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.
I wake up lonely you're next to me
I don't know if I've survived my sleep
Don't you know me I'm your agony
Don't detest me try to live inside me
I want to break through your skin but
I don't mind I don't care
I can't see the sky from here
What have you done?
I don't mind I don't care
I can't feel my soul down here
What have you done?
You're getting closer trying to leave
Begging for mercy please let me be
Can't you see it? Life becomes unreal
Can't you feel it? I'm inside your skin
I don't know if I've survived my sleep
Don't you know me I'm your agony
Don't detest me try to live inside me
I want to break through your skin but
I don't mind I don't care
I can't see the sky from here
What have you done?
I don't mind I don't care
I can't feel my soul down here
What have you done?
You're getting closer trying to leave
Begging for mercy please let me be
Can't you see it? Life becomes unreal
Can't you feel it? I'm inside your skin

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about allowing oneself to be controlled by your own dark desires. It's like watching a train wreck, you know it's happening but you're powerless to stop it. Sort of like being a slave to your own base desires and knowing it's wrong and maybe even wanting to stop but it's a part of you that you can't control.
