I hear the sirens oh no
Coming to remind me to go
Silence is golden I know
Until the silence is known

And the plans were carried on
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down

When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street

Looking for an echo
Searchin' for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there

And the clouds began to break
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it's done and you gotta move on
'Cause it's never gonna be the same

Doesn't anybody know?
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn't anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
