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.
I want to go up where something matters
I want to blow up where matter scatters
I want to live on into the future
I want to give ...more girl
Next Step
No side stepping this time
Cross over life on the line
One thing to talk big
Got to follow through
All set
Got to get past the present too
Don`t want to reach out for yesterday
Don`t want to block the shock of the new
I want to see what new love will bring
I`m gonna give all that love to you
What`s the Next Step
My mind is open wide
Next Step
What`ll be the Next Step baby
What`s the Next Step
I`m finished with the past
Next Step
Won`t be the last step baby
You want to wake up with me beside you
You want to shake off bad thoughts inside you
We`re gonna walk on into tomorrow
We`re gonna have more fun now
Don`t look around for yesterday
No blocking out the shock of the new
Do you want to see what new love can bring
I`m gonna give all that love to you
What`s the Next Step
My mind is open wide
Next Step
What`ll be the Next Step baby
What`s the Next Step
I haven`t got a clue

Gonna step right
Won`t step back
What`s the Next Step

Say hey
Don`t you want to take the Next Step
Ring out the old
Ring in the new
Never know `til I do it what I`m gonna do

My mind is open wide
What`s the Next Step baby
Next Step
What`s the Next Step
Ain`t gonna be the last

What`s the Next Step
We`ve got to open up when
When the Next Step comes along
I`ve got to follow through
Take the Next Step with you
I want to ring out the old and ring in the new
Come out of the cold
Take a step with you
I want to blow up where matter scatters
I want to live on into the future
I want to give ...more girl

Cross over life on the line
One thing to talk big
Got to follow through
All set
Got to get past the present too

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/
