Witness shame's parade
The pain of blame repaid
It's fucking hopeless
Accusations and denial

Hopeless, demon of another day
Colorless, stoned, solid grey
Emptiness, of promises I made
So faithless, the tenants long betrayed

Walk the faded line
Cursed crawl of time
Silence, the only promise ever kept

Familiar touch
A ritual to numb the cut
Salvation in Vice
Anguish is realizing what could have been, but never was
It's emptiness that fills the cup
Devotion in the method of my fall

Pointless, futility continuing
Endless, flowing corrupted vein

Walk the faded line
Cursed crawl of time
Walk the faded line
Cursed crawl of time
Silence, the only promise ever kept

It's fucking hopeless
Hopeless
Hopeless
It's fucking hopeless
Hopeless

    Maybe the dude's so used to being high he feels weird when he's not high. Thus, the faded line between being under the influence of a drug and reality.

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”

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.
