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.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
Someone's invading my dream;
We were sailing along,
So peaceful and calm,
Suddenly, something went wrong.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
Disturbing a beautiful dream;
It's a mystery to me,
This mutiny at sea,
Who can it be?
A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own.
All at once a storm blew us apart,
And left me drifting alone.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
I'm captain without any crew;
But with love as my guide,
I'll follow the tide,
I'll keep sailing till I find you.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
Someone's invading my dream;
We were sailing along,
So peaceful and calm,
Suddenly, something went wrong.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
Disturbing a beautiful dream;
It's a mystery to me,
This mutiny at sea,
Who can it be? (Who can it be?)
A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own.
All at once a storm blew us apart,
And left me drifting alone.
Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
I'm captain without any crew;
But with love as my guide,
I'll follow the tide,
I'll keep sailing till I find you.

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/
