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.
Nobody's business what I'm doing with my life
So if I should feel like wasting it all that should be alright
Feelin' sorry for myself was takin' up my time,
So I thought I'd stay at home, until I got some kind of sign
Well, thank god one of the guys, he got to me
Said, get your butt here ASAP
Looked me in the eyes
Shook his head
Pulled up a chair and then he said
Hey ya might just wanna
Sit down when I tell ya this honey
I know you've been dumped and all that shit
But your attitude sucks, you gotta admit
Get yourself together I know you
You rat on me once and I'll kill you
One more he said
And you're as good as dead
I guess I have no choice, but with admitting my mistake
There's no excuse to be alive, each time this young heart breaks
Life should be a fairy tale with happy ever afters
Like a place where no one lies
all problems solved with laughters
One member of my pack said to me
I hope you understand you're not gonna like what I have to say
I know you've been dumped and all that shit
But your attitude sucks you gotta admit
Get yourself together, I know you
If you rat on me once, I'll kill you
So if I should feel like wasting it all that should be alright
Feelin' sorry for myself was takin' up my time,
So I thought I'd stay at home, until I got some kind of sign
Well, thank god one of the guys, he got to me
Said, get your butt here ASAP
Looked me in the eyes
Shook his head
Pulled up a chair and then he said
Hey ya might just wanna
Sit down when I tell ya this honey
I know you've been dumped and all that shit
But your attitude sucks, you gotta admit
Get yourself together I know you
You rat on me once and I'll kill you
One more he said
And you're as good as dead
I guess I have no choice, but with admitting my mistake
There's no excuse to be alive, each time this young heart breaks
Life should be a fairy tale with happy ever afters
Like a place where no one lies
all problems solved with laughters
One member of my pack said to me
I hope you understand you're not gonna like what I have to say
I know you've been dumped and all that shit
But your attitude sucks you gotta admit
Get yourself together, I know you
If you rat on me once, I'll kill you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
what a great song to snowboard to....awesome stuff.
It's 'You write another lovesong and I'll kill you' instead of 'if you rat on me once i'll kill you'
