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.
Don't you see how the world makes fun of you,
And the stars fall on the wish that you made
There's a friend by your side, it's nothing
Makes you see, think of it, what a shame
Give me this world 'cause you don't even bother
Hoping you finally drowned yourself to stardom
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good, yeah
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good,
yeah
Come and see how he hurt his mother
Keeping you in laughing face, say
Can you twist just a bit for a brother?
Yeah it's nothing to you my friend
Give me this world 'cause you don't even bother
Hoping you finally drowned yourself to stardom
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good, yeah
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good,
yeah
yeah, yeah, ye-ah

Ooohh, why do you breathe so bad?
'Cause I hear your bitch do that
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good
Said woah, what more can I say?
Say woah, these things you do yesterday
Woah, what more can I say?
Say woah, you spend your life dead
And the stars fall on the wish that you made
There's a friend by your side, it's nothing
Makes you see, think of it, what a shame
Give me this world 'cause you don't even bother
Hoping you finally drowned yourself to stardom
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good, yeah
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good,
yeah
Come and see how he hurt his mother
Keeping you in laughing face, say

Yeah it's nothing to you my friend
Give me this world 'cause you don't even bother
Hoping you finally drowned yourself to stardom
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good, yeah
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good,

Ooohh, why do you breathe so bad?
'Cause I hear your bitch do that
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good
So why don't you suck the fun out of me, babe?
'Cause I hear you so suck so good
Said woah, what more can I say?
Say woah, these things you do yesterday
Woah, what more can I say?
Say woah, you spend your life dead

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/

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.
