Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Yeah! The power's flowin' through my veins
This power's real strange
You know that it seems like only yesterday
But it's broken through the night
What can I say?
Sit back, take a ride
Till we reach the other side
Cheap change, change the lock
I love the good times that you got
I'd like to play along
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
I don't care much anymore
What's this fighting for?
Now that I feel like
The earth is getting strong
It's really coming along what can I say?
Money walks, money talks
Money screams and money dreams
Cheap change, change the lock
The key's to keep me off the block
I'd like to come along
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
Gee, here's that feeling again
Ground zero to the very end
Hold on till I tell you when
Bigger boys have bigger toys
Show me yours I'll show you mine
I bet you will in time
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
Money walks, money talks
Money screams, money screams
Nothing's worse than having none
Money is the route of, the route of all fun!
This power's real strange
You know that it seems like only yesterday
But it's broken through the night
What can I say?
Sit back, take a ride
Till we reach the other side
Cheap change, change the lock
I love the good times that you got
I'd like to play along
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
I don't care much anymore
What's this fighting for?
Now that I feel like
The earth is getting strong
It's really coming along what can I say?
Money walks, money talks
Money screams and money dreams
Cheap change, change the lock
The key's to keep me off the block
I'd like to come along
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
Gee, here's that feeling again
Ground zero to the very end
Hold on till I tell you when
Bigger boys have bigger toys
Show me yours I'll show you mine
I bet you will in time
Money is the route of all fun
High stakes will get everyone
Nothing's worse that having none
Money is the route of all
The route of all fun!
Money walks, money talks
Money screams, money screams
Nothing's worse than having none
Money is the route of, the route of all fun!

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.
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/
