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.
Comin' down the mountain
One of many children
Everybody has their own opinion
Everybody has their own opinion
Holding it back hurts so bad
Jumping out of my flesh
And I said
Cash in
Cash in now, honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now, honey
Cash in Miss Smith
Cash in now, baby
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was comin' down the mountain
I met a child, man, she had pin eyes
We had the same opinion
Had the same opinion
She was holding it back
It hurts do bad
Jumping out of my flesh
And I said
Cash in now, honey
Cash in now
Cash in now, baby
Cash in now, honey
Cash in Miss smith
Cash in now, baby
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
One of many children
Everybody has their own opinion
Everybody has their own opinion
Holding it back hurts so bad
Jumping out of my flesh
And I said
Cash in
Cash in now, honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now, honey
Cash in Miss Smith
Cash in now, baby
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was comin' down the mountain
I met a child, man, she had pin eyes
We had the same opinion
Had the same opinion
She was holding it back
It hurts do bad
Jumping out of my flesh
And I said
Cash in now, honey
Cash in now
Cash in now, baby
Cash in now, honey
Cash in Miss smith
Cash in now, baby
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah
Ooh-ooh, whoa-whoa-whoa yeah

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
You've go to "cash in" on what you keep inside. Holding it back hurts so bad!
