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.
(Glory hallujah we are marching on as we sing this song and it won't be long
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free so get in the gloryland march)
There is an army that is marching onto victory the Captain is a man from Galilee
They've all been saved and their souls set free by the blood of the man on calvary
So won't you join in his army and be saved today get on your knees and pray
Have please the wrong to right and join in the fight and get in the gloryland march
(Glory hallujah we are marching...
[ piano ]
Blessed is the army that will follow God fighting for the kingdom as we onward trod
Waiting for the morning when we leave the sod
Do live and be forever in the presence of God
He will give us power over mend our sins we'll shout and enter in
You'll hear the victory ring we'll find a Saviour King so get in the gloryland march
Glory hallujah we are marching...
Get in the gloryland march
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free so get in the gloryland march)
There is an army that is marching onto victory the Captain is a man from Galilee
They've all been saved and their souls set free by the blood of the man on calvary
So won't you join in his army and be saved today get on your knees and pray
Have please the wrong to right and join in the fight and get in the gloryland march
(Glory hallujah we are marching...
[ piano ]
Blessed is the army that will follow God fighting for the kingdom as we onward trod
Waiting for the morning when we leave the sod
Do live and be forever in the presence of God
He will give us power over mend our sins we'll shout and enter in
You'll hear the victory ring we'll find a Saviour King so get in the gloryland march
Glory hallujah we are marching...
Get in the gloryland march

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.
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/
