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.
Here we go now
Verse 1
They tried to tell you, they made it obvious
When daddy made it so easy.
But now they got him, its got me thinking about it
One, Two, Three, FUCK OFF!
Chorus
Oh won’t you tell me
You know its side tracked from them here
That there is more that meets the eye
And they can tell me this world is safe and this kind of evil bullshit
They think your stupid stupid, we’re not so stupid
Verse 2
I’m thinking of running, for this year presidency
It shouldn’t be too hard, I’ve got no diplomacy
Skills I won’t need them, function all our literacy
Get along little doggy, get along president Jimmy
Chorus
Oh won’t you tell me
You know its side tracked from them here
That there is more that meets the eye
And they can tell me this world is safe and this kind of evil bullshit
They think your stupid stupid, we’re not so stupid
Verse 3
And I tell you that the truth
It scares the shit out of me
An it almost makes me miss
The comfort of the ???
An it almost made me think
Its getting scary
Im thinking of running
For that there presidency
It doesn’t seem too hard
With the help of my family
And we’ll fix it up with a little criminal activity
You can't stop me, i'm runnin for the presidency
Do you believe in democracy, democracy? x 5
Yowsers
Beware the photograph, it captures your dreams
Verse 1
They tried to tell you, they made it obvious

But now they got him, its got me thinking about it
One, Two, Three, FUCK OFF!

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/
