Your brother came around
He told me he had something on his mind
And then he stood and shook

So I asked him in
And I offered him a glass of wine
I didn't know where to look...

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl.
And the clocks stood still
And then he walked right out
And without further word, then
He was gone, in a whirl...

So What Was I to think?
Suppose "he'd had too much to drink?"
And "his friends put him up to it?"
But his ghost did linger
And a faint but genuine sense of...what?
What, I couldn't tell you.
His words hung in the air like smoke.

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl
And my heart stood still
But then, he walked right out
and without further word, then
he was gone, in a whirl...

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl
And my heart, it danced!
But then, he walked right out
and without further word, then
he was gone, in a whirl...

Silent Planet
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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

Punchline
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 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.
