This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's faster ways of killing me if you needed me to bleed.
You didn't have to give my angel those broken knees.
And if you felt you had to punish me you could have taken anything.
You didn't have to hang my little angel from a string.
I've been calling all night and there wasn't any answer.
Something inside me won't let go.
I believe my life is over.
This is all that my heart can take.
I could have found a way of working this out. All you had to do was say.
Did you really think that I would rather see my light go down in chains?
Say he rolled over! Say he's alive! Say it's not over! Say it's a lie!
You didn't have to give my angel those broken knees.
And if you felt you had to punish me you could have taken anything.
You didn't have to hang my little angel from a string.
I've been calling all night and there wasn't any answer.
Something inside me won't let go.
I believe my life is over.
This is all that my heart can take.
I could have found a way of working this out. All you had to do was say.
Did you really think that I would rather see my light go down in chains?
Say he rolled over! Say he's alive! Say it's not over! Say it's a lie!

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is so powerful, I love every word! I think she says here that someone if torturing her, emotionally, and there was no need to kill all her hopes, her inner security (if the angel can be seen as one). She is so in love that she won’t let go of this person. Probably he has given up the relationship, but he ended it in such a way that hurt her the most. “there’s faster ways of killing me if you needed me to bleed.” This guy knows she can’t let go of him. But as much as she tried to work things out, he didn’t want to communicate, instead, it was easier to hurt her. It’s a bit confusing when she says “I believe my life is over, this is all that my heart can take”, maybe she can’t take it anymore, feeling this way. I could see another way of interpreting these lyrics. That her lover committed suicide that is why she says that she could have found a way to work things out, but his lack of communication ended to his demise. That is why she called all night to God (perhaps) and she can’t let go of the love for him, thus she thinks her life is over and her heart can’t take it anymore.
