This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
What’s left now that we crawl
Over every stretch of earth we want -
Millennia of wars with things
That didn’t know that they were at war with us.
We fought people too, but always “them”,
And now what’s left is “we”.
We - the conquerors, the kings -
The ones that’ll learn to fall the hardest.
We’ve come so far and only just begun.
The damage wrought runs deep.
Please save the humans.
Sick feelings as we turn on our neighbors covetously -
Opaque seeds of culture
Warring against us, laying siege internally.
But that’s the way it’s done, so this is how we die,
Yet we balk and choke at the idea
That things could be otherwise.
This house of cards so big now stands alone.
With it will fall all stability and hope.
Diversity slows progress so it’s clear what we must do -Destroy anything not interchangeable with our pursuits.
But not all of our ends weigh equal,
Not all of our ends are shared.
Not all of us have destroyed,
But we can all die in the end.
All humans united in a uniquely human destiny.
Created by us, for us. Hooray for today.
They know not what they do
And they think that they’re untouchable.
Please save the humans.

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/

Page

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.
