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.
Is your chest getting colder?
As the nights getting dark.
I just really hope someone rips out your heart.
Stomps on it,Cuts it up,
Make it bleed with every blow.
I just really hope, that you know.
know that I hate you,
know that you mean nothing to me.
know i don't fear you.
know that you can never be,
never be my nightmare.
With every threat,
every knock against the wall,
i will not let you
watch me fall.
With every punch to the gut.
And every lie to the face.
I've had enough,
I'll be the familes disgrace.
Get out, where are you going?
That's what you screamed.
I'm leaving this place, and never coming back.
It's your best dream.
You're words are getting louder.
Your voice is getting rough.
Your threats are still coming.
Your lines are getting tough.
With every threat,
every knock against the wall,
i will not let you
watch me fall.
With every punch to the gut.
And every lie to the face.
I've had enough,
I'll be the familes disgrace.
As the nights getting dark.
I just really hope someone rips out your heart.
Stomps on it,Cuts it up,
Make it bleed with every blow.
I just really hope, that you know.
know that I hate you,
know that you mean nothing to me.
know i don't fear you.
know that you can never be,
never be my nightmare.
With every threat,
every knock against the wall,
i will not let you
watch me fall.
With every punch to the gut.
And every lie to the face.
I've had enough,
I'll be the familes disgrace.
Get out, where are you going?
That's what you screamed.
I'm leaving this place, and never coming back.
It's your best dream.
You're words are getting louder.
Your voice is getting rough.
Your threats are still coming.
Your lines are getting tough.
With every threat,
every knock against the wall,
i will not let you
watch me fall.
With every punch to the gut.
And every lie to the face.
I've had enough,
I'll be the familes disgrace.

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/
