    I think this song is about suicide. The big build up, then BAM, nothing. My favorite song, period.

    pinion - to bind the arms of (shackle) or to cut the wings off (of birds)

    Intersting.

    The music video is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. There must be some very terribly dark places in Reznor's sick mind.

    I love the video: The camera slowly moves into a public bathroom, then down a toilet, into the pipes, flowing deeper and deeper into the sewage system, then when the music peaks we see the pipes flow into a man (who looks like he's wearing a full body scuba suit). The reason is reminds me of a scuba suit is that the pipes look like his snorkle--he is breathing in all the sewage and shit of the world.

    Absolutely brilliant.

    Breathing in and taking in. Gah. But this is the perfect intro to Wish.

    Going off of "libertykillingcons" stuff, i think its kinda like he's been reduced and in Wish he wants it all back again...ur something like that. but the whole Broken Album was total middle finger to so guy. don't remember. its in the biography. but throwing that in the mix, it kinda changes things.

    i do like the video it's very interesting and alluring. very odd visuals that build up to something you probably would not have expected

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
