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.
I speak my mind
I don't hold it back
That's how I am
And I'm hopin' that's where you at
Like I lay it on the line
Think that's how it should be
If you're gonna make it, man you've got to agree
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
Wanna climb that ladder
You wanna make it to the top
Takes only one thing
Gotta give it all y' got
Knew a man who couldn't lose
'Cause he never gave in
He stuck to his pistol well it made him a better man
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
I don't hold it back
That's how I am
And I'm hopin' that's where you at
Like I lay it on the line
Think that's how it should be
If you're gonna make it, man you've got to agree
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
Wanna climb that ladder
You wanna make it to the top
Takes only one thing
Gotta give it all y' got
Knew a man who couldn't lose
'Cause he never gave in
He stuck to his pistol well it made him a better man
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am
I believe you can do it
If you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man
Believe I got things well at hand

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/
