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.
shade open canopy present in a mirror
curled unlike a knife blade
fetal to fear
that screwed it over, that screwed it over
black closed door agenda
each is everywhere
fists against the painless
absorbed in useless prayer
like honey flies attracted
rotten smelling air
breathe in deep reflective the image of despair
flick often sore green jealousy and fear
twist off forget me not the jinx reappears
that screwed the soul, removing the old one
rancid sewage temperate thought comes in clear
manner of environment polluted seer
sensuous a fable lost trapping history
magic story less is taught force a way to see
this world is spinning upside down
his world is turning left around
a constant shifting motion sound
reverses all whatever learned
each is everywhere absorbed in useless prayer
each is everywhere absorbed in useless prayer
page turning sentimental hidden motive liar
baby he dies here garbage can dersire
little lover rubber lost caught between the sheets
fairy tale of horror sounds like pulpits cutting meat
curled unlike a knife blade
fetal to fear
that screwed it over, that screwed it over
black closed door agenda
each is everywhere
fists against the painless
absorbed in useless prayer
like honey flies attracted
rotten smelling air
breathe in deep reflective the image of despair
flick often sore green jealousy and fear
twist off forget me not the jinx reappears
that screwed the soul, removing the old one
rancid sewage temperate thought comes in clear
manner of environment polluted seer
sensuous a fable lost trapping history
magic story less is taught force a way to see
this world is spinning upside down
his world is turning left around
a constant shifting motion sound
reverses all whatever learned
each is everywhere absorbed in useless prayer
each is everywhere absorbed in useless prayer
page turning sentimental hidden motive liar
baby he dies here garbage can dersire
little lover rubber lost caught between the sheets
fairy tale of horror sounds like pulpits cutting meat

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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.

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.
