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.
Take me, love me
Invade the portions of me that are dark
And warm and deep
Hero or zero
I'm glad that you are here so take your love
And take your leave
Now how will I fall asleep?
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
This state of grace
I could've held him
But alas the dawn compelled him to walk
Into the street
His arms are swinging
And maybe he is singing with those lips
That now taste like me
How am I supposed to fall asleep?
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
This state of grace
Invade the portions of me that are dark
And warm and deep
Hero or zero
I'm glad that you are here so take your love
And take your leave
Now how will I fall asleep?
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
This state of grace
I could've held him
But alas the dawn compelled him to walk
Into the street
His arms are swinging
And maybe he is singing with those lips
That now taste like me
How am I supposed to fall asleep?
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
You built the maze
In my lovers face
I'm onto ya
Euphoria
This state of grace

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
“I see it as the partner to ‘Get Home’. Pure lust. It was the sort of cheeky ‘I can enjoy this frivolous one night stand too.’ I wanted to take some of that power back, put it in my court. I wrote this on guitar too.”
