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.
These blues are gonna rot your shoes
Gonna rot your feet
You don't want this fate to find you
BB on the B before C
And all it's come to be
Cuz the ball is rolling downhill fast
And we're falling on our collective ass
Dead 'longside the air you breathe and the deep blue sea
Don't you see what I'm saying
It's just the same thing I been saying all along
I ain't just talking through my hat dear
We're all in the same tent
In leave of our plain old common sense
We're part of the same world
The circus unsane world
What went wrong
Something don't belong
Something's going on with the shining sun that blinds you
BB on the B with a plea who's time has come
Don't you think you need it darlin'
A little BB on that B
Gonna rot your feet
You don't want this fate to find you
BB on the B before C
And all it's come to be
Cuz the ball is rolling downhill fast
And we're falling on our collective ass
Dead 'longside the air you breathe and the deep blue sea
Don't you see what I'm saying
It's just the same thing I been saying all along
I ain't just talking through my hat dear
We're all in the same tent
In leave of our plain old common sense
We're part of the same world
The circus unsane world
What went wrong
Something don't belong
Something's going on with the shining sun that blinds you
BB on the B with a plea who's time has come
Don't you think you need it darlin'
A little BB on that B

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/

Amazing

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
