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”
Ace on an unbroken line, Ace of Hearts!
Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts!
Sweet procession of cards that you take
From each Victorian box that you make!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The Hearts that cannot be refused on your watch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Draw closer to me, Ace of Hearts!
Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts!
Hearts to make yourself free... Yes, you will!
Make free of the cities where time stands still!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The bombs that cannot be defused by your touch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Break Aces of Hearts!
Break all Aces of Hearts!
Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts!
Sweet procession of cards that you take
From each Victorian box that you make!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The Hearts that cannot be refused on your watch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Draw closer to me, Ace of Hearts!
Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts!
Hearts to make yourself free... Yes, you will!
Make free of the cities where time stands still!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The bombs that cannot be defused by your touch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Break Aces of Hearts!
Break all Aces of Hearts!

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'
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.
"Ace of Hearts" is the kind of double-meaning with Hertz, it's about a man who is probably a womanizer, who simply goes around breaking women's hearts. So the "break the ace of hertz" is about getting revenge on this man.
Shouldn't it be "Ace of Hertz", and not "Ace of Heartz"? I imagine that pronouncing Hertz as "Heartz" is the British pronunciation of the word, but it would still be spelled the same.
I was listening to the song while reading the lyrics and I caught a mistake in the OP's lyrics. On the fourth line, where you have "From each Victorian box that you make!" it's really: From each Victorian box that you break!
This also makes better sense, since a "Victorian Box" is made of cards. To TAKE cards away from a Victorian Box would BREAK it.
The lyrics I hear with appropriate spelling and punctuation:
Ace on an unbroken line, Ace of Hearts Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts Sweet procession of cards, that you take From each Victorian box, that you break
You break the Ace of Hearts, that break too much Hearts that cannot be refused, on your watch Break the Ace of Hearts (hearts)
Shelter closer to me, Ace of Hearts Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts Hearts to make yourself free, yes you will Break free of the cities, where time stands still
You break the Ace of Hearts, that break too much The bombs that cannot be defused, by your touch
Break the Ace of Hearts (hearts) Break Aces of Hearts (hearts) Break all Aces of Hearts (hearts) (Repeat)
I'm really not sure of the "shelter closer..." lyric though. It actually sounds like "shelt yell closer..." but that doesn't make sense.
