This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Tearing beneath your feet
Feel the ground split and crack and crumble beneath you
Calamity serves a nightmare
Never to wake from these dreams of destiny
[Chorus]
All are buried
New earth's eyes turn black
Struggle to cling to your mind
Grasping at twines to hold your world together
Replacing the truth
Breathe in the proof
And pray your god is forever
[Chorus]
All are silent
Full with old dirt
All are stifled
Earth's hand turns to fist
Forget, erase, the monster you made and the hate that you save
In time, you'll find, you'll learn to grow in the new world
Ushering in the sun
Barren earth smiles and greets its warmth with awareness
Gathering clouds, earth drinks the rain
And plans the birth of its new gods
[Chorus]
All arising
Purged of sickness
Soil transcending
Cast fulfilling
All are present
Born of earth
New gods
Feel the ground split and crack and crumble beneath you
Calamity serves a nightmare
Never to wake from these dreams of destiny
[Chorus]
All are buried
New earth's eyes turn black
Struggle to cling to your mind
Grasping at twines to hold your world together
Replacing the truth
Breathe in the proof
And pray your god is forever
[Chorus]
All are silent
Full with old dirt
All are stifled
Earth's hand turns to fist
Forget, erase, the monster you made and the hate that you save
In time, you'll find, you'll learn to grow in the new world
Ushering in the sun
Barren earth smiles and greets its warmth with awareness
Gathering clouds, earth drinks the rain
And plans the birth of its new gods
[Chorus]
All arising
Purged of sickness
Soil transcending
Cast fulfilling
All are present
Born of earth
New gods

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
