This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
They tend to misunderstand the paper man
With scissor hands, who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
To fall and fall again as he pretends
That everything he lays his hands on doesn't turn to shreds
But why oh why does he persist to hide?
When they insist he try to come outside
From the shell he lives inside
Now has been hypnotized and
Despite the lies he sits and waits to die
'Cause he can't find the words to explain the rain
All these emotions are transformed and now become pain
He's alive in a black hole empty in space
And he sits in front of the mirror and he's face to face
With the sadness, confusion his patience he's losing
He's substance abusing he's one with the music
And he needs a lil something to dial it all back
'Cause he's running in a race but he's not on track
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay?
(Love can be so cold) Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way
All is see when I'm looking at you, is me
And everyday gets a lil' bit harder
Like a piece of my life's puzzle has been slipped under the carpet
And until this day I'm feeling like I'm never gonna find it
I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
But sometimes that cigarette is just smoke in the chest and I lay in bed
But it's nothin to do with getting rest instead I use it as an escape from all the mess
Nothin' seems to matter I'm only getting sadder n sadder
'Cause I'm not even sure what I'm after
I know my life's a disaster and I better straighten it out
It's stand tall or fall a victim of getting caught in
A spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
Devotion and destruction of everything and it's my fault
I'm hoping to try more let's open up my door
And let 'em know I'm bringing me back like encore
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay?
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way
I'm an example of a bad example and as ample as it may seem
A sample of this poisonous apple maybe rattle a daydream
But I'm giving you reality checks, and if you get it then it's properly spent
If you can't handle it yet gimme a sec
I'll make ya proud of me instead of surrounding me
Totally hounding me expecting me to be like all the rest
And I gotta be honest I'm not sure who the fuck I am on a constant basis
So many faceless faces that I'm faced with
Who the fuck am I? What a shame, it's
Not so much the lies, I'm just lost in my mind
Trying to find what it is that makes me feel right inside
And I'm submerged by the urge to make it by day and night
I'm in the struggle looking to fight for the right
To be more than just alright...
And I'm looking for more light so I can see what they got in store for my life
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay?
(Love can be so cold) Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way
Ohhhooohhhooohhh
Love can be so cold...
With scissor hands, who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
To fall and fall again as he pretends
That everything he lays his hands on doesn't turn to shreds
But why oh why does he persist to hide?
When they insist he try to come outside
From the shell he lives inside
Now has been hypnotized and
Despite the lies he sits and waits to die
'Cause he can't find the words to explain the rain
All these emotions are transformed and now become pain
He's alive in a black hole empty in space
And he sits in front of the mirror and he's face to face

And he needs a lil something to dial it all back
'Cause he's running in a race but he's not on track
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay?
(Love can be so cold) Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away

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'
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
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
