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.
On some nights you'll find me falling.
I am formless, I am shapeless.
And on some nights i am better left alone.
You take it all in from some severed state of stasis.
You scream "wake up!" inside your own body
But you're buried, or suffocating, or worse.
Tonight it's worse. Tonight the screaming hurts.
Tonight I'm wrapped up in her.
We find each other under blankets as warm as summer.
We are inseparable.
Our bodies know what they're for and we give in,
We explore each other, desperate for something inseparable.
This coma kiss is infinite, and I may take your tongue if you stay.
We are this dream - fluid and intricate. We made it that way.
Every nightmare needs influence, and your body turning blue as you lay directly next to me colours this on in blueish hues and darker grays.
Everyday when I awake, I'm shaking or worse.
Tonight it's worse. Tonight the screaming hurts...
Tonight I'm wrapped up in her.
We find each other under blankets as warm as summer.
We are inseparable.
Our bodies know what they're for and we give in,
We explore each other, desperate for something inseparable.
Last night as I was wrapped up in her
I drowned her body under blankets as warm as summer.
We were inseparable.
So this is what has become of everything that I loved.
The betrayal and the blood became inseparable
From the most beautiful nightmare I've ever had.
Completely inseparable.
I see her hair spread across the floor
Entangled in the telephone cord.
Our favourite songs been repeating all night.
Someone call an ambulance because somethings not right.
I am formless, I am shapeless.
And on some nights i am better left alone.
You take it all in from some severed state of stasis.
You scream "wake up!" inside your own body
But you're buried, or suffocating, or worse.
Tonight it's worse. Tonight the screaming hurts.
Tonight I'm wrapped up in her.
We find each other under blankets as warm as summer.
We are inseparable.
Our bodies know what they're for and we give in,
We explore each other, desperate for something inseparable.
This coma kiss is infinite, and I may take your tongue if you stay.
We are this dream - fluid and intricate. We made it that way.
Every nightmare needs influence, and your body turning blue as you lay directly next to me colours this on in blueish hues and darker grays.
Everyday when I awake, I'm shaking or worse.
Tonight it's worse. Tonight the screaming hurts...
Tonight I'm wrapped up in her.
We find each other under blankets as warm as summer.
We are inseparable.
Our bodies know what they're for and we give in,
We explore each other, desperate for something inseparable.
Last night as I was wrapped up in her
I drowned her body under blankets as warm as summer.
We were inseparable.
So this is what has become of everything that I loved.
The betrayal and the blood became inseparable
From the most beautiful nightmare I've ever had.
Completely inseparable.
I see her hair spread across the floor
Entangled in the telephone cord.
Our favourite songs been repeating all night.
Someone call an ambulance because somethings not right.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
I didn't take any time to read your comments :P. I don't know if anyone caught this, from the first two songs i heard i linked yeah know i know to dreaming.
