This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Ego don't ever get you anywhere
But now I know to speak up;
let my voice be known
I won't sit back; pretend my name hasn't been called
As if I'm running from my goal
I'll face the music with my soul
Don't talk to me like I am just a child
I've sold more stories than you've ever told
Don't be fooled; softest touch but selfish growth
This driving force won't let me go
If you're telling me truth
Should be something plain to see
And you don't even know what the truth is meant to be
Listen to what I say
'Cause unassailably and scientifically it's on the money
Advice is something we can choose to take
I've learned from teachers that could orchestrate this whole wide world
You've got to think between the lines and on your feet
Step up to the grade with no defeat
Appearances are deceptive look at me
If you're telling me truth
Should be something plain to see
And you don't even know what the truth is meant to be
Listen to what I say
'Cause unassailably and scientifically it's on the money
You'll say what you can to try and break my stand
You just try your best but I'll keep on bouncing back
It's all in your head
Deal with that instead
But now I know to speak up;
let my voice be known
I won't sit back; pretend my name hasn't been called
As if I'm running from my goal
I'll face the music with my soul
Don't talk to me like I am just a child
I've sold more stories than you've ever told
Don't be fooled; softest touch but selfish growth
This driving force won't let me go
If you're telling me truth
Should be something plain to see
And you don't even know what the truth is meant to be
Listen to what I say
'Cause unassailably and scientifically it's on the money
Advice is something we can choose to take
I've learned from teachers that could orchestrate this whole wide world
You've got to think between the lines and on your feet
Step up to the grade with no defeat
Appearances are deceptive look at me
If you're telling me truth
Should be something plain to see
And you don't even know what the truth is meant to be
Listen to what I say
'Cause unassailably and scientifically it's on the money
You'll say what you can to try and break my stand
You just try your best but I'll keep on bouncing back
It's all in your head
Deal with that instead

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/

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.
