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.
In time I will change.
In doubt I've been out.
I'm waiting around the door, trapped in a replay of yesterday.
You, you aren't around at all.
Feels like it's sending me out of my mind.
I'm waiting around the door, waiting for something more, trapped in replay of yesterday.
You, you aren't around at all.
Shot down, no warning.
Remix in the morning.
Stuttering, get it out, try to say something.
Sending me out of my mind.
Stuttering, get it out, try to say something.
Sending me out of my mind.
Shot down, no warning.
Remix in the morning.
Over again and again, it's just sending me out of my mind.
In time I will change.
In doubt I've been out.
I'm waiting around the door, trapped in a replay of yesterday.
You, you aren't around at all.
Feels like it's sending me out of my mind.
I'm waiting around the door, waiting for something more, trapped in replay of yesterday.
You, you aren't around at all.
Shot down, no warning.
Remix in the morning.
Stuttering, get it out, try to say something.
Sending me out of my mind.
Stuttering, get it out, try to say something.
Sending me out of my mind.
Shot down, no warning.
Remix in the morning.
Over again and again, it's just sending me out of my mind.
In time I will change.

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/
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.
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.
I think Kreegah is def on the right track with their interpretation, especially considering that it is the title of the song... but with regards to the 'door' part, it's about a guy who is obviously waiting for something to happen. The door is just a metaphor for an obstacle...something blocking you from getting to the other side or getting through to something. I guess it kinda relates to the saying "as one door closes another one opens", and that feeling of not knowing which door (or which path) to take. Great song
