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.
picked me up around a quarter to nine,
I was a little shocked that he was right on time.
He was really well mannered as he opened my door,
he seemed like the man I was looking for.
He took me to a fancy restaurant,
and told me to order anything I want.
I went to the bathroom and called a couple of friends,
and said: “Oh my god he's such a gentleman”
He want to have a good time,
ass I was drinking his wine.
And then I started to feel really sleepy,
and he had this creepy look in his eyes.
[chorus] 2x
So don't touch me while I'm sleeping babe,
I just wake up and break your neck.
It won't be worth the costs you made,
cause this will be the date you never forget.
I woke up in the morning about half past eight,
and I couldn't remember what happened to my date.
My stomach was boozy and it didn't feel right,
I couldn't recall a single thing from last night.
My best friend Suzie called me on the phone,
and said: “Girl you really had it going on”.
If you could imagine the fucking look on my face,
When I finally realized I was a victim of date rape.
I went straight to his work and shoved his face to the wall,
”I hope you had a good time mother fucker, now it's time to say goodbye to your balls”.
[chorus] 2x
So don't touch me while I'm sleeping babe,
I just wake up and break your neck.
It won't be worth the costs you made,
cause this will be the date you never forget.
The moral of the story, to make myself clear,
Is that all you rapist assholes better run with fear.
I would think twice before your next date,
Cause you'll just end up someone's bitch in cellblock eight.
[chorus] 2x
So don't touch me while I'm sleeping babe,
I just wake up and break your neck.
It won't be worth the costs you made,
cause this will be the date you never forget

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
"It's a very serious issue, and it happened to a lot of my friends." The song features Osbourne shoving the suitor who she thought was "such a gentleman" into a wall and telling him to "say goodbye to his balls" after she wakes up and finds out he drugged and raped her. "It's just something that if you're gonna do it, you have to do it in a tongue-in-cheek way; instead it's too serious and people miss the point. I just thought it could help people."
