In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Enlight your sense of thought, of touch, of real, a shield
An underground for this coward
Building a blood in water scent
It's like some raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Serve and protect you
His dick his gun, his brain his badge
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
Arm yourself, a branch, a third arm
Expand your health, crawl inside euphoria
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, it's entrapment
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his getting by is a fisted fuck
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves
Half assed for most his life
Piss poor little ham
Narc boy, a fake fuck limp dick
Sucking up to the man, yeah
And the world
We need another cold war
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his dick his gun, his brain his badge
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Our fucking selves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
An underground for this coward
Building a blood in water scent
It's like some raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Serve and protect you
His dick his gun, his brain his badge
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
Arm yourself, a branch, a third arm
Expand your health, crawl inside euphoria
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, it's entrapment
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his getting by is a fisted fuck
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves
Half assed for most his life
Piss poor little ham
Narc boy, a fake fuck limp dick
Sucking up to the man, yeah
And the world
We need another cold war
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his dick his gun, his brain his badge
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Our fucking selves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
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” 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.
haha, talking about dicks and whatnot. silly kids.
