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"
[THE DISCIPLES OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
Since before mankind hurled himself
squamously from the sea we have awaited
the awakening of great Zakumakura!
Now... the Dragon-King shall at last rise to claim his earthly throne!
Cast your gaze to the firmament and know fear,
for His forces fill the sky!
Behold, the armies of war descend screaming from the heavens!
[THE ORDER OF KL'AA:]
Your legions will fall as wheat before the harvest blade.
The long aeons of tyranny are at an end...
now, let the Ninth Millennium begin.
[THE DISCIPLES OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
The Ritual of Ascendency is complete.
Now is the time for trenchant steel and the massed throng of battle!
Cry havoc! Crush them, kill them, destroy them all!
[THE INVOCATION OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
Kaiju, Dragos, Gojira! Kaiju, Dragos, Gojira!
[THE DISCIPLES OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
You have lost the game, fools of Kl'aa!
Your attempts to thwart our will have come to naught!
You are guilty of dire crimes against His Ophidian Majesty!
The charge is high treason against the empire...
you will bear this punishment with praise on your lips!
[THE INVOCATION OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
Zakumakura Es-iaah! Zakumakura As-aaoh!
[THE ORDER OF KL'AA:]
High treason against the empire...
Bah! A thousand curses upon the coils of Zakumakura!
The power of Sentinel Omega shall be brought to bear against you!
[THE DISCIPLES OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
Invoke the Dragon-King...
and let the great serpent rise to devour the world of men!
Hearken... he rises, he rises at last!
Behold the celestial majesty of Great Zakumakura!!!
We are all entwined within the coils of the great galactic worm!
[THE ASPIRANT TO SENTINEL OMEGA'S POWER:]
Elemental disarray...
chaos beyond the Tellurian cloudscape!
The galaxy burns! I am the receptacle of the ultimate power...
the power of Sentinel Omega...
I am the vessel of his greatness! I am the One!
[THE DISCIPLES OF ZAKUMAKURA:]
The galaxy is their battleground...
the stars are their arena! Let mankind despair in the knowledge
that this day did see an end to his insignificant dominion...
and the birth of a new era of glory for the servitors of the Dragon-King!
[SENTINEL OMEGA:]
I feel it... the omniverse exists within me!
Every molecule in my body is ablaze with cosmic fire!
I have forsaken my humanity forever...
I, who now walk with the gods amongst the endless stars!
Since before mankind hurled himself
squamously from the sea we have awaited
the awakening of great Zakumakura!
Now... the Dragon-King shall at last rise to claim his earthly throne!
Cast your gaze to the firmament and know fear,
for His forces fill the sky!
Behold, the armies of war descend screaming from the heavens!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
