This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Where I would have been with a different plan
Like the tide upon the sand
It washed away from me
Opportunities to where I stand
Sometimes I feel so empty handed
Were not the only ones
(were not the only ones)
Who will understand me
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies
We’ll never ever loose sight of our goals
Won’t let go
And even tough were a little bit older
The truth is colder
Got to work….got to make that money
I hope its something
Cause were not the only ones
Who can make this happen
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies
The current is so strong
And I can’t fight no more
And how I long to be
on that stable shore
If we could only step outside the shade
And in the games we play
The threat of uncertainty
(the threat of uncertainty)
Has carried me out to sea
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies
Like the tide upon the sand
It washed away from me
Opportunities to where I stand
Sometimes I feel so empty handed
Were not the only ones
(were not the only ones)
Who will understand me
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies
We’ll never ever loose sight of our goals
Won’t let go
And even tough were a little bit older
The truth is colder
Got to work….got to make that money
I hope its something
Cause were not the only ones
Who can make this happen
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies
The current is so strong
And I can’t fight no more
And how I long to be
on that stable shore
If we could only step outside the shade
And in the games we play
The threat of uncertainty
(the threat of uncertainty)
Has carried me out to sea
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
ooooh oooh ooooh
Somebody clear these stormy skies

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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 think this song could also be about the uncertainty of love. The singer expresses how things could have different, for better or for worse, had he not chosen the person that he had. When he sings about his sacrifice, he sings about his willful surrender of his singularity in order to hopefully become happier. However, the "threat of uncertainty" is that things might not always go as planned, and like most relationships, it is indefinite and can become unstable without a moment's notice, and this predictable shock is what "carries him out to sea". The "Sacrifice inside" is the singer's acceptance of that instability in order to hopefully find happiness in his life, even if it becomes temporary.
