Terra Firma

Young Knives

I took a good long look at everything I bought
There was a lot to see but still I wanted more
It looks like mother nature's got herself a whore
With a disregard for health and safety

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

A world of wonder lies beyond the door
Take the first right into town where I am sure
I can find the perfect place or something more
In my mind I fly but I'm still seated

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to)

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

You don't eat enough
You don't sleep enough
You talk too much
Yes, you talk too much

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to)

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to mud)

    I believe this is about women mad about shopping and going out buying fur without the care if its real or fake and telling other women where the best places to go are ( "a world of wonder lies beyond the door
    take the first right into town where I am sure" ) JUST MY OPINION !!

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/

Magical
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.

Blue
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.
Album art
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.
