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"
one hell of a heartbreak, maybe i'm one hell of a scar. we say these words with heavy hearts, you build me up to watch me fall apart. and i guess my greatest regret is not just losing you, but losing you as a friend. i want that back
so speak your mind, tell me why we used to share secrets and now we share distance. we both know this isn't the way it should be.
let go of the hate, let go of the pain. we were kids back then. we've made our mistakes, now time has changed, we've aged, do you still feel the same way.
don't make this awkward baby. talk like adults and maybe we'll get some closure, or just get over. the passion of those actions that spoke louder than words than we've ever heard and i'm listening.
so speak your mind, tell me why we used to share secrets and now we share distance. we both know this isn't the way it should be.
let go of the hate, let go of the pain. we were kids back then. we've made our mistakes, now time has changed, we've aged, do you still feel the same way.
you were my confidence and my only consequence now is how i'll never forget this. you were my confidence and my only consequence now is how you were worth every minute. as we tried to say goodbye there wasn't a dry eye in the room, but then again it was just me and you.
let go of the hate, let go of the pain. we were kids back then. we've made our mistakes, now time has changed, we've aged, do you still feel the same way. cause i still feel.

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
I totally agree with Worldxwarxme, It's definitly about him losing touch with one of his best friends, and they are clearly distant from each other and he misses it. And he's asking them to forget about the past, they were kids and they made mistakes, and thats what kids do.
