The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
We will pray in the synagogue of the seven spiders
Lay down beside her and watch the blood flow as she coughs it on the floor
We will fistfuck the walls around us, until the world crumbles down around us
Leaving all of our tresspasses lying at deaths door
Go, don't step to me you punk assed motherfucking son of a bitch
Go, just roll the dice you'll end up dead
Go, don't look into my eyes until you have the balls to back it up
Go, just show your face and I will lay you to waste
We will bathe in the blood of your children, who are fresh from the baths of their sins
And our kind will rule the night forever more
We will tear out the wings of angels, who have fallen and been mangled
In the pit of darkness from their eternal war
Go, don't step to me you punk assed motherfucking son of a bitch
Go, just roll the dice you'll end up dead
Go, don't look into my eyes until you have the balls to back it up
Go, just show your face and I will lay you on a broken alter to be torn apart
You are the angel fallen
Lay down beside her and watch the blood flow as she coughs it on the floor
We will fistfuck the walls around us, until the world crumbles down around us
Leaving all of our tresspasses lying at deaths door
Go, don't step to me you punk assed motherfucking son of a bitch
Go, just roll the dice you'll end up dead
Go, don't look into my eyes until you have the balls to back it up
Go, just show your face and I will lay you to waste
We will bathe in the blood of your children, who are fresh from the baths of their sins
And our kind will rule the night forever more
We will tear out the wings of angels, who have fallen and been mangled
In the pit of darkness from their eternal war
Go, don't step to me you punk assed motherfucking son of a bitch
Go, just roll the dice you'll end up dead
Go, don't look into my eyes until you have the balls to back it up
Go, just show your face and I will lay you on a broken alter to be torn apart
You are the angel fallen

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
