Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
It's the whisky and the water
Fire and ice
No pleasure without sacrifice
Shore and the ocean
The moon and the sun
One without the other and both are done
{Chorus}
Now I believe what's supposed to be
Supposed to be you and me
I'm with you forever
Cause we're the best when we're together
I'm with you forever
You are the only one and we've just begun
Let the wave and your ocean fall on my shore
Your glass is empty, I'll pour some more
I left the table with lack of a muse
Give me some time to search for you
{Chorus}
There are mountains that reach to the sky
That I would climb to find you
If you forget I will do my best to try to remind you
{Chorus}
Fire and ice
No pleasure without sacrifice
Shore and the ocean
The moon and the sun
One without the other and both are done
{Chorus}
Now I believe what's supposed to be
Supposed to be you and me
I'm with you forever
Cause we're the best when we're together
I'm with you forever
You are the only one and we've just begun
Let the wave and your ocean fall on my shore
Your glass is empty, I'll pour some more
I left the table with lack of a muse
Give me some time to search for you
{Chorus}
There are mountains that reach to the sky
That I would climb to find you
If you forget I will do my best to try to remind you
{Chorus}

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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/
