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.
Begin my downfall
Cause I met another person
And this time she says that she likes me
And I like her eyes
So in advance for when I fail I wanna say I’m sorry
Pictures
Without pictures of you
My wallet has never looked so empty before
I want to rub between your thighs
And blow kisses right between your eyes
And take you places that you’ve never been to
You’re way too good for me
Cause I’m cursed with years of failure
And I know I’m bound to bring you down
I guess it’s plain to see
I’m cursed with shredded genes
And shoes too big for my feet
You’ll forget the boy you left behind
And forget you ever made him cry
You won’t care you lost your biggest fan
Cause I met another person
And this time she says that she likes me
And I like her eyes
So in advance for when I fail I wanna say I’m sorry
Pictures
Without pictures of you
My wallet has never looked so empty before
I want to rub between your thighs
And blow kisses right between your eyes
And take you places that you’ve never been to
You’re way too good for me
Cause I’m cursed with years of failure
And I know I’m bound to bring you down
I guess it’s plain to see
I’m cursed with shredded genes
And shoes too big for my feet
You’ll forget the boy you left behind
And forget you ever made him cry
You won’t care you lost your biggest fan

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/
