In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Empower your servants, there will be anarchy
All evil will rise and Gomorrah will be here
Burn the holy book, the book of tales and myths
There is a new power to be risen on our planet
Ashes will cover all false believes And hope will be the new destiny
This will be when we will have strength
This will be when we will overcome Set free the legions dominating species
For a new planet earth and a new world order I destroy your believes
No gods - no masters I destroy your symbols No gods - No masters No gods - No masters
No gods - No masters When our mind is free from
(Religious) imagination and beliefs this world is going to be a better place.
Humanity uses symbols to hold on to lies and to justify their unworthy unrighteous behavior.
Terror is based on beliefs and false hope.
War is based on books about tales and myths.
Freedom died when humanity started reading the holy books
And started creating symbols to justify their insecurity about things they can't explain.
We have to overcome this urge and accept that we can not know everything.
They should fear the revenge and not hope for forgivingness.
All evil will rise and Gomorrah will be here
Burn the holy book, the book of tales and myths
There is a new power to be risen on our planet
Ashes will cover all false believes And hope will be the new destiny
This will be when we will have strength
This will be when we will overcome Set free the legions dominating species
For a new planet earth and a new world order I destroy your believes
No gods - no masters I destroy your symbols No gods - No masters No gods - No masters
No gods - No masters When our mind is free from
(Religious) imagination and beliefs this world is going to be a better place.
Humanity uses symbols to hold on to lies and to justify their unworthy unrighteous behavior.
Terror is based on beliefs and false hope.
War is based on books about tales and myths.
Freedom died when humanity started reading the holy books
And started creating symbols to justify their insecurity about things they can't explain.
We have to overcome this urge and accept that we can not know everything.
They should fear the revenge and not hope for forgivingness.

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”

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'

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
