be weary of blood cells,
drawn in black and white,
save you from yourself,
by way of empty sky,
you trace lines with such great expertise,
chronic pain from the kissing disease,
take it slow, ease yourself from denial,
you, right there, with the disposable smile x3

you and i so perfectly intertwined,
on a ride to search for the perfect sun,
take my palm, i am so frightened and blind,
you, right there, with your disposable smile x3

you, right there, you're just a face in a crowd,
standing there like something's perfectly high up,
you prepare and give us nothing in return,
you right there with the disposable burns,
take me home and leave me hanging at the door,
you, that way, have always been hard to ignore x2

you trace lines with such great expertise,
chronic pain from the kissing disease,
take it slow, ease yourself from denial,
you, right there, with your disposable smile x5

    I would simply like to point out that although this song is written, performed, and recorded by Daniel Hunter, formerly known as PlayRadioPlay! It is actually released under the name of his new musical project/ name Analog Rebellion.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
