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.
'Round these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face, she ain't a fool to me
CHORUS:
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chugging along
She likes the way it's pulling while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kinda crazy 'bout my farmers tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me...
She thinks my tractor's sexy
We ride back and forth till we run outta light
Take it to the barn, put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft, sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream, and I ask what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny wenny ride before I take her home
(CHORUS)
Well she ain't into cars or pick-up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere then her eyes light up
(CHORUS)
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
Over by the gate Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face, she ain't a fool to me
CHORUS:
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chugging along
She likes the way it's pulling while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kinda crazy 'bout my farmers tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me...
She thinks my tractor's sexy
We ride back and forth till we run outta light
Take it to the barn, put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft, sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream, and I ask what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny wenny ride before I take her home
(CHORUS)
Well she ain't into cars or pick-up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere then her eyes light up
(CHORUS)
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy

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.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Zombie
Cranberries, The
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
this song is obviously about having sex.
