This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No fear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could I know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures I take?
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing
Your feeling out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feeliings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feeliings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Burning my head
So many memories
No fear to shed

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.

While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
I really don't understand so simple minded guys as writers of the first 2 comments. This is power metal, but that doesn't mean it has to fall into stereotype (dragons princesses gold elfs metal warriors and so on) many power metal bands are falling in today. Every helloween's song has much deeper and philosophycal meaning.
This one is, to me, about soldier of some regime. He doesn't agree with things he's been ordered to do, it misses his aims... but his voice is without sound, his song is unheard which means that he cannot express his view cuz noone will listen, he has no power to change anything.
It's either about the sole survivor of a war or someone who feels they're the sole survivor of something like the world falling apart and is trying to get people to speak out xD
Maybe it's about an alien crash landing on earth and being left behind here before the time of humans and dinosaurs. XD
My guess is it's about a soldier that's in the war but it's not his choice. He's just a puppet there, serving a higher power.
It can also be a reflection on communism in warfare.

He was used as a slave to fight for their (corrupt goals) yet he doesn't know what the fuck he can do, nor do his "comrades" or brethren.
