This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I want to know what he knows
I want to feel what he felt
I want to go where he's been
I want to know what he knows
I want to hear your secrets
I want you and I want him
Cause you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and the edge in your affection broke my skin
but I want to know what he knows
and I want to touch what he touched
and call me by his name
Cause I know you made a promise
and told him he's your lover
make me feel the same
Cause you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and I'm feeling so much younger than my years
and I want to know what he knows
and I want to go where he's been
I want you and I want him
So you said "go find some trouble"
and you would do the same
and we opened up our hearts and we could change
but you smell apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
I want to know what he knows
I want to feel what he felt
I want to touch what he touched
I want to go where he's been
I want you and I want him
I want to feel what he felt
I want to go where he's been
I want to know what he knows
I want to hear your secrets
I want you and I want him
Cause you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and the edge in your affection broke my skin
but I want to know what he knows
and I want to touch what he touched
and call me by his name
Cause I know you made a promise
and told him he's your lover
make me feel the same
Cause you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and I'm feeling so much younger than my years
and I want to know what he knows
and I want to go where he's been
I want you and I want him
So you said "go find some trouble"
and you would do the same
and we opened up our hearts and we could change
but you smell apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
and you smell like apple candy
and we're singing hallelujah
I want to know what he knows
I want to feel what he felt
I want to touch what he touched
I want to go where he's been
I want you and I want him

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 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.

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.
To me, this song is about having two simultaneous crushes on a girl and her boyfriend, and being unsure which one you want more. I like my interpretation too much to consider any other, but it hasn't been mentioned so I'm throwing it out there.
