Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
From the fields of concrete slabs, towers of Stone
'Cross an ocean before his bow
Came the haggard Warrior all clad in rust of
The Rainbow to tell us how
Our ways unchanged for centuries do dismay
Concrete hearts
Wake emotions perfect for his confidence tricks
And though we may be human we are still animals
Weakling of the food chain, the only way
That I see is to
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on
By the fields of good and green, mountains of
Home, in an ocean beneath the sun
Stood the haggard Warrior, now his crusade,
Fame and fortune it had begun
So holier than thou art, all marine mammals friend
Change your evil ways now or with terror I strike
Why can't you do like we do, pay your way
'Round the blood
When it's on the table you won't know
Whence it came, I say
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on
To the fields of concrete slabs, towers of
Stone. 'cross an ocean behind his stern
Went the haggard Warrior all clad in rust of
The Rainbow, when will they learn
That nature is against them, with that all
Stands and falls
Weakling of the food chain, the only way
That I see is to
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on
'Cross an ocean before his bow
Came the haggard Warrior all clad in rust of
The Rainbow to tell us how
Our ways unchanged for centuries do dismay
Concrete hearts
Wake emotions perfect for his confidence tricks
And though we may be human we are still animals
Weakling of the food chain, the only way
That I see is to
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on
By the fields of good and green, mountains of
Home, in an ocean beneath the sun
Stood the haggard Warrior, now his crusade,
Fame and fortune it had begun
So holier than thou art, all marine mammals friend
Change your evil ways now or with terror I strike
Why can't you do like we do, pay your way
'Round the blood
When it's on the table you won't know
Whence it came, I say
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on
To the fields of concrete slabs, towers of
Stone. 'cross an ocean behind his stern
Went the haggard Warrior all clad in rust of
The Rainbow, when will they learn
That nature is against them, with that all
Stands and falls
Weakling of the food chain, the only way
That I see is to
Curse the weak link, What's out
Come your down fall, Lights out
May your ship sink, Rainbow Warrior floats
No more, there are no Lights on
That obtrusive creep all, What's on

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/
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Im pretty sure this song has something to do with the Greenpeace ship of the same name, although i haven't looked into it enough to make a complete connection
It is about the ecofreedom terrorist organisation called Sea Shepherd.
