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.
Hey, that last summer day
When we hung out
I thought that it would last forever
You, knew it wasn't true
I ignored all the clues
Then I lost her to your weather
If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Would of realised
What I realise
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me
Hey, the clouds have come around
How does that sound
Knowing you won't last forever
Leaves, are all falling down
And she's not 'round
Why couldn't we have worked together
If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Of this demise
What I realise
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
As winter gets colder
The winds gettin' bolder
Just run and hide
Why don't you run and hide
Yeah I don't wanna see your face anymore
Don't you come round here anymore
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me
When we hung out
I thought that it would last forever
You, knew it wasn't true
I ignored all the clues
Then I lost her to your weather
If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Would of realised
What I realise
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me
Hey, the clouds have come around
How does that sound
Knowing you won't last forever
Leaves, are all falling down
And she's not 'round
Why couldn't we have worked together
If I'd known what I know now
Wouldn't be surprised
Of this demise
What I realise
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
As winter gets colder
The winds gettin' bolder
Just run and hide
Why don't you run and hide
Yeah I don't wanna see your face anymore
Don't you come round here anymore
In summertime
Why did you lie to me
In summertime
Why don't you leave me be
In summertime
You took her away from me

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.
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/
