means, if you can't do what you set out to do, even then you just keep going, you don't stop, you just keep moving forward. The second part is very connected to the first part. The second part which is "painted all in white", it means that all in white is basically your pureness, now if you put any color on white, it will show, unlike other colors. If you put blue on red, it will become orange, if you put blue on white, it will stay white. So basically, the singer is telling us that your life will change you, even if it doesn't mean something that certain experience [color] will be a part of you. The whole song is like that, to keep moving forward through the bad and the good so that your white life is colored with different colors, basically to put it in one word. The whole song screams be "notorious".
