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.
Dead president fuck the president
Manson's strive for power
While I work to save my residents
He owns you even though he never told you
Mark of the beast on ya hand
Now he owns you
Thrown down to the bottom level
Ruled by the fist and the fist is the devil
I metamorphosis and make myself level
We are the future we are right now right now
I'm taking a stab at the sick sick sick
I know what evil is and evil could suck my dick
Like Sam Hain and God ain't no joke
Ya better watch ya neck cause ya might get choked
I'm dodgin' arrows from the dark side everyday
And I'm a main target cause of what I say
I'm dodgin' arrows from the dark side everyday
You sink we swim we rise you fall we met our fate
Together I was here from the start
And I'll be here in the end
Legacy legacy legacy legacy
Manson's strive for power
While I work to save my residents
He owns you even though he never told you
Mark of the beast on ya hand
Now he owns you
Thrown down to the bottom level
Ruled by the fist and the fist is the devil
I metamorphosis and make myself level
We are the future we are right now right now
I'm taking a stab at the sick sick sick
I know what evil is and evil could suck my dick
Like Sam Hain and God ain't no joke
Ya better watch ya neck cause ya might get choked
I'm dodgin' arrows from the dark side everyday
And I'm a main target cause of what I say
I'm dodgin' arrows from the dark side everyday
You sink we swim we rise you fall we met our fate
Together I was here from the start
And I'll be here in the end
Legacy legacy legacy legacy

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
This song (to me) is about corrupt Gouvernment...
