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.
Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man
Has gotta deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
'Cause it's all about the dog in me, mm-mm
I want to freak in the mornin'
A freak in the evenin', just like me
I need a roughneck nigga
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cause I'm that kind of girl
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing
'Cause I will be a freak until the day, until the dawn
And we can (boom, boom) all through the night 'til the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the hood on a gangsta lean
'Cause we can (boom, boom) any time of day, it's all good for me
Boy, you're moving kind of slow
You gotta keep it up now, there you go
There's just one thing that a man must do, mm-hmm
I'm packin' all the flavor you need
I got you shook up on your knees
'Cause it's all about the dog in me
I want to freak in the mornin'
A freak in the evenin', just like me
I need a roughneck nigga
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cause I'm that kind of girl
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing
'Cause I will be a freak until the day, until the dawn (oh yeah)
And we can (boom, boom) all through the night 'til the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the hood on a gangsta lean
(Take you around the hood, babe)
'Cause we can (boom, boom) any time of day, it's all good for me (it's all good)
'Cause I will be a freak until the day, until the dawn
And we can (boom, boom) all through the night 'til the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the hood on a gangsta lean
(Take you around the hood, babe)
'Cause we can (boom, boom) any time of day, it's all good for me
(It's all good for me)
One to the two, to the two, to the three
Adina, do you wanna get freaky with me?

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
