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.
It's such a strange vine
Wrapped around my neck
All twisted up between my stem
Between my stem
I'm tripping and fallen over
Things we just couldn't get over
I tried my best
Get it off my chest
Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taken it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
The sun came while you were shining
The time flew while we were writing
Symphony in the key of D
Songs that had lost their luster
Finally they found their color
Oh
Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
We made jokes about starting a new band
6 years working this whole plan
Maybe I'll make a home with you
Its been a straight life and its
These break lights city limits
I can't afford the truth
We are two Indians in the same canoe
Maybe I'll just start something new
We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
We're taking it all to the end
We're planting our own garden
We're planting our own garden
Planting our own garden
Wrapped around my neck
All twisted up between my stem
Between my stem
I'm tripping and fallen over
Things we just couldn't get over
I tried my best
Get it off my chest
Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taken it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
The sun came while you were shining
The time flew while we were writing
Symphony in the key of D
Songs that had lost their luster
Finally they found their color
Oh
Songs we never wrote
Seeds they wouldn't sow
We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
We made jokes about starting a new band
6 years working this whole plan
Maybe I'll make a home with you
Its been a straight life and its
These break lights city limits
I can't afford the truth
We are two Indians in the same canoe
Maybe I'll just start something new
We're taking it all to the end
And we're planting our own garden
We're taking it all to the end
We're planting our own garden
We're planting our own garden
Planting our own garden

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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

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
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.
EDIT: "it's been the straigh life, and it's preacher living"
Finally starting a new relationship after not being able to move on from the last one?
It's about one of the band members leaving the band to start a family.
