Forgiven

Deb Talan

You worry on
Hurting anybody anymore
You worry on
Small comfort
One of us seems not to tremble
You make a rift inside me
Every day
Then you choose to stay
I walk the edge and
Push it wider

You are forgiven
I open all my doors
You are forgiven
What a heart is for
I am no martyr
You give me reason
I try harder
And I wait
For a warmer season
Meanwhile,
You are
Forgiven

I hear a soft noise like a sigh,
A singing
Like a lullaby
It is my heart
It is this wind
That blows through,
Where you held me closer,
Where we whisper
This is
This is true

You are forgiven
I open all my doors
You are forgiven
What a heart is for
I am no martyr
You give me reason
I try harder
And I wait
For a warmer season
Meanwhile,
You are
Forgiven

And it's time
To go
I cannot stay
You cannot know
My love
So dear
Will it be faith
Or fear?

You are forgiven
Open all my doors
You are forgiven
What a heart is for
I am no martyr
You give me reason
I try harder
And I wait
For a warmer season
Meanwhile,
You are
Forgiven

You are
Forgiven

    i guess it's similar to having a problem occur in a friendship/relationship, and the person angry/upset finally forgives the other and everything gets better.

    "you make a rift inside me everyday"

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/

Punchline
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
