I'm taking everything you said as
another wasted breath and
I'm sorry I'm such a mess
but you just don't understand
what she puts me through

I think she just might be the one
to make me fall in love
but you just don't understand
just what she puts me through
every night

And I've been sleeping
alone by this window
she's not at home
she's out with another boy
I don't know, but I think he's just a toy
So what was I, just what was I?

Oh! Our bodies moving
you know its just so smooth
with her sweet body honey
oh, she's just all over me
Show them what they're missing
you know they'll be watching
wishing they had a chance
to be all over you

I'm taking everything you said as a
another dirty mess and
I always find it right here
in my hands just to pass the time
why, I scream, why

I think she just might be the heart
I end up ripping apart and
you just don't understand
just what she puts me through
every night

And I've been sleeping
alone by this window
she's not at home
she's out with another boy
I don't know, but I think he's just a toy
So what was I, just what was I?

Oh! Our bodies moving
you know its just so smooth
with her sweet body honey
oh, she's just all over me
Show them what they're missing
you know they'll be watching
wishing they had a chance
to be all over you

Its something about the way she moves
I lose it and she knew it
she's at my door asking me for more
but I'm running away

And I've been sleeping
alone by this window
she's not at home
she's out with another boy
I don't know, but I think he's just a toy
So what was I, just what was I?

Oh! Our bodies moving
you know its just so smooth
with her sweet body honey
oh, she's just all over me
Show them what they're missing
you know they'll be watching
wishing they had a chance
to be all over you

Silent Planet
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

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.
