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.
56 times in 81 seconds, something like this
This little pig has a mind of his own
This little pig thinks he's cool
This little pig thinks that he's all grown
And this little pig needs school
This little pig has something to prove
This little piggie, he wants to be down
Now this little pig wishes that he can undo
The little pig that he shot down
This little pig's on a mission
This little pig needs a plan
This little pig's got ambition
This little pig does what he can
This little pig's got cum on his hands
This little pig needs money to talk
This little pig comes up with a plan
This little pig whistling rock
This little pig thinks he's running the show
This little pig thinks he's king of the hill
This little pig, well he doesn't know
He's the next pig to be killed
56 times in 81 seconds
This little pig has a mind of his own
This little pig thinks he's cool
This little pig thinks that he's all grown
And this little pig needs school
This little pig has something to prove
This little piggie, he wants to be down
Now this little pig wishes that he can undo
The little pig that he shot down
This little pig's on a mission
This little pig needs a plan
This little pig's got ambition
This little pig does what he can
This little pig's got cum on his hands
This little pig needs money to talk
This little pig comes up with a plan
This little pig whistling rock
This little pig thinks he's running the show
This little pig thinks he's king of the hill
This little pig, well he doesn't know
He's the next pig to be killed
56 times in 81 seconds

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”

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'

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/
I like the humurous view on human beings striving in this song it's so funny, and true at the same time everyone is doing something... those who don't do anything.. better beware !
i'm not really sure what this song is about, but its awesome! its sounds really different, its like thrash funk
What could the "Fifty-six times in eighty-one seconds" part be about? (It's missing from the lyrics)
I believe that the line "Fifty-six times in eighty-one seconds" refers to how many times the LAPD cops struck Rodney King in the infamous incident back in 1991.
