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”
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me
Doctor, I don't know what I've done
There's more to this than my
ex-love and my ex-limbs could ever in my life begin to explain
everytime I think of her
and what went on that night
I don't see it, instead I hear it
A song so awful and so perfect
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me
Doctor, I don't know what I'm gonna do
I need this song to be shouted out
and to be heard by everyone
It's like each word and
every chord refuses to be ignored
This is bigger than me,
but with no hands and even less skill
I don't know how it ever will come out
Doctor, I think it's her I hear
It's always been,
but if this pain can be arranged
in such a way to bring out beauty
then why and who am I to stop it?
I'll bring her back and I won't stop until it's done
Until these nightmares are done
I need her
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and, of you and me
I need her
I need this
The set is on to sing themselves, we just sing along
So if death's the answer than the question is the trigger
and I'm just a firing pin
Yeah I'm just a messenger
So if death's the answer than the question is the trigger
and I'm just a firing pin
And I'm just a messenger
doomed to death and maybe delivery
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me
Doctor, I don't know what I've done
There's more to this than my
ex-love and my ex-limbs could ever in my life begin to explain

I don't see it, instead I hear it
A song so awful and so perfect
Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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

Page

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I love Kara's vocals on this track. Intresting that you say that[if im walking], my friend mentioned that, but never noticed it. I am listening to this song now, and will listen to a few other songs to see if this is true.
