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.
If you feel like running today
You know I'd understand
You don't but you long
It's easier to get away
When on the other hand
You know I'm not much better without you
I'm like your victim and all that you need is an alibi
Its one thing about you
I don't wanna make you cry
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
If you can take a chance
Find you that better man
A life seize from your quick disease
You're giving all my loving away
Tell me to understand
Cause you know
I'm not much better without you
Ill press your lips and I taste everyone that you've had tonight
Its one thing about you
I don't wanna taste tonight
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
Nah nah nah
There you go again
Nah nah nah
Oh you think that you could just push me around
Nah nah nah
Yeah there you go again
You lift me up and then you throw me back down
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole me heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
If you feel like running today you know I'd understand
You know I'd understand
You don't but you long
It's easier to get away
When on the other hand
You know I'm not much better without you
I'm like your victim and all that you need is an alibi
Its one thing about you
I don't wanna make you cry
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
If you can take a chance
Find you that better man
A life seize from your quick disease
You're giving all my loving away
Tell me to understand
Cause you know
I'm not much better without you
Ill press your lips and I taste everyone that you've had tonight
Its one thing about you
I don't wanna taste tonight
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
Nah nah nah
There you go again
Nah nah nah
Oh you think that you could just push me around
Nah nah nah
Yeah there you go again
You lift me up and then you throw me back down
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
Damn girl
Dry your eyes
You stole me heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl you can't see
When he's inside you know there?s no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
If you feel like running today you know I'd understand

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
