This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
Chorus:
O O O O
The look and the sound of the voice
O O O O
They try, they try
O O O O
The shape and the power of the voice
O O O O
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
(Chorus)
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
(Chorus)
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
Chorus:
O O O O
The look and the sound of the voice
O O O O
They try, they try
O O O O
The shape and the power of the voice
O O O O
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
(Chorus)
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
(Chorus)

Hayalperest
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 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'

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
It is about the process of finding inspiration to write a song.
The lyrics come from within, hence "native" to him, and mean something to him, hence "all speech directed to me".
He draws from his emotions and past experiences that he has "seen/heard/felt/lost once before"
The "Voice" has double meaning: the narrative voice of the lyrics, and the voice of the singer (and by extension, the performance by the band).
"they try, they try" refers to the lyrics, and/or the performers, trying to convey the songwriter's message/story/artistic vision/etc.
About the terrible impact that authority in general has on any individual. Unlike The Clash, and other such socialy active bands, Ultravox songs were about elemental phenomena in life. And also from an aspect of psyche. Or whatever.
It's about Propaganda. It's strange how people never see politics in songs
land of make believe by Bucks Fizz was an anti Margaret Thatcher song
