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.

tunnet soihdun ympri Suomee, get down, tai lhe juoksee
t tunkeutuu lpi suonen, ei oo vaivaa eik huolee
tuoden suusta tysin uutta totuutta ten uneen
t turpa ei sammu, ei oo pelkoo, se vaan puree
rytmin tahtii, joten mit sie siell mahat miettii
jauhaako kolli paskaa vai onko tossa viestii
no, on se varma tiukkapipot venaa kauhulla
se jengi jota et spottaa ennen ku nimi on valotaululla
(Soppa)
mie alan puottaa, TK teille Sorbusta juottaa
koska basan timmeydest on pidettv huolta
revontulet hohkaa, takapihalla poroja
mie tuun Rollosta, viimesen plle rauhallinen mesta
kaukana Pkksist, tyyli ei oo hirvi
voit kuunnella loppuun, ilman et ilimees on krsiv
ei turhan trke vaan tyylipuhasta mikkirokkausta
rollofunkkii eli timmit rbt ja bndi taustal
CHORUS:
get down, on se huuto ku alat rytmiin liikkuu
get down, on se meno ku tuijotat tykin piippuu
get down, on se hetki pist pallo pussiin
get down, on se meininki, aika alkaa nussii
yeah...omistettu joka ikinen se, herra Huopa ja sen jannu Lle
(Hannibal)
toisin ku surkastuneen mustavalkoset silimt Tony Halmeen
Baali on vrisokea, nussii lpi sateenkaaren
terve jrke, syn, ei mulle paska sovi
viesti puritaanille pauloissa jonkun riopin
hei mummosko leikkas lettis, pappa osti pilottirotsin
t men koti kullankallis palo ko kylss kvi natsit
rioikeisto yritt laukoo, tll se on huti
mie haistatan hrmn Haidereille hengess Fela Kutin
(Soppa)
ne vitun juntit aggre-knniss viikonloppusin
vaikka sit kuinka nkis ei toivoakaan ett siihen tottusin
sopu sijaa antaa, toisin ku nuo rasistit
sie natsi suvaitsevaisuuden ittests pois karistit
aloit palvoo aatetta, jonka takana yritt seisoo
vihaat vapaa-aikas, ei se sullakaan oo hele
tunnet soihdun ympri Suomee, get down, tai lhe juoksee
t tunkeutuu lpi suonen, ei oo vaivaa eik huolee
tuoden suusta tysin uutta totuutta ten uneen
t turpa ei sammu, ei oo pelkoo, se vaan puree
rytmin tahtii, joten mit sie siell mahat miettii
jauhaako kolli paskaa vai onko tossa viestii
no, on se varma tiukkapipot venaa kauhulla
se jengi jota et spottaa ennen ku nimi on valotaululla

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'
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/

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.
