This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I can feel it in the way your blood and heart beats
(My body's cold and it thinks that I'm already gone)
Or is it in the way your body moves?
(I'd like to tell you but I think that you already know)
The words I drag out from your mouth speak
(So listen up world, listen up world)
In her vision, I have given company
(They see no evil in leading their bodies from home)
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
(Ten Speed, if I must, then I must)
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
(If written wrote me even, if written wrote me even)
(If written wrote me even, if written wrote me even)
If written wrote me even chance and the choice to save you, oh
I wouldn't answer if it even had to ask
In her figure, I've instilled a taste of my own
(So listen up world, listen up world)
To make it easier to take what life I'm owed
(As the curse has returned from the hell of your heart and your soul)
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
(Ten Speed, if I must, then I must)
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
Ooh, ooh, nobody knows but you, ooh
Ooh, nobody knows but you
('Cause I don't want to ride tonight)
(No, I don't want to go) nobody knows but you, ooh
(I don't want to ride tonight)
(Or maybe I don't want to go) nobody knows but you
"Well, are you going to kill her off?"
"It's not your decision I love the character, so she stays"
"Yeah, well the only thing love's done is put you in this position, I say kill her off"
"Well, you say plenty of things and how's that work? You're a bicycle"
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
(Ten Speed, if I must, then I must)
Believer, you'll leave her in leaving them all
(No, but I don't buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
'Cause I'm Ten Speed of God's Blood and Burial

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Yeah, this is one of Coheed's new songs, which is going to be on the next album Good Apollo: I'm Burning Star 4
