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.
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
I'm dangerous
You better stay away
Stay away from me
I'm dangerous
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
Your a lone hitchhiker
And I'm a traveling truck
You better not get on this ride
You might lose your luck
I'm dangerous
You better heed the signs
That's coming across both nights
Starlight in years
I'm slippery and wild
Caution and red flags
I'm gonna cross that line
I'm dangerous
So don't you
Don't you say maybe
Baby I'm crazy
Crazy for wanting
Wanting you badly (badly)
Badly I'm serious
And you're so curious
But I'm too dangerous
You better not kiss me once
You better not fall in love
I'm a pterodactyl
And you're a wondering dove
I don't mean to be greedy
But it's never enough
I'm dangerous
I tell you I love you
And I believe it's true
Or that I'll do something
So bad to you
And you'll say I hate you
And you'll be screaming in a dream
Where no one can hear you
So don't you, don't you say
Maybe, maybe I'm crazy
Crazy for wanting, wanting you
Badly, madly I'm serious
And your so curious
I'm too dangerous
You're idealistic
So filled with glee
You see me as your shiny prince
But I'm a treacherous king
You'll accept my olive branch
But I'm poison ivy
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
You better stay away
Stay away from me
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
I'm dangerous
You better stay away
Stay away from me
I'm dangerous
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
Your a lone hitchhiker
And I'm a traveling truck
You better not get on this ride
You might lose your luck
I'm dangerous
You better heed the signs
That's coming across both nights
Starlight in years
I'm slippery and wild
Caution and red flags
I'm gonna cross that line
I'm dangerous
So don't you
Don't you say maybe
Baby I'm crazy
Crazy for wanting
Wanting you badly (badly)
Badly I'm serious
And you're so curious
But I'm too dangerous
You better not kiss me once
You better not fall in love
I'm a pterodactyl
And you're a wondering dove
I don't mean to be greedy
But it's never enough
I'm dangerous
I tell you I love you
And I believe it's true
Or that I'll do something
So bad to you
And you'll say I hate you
And you'll be screaming in a dream
Where no one can hear you
So don't you, don't you say
Maybe, maybe I'm crazy
Crazy for wanting, wanting you
Badly, madly I'm serious
And your so curious
I'm too dangerous
You're idealistic
So filled with glee
You see me as your shiny prince
But I'm a treacherous king
You'll accept my olive branch
But I'm poison ivy
I'm dangerous
So dangerous
You better stay away
Stay away from me
I'm dangerous

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/
