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"
Light came through a crack in the wall
That red sun slowly rose
At the break of dawn they came, for us
For a while we were safe and sound
Came like theives and robbed our town
Of all the life, of everything we knew
Living versus the dead
Pray to your god
Hell is on it's way home
? (Swirling?) like a rancid fog in the world that we knew
Was raining blood.
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew the day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)
Crimson irises, the army of the infected
They smelled our scent, sensed our fear
They knew where we were!
They understood the light (?)
?? Crimson red with blood (?)
They came through the door like a flood (like a flood)
A force too strong to handle
We were trapped like a candle surrounded by demons that don't want the light
They darkened our armor, ? (The demons?) see through the night
Come through hell or high water
Though never leave one another alone
This plague has taken control, of us
Come through hell or high water
???
???
Light came through a crack in the wall
That red sun slowly fell down
And we devoured all that we could, oh yes we did
we can nurse ourselves in all the blood, biting each and every one
The army of the infected
WE ARE THE INFECTED
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew this day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew this day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)
That red sun slowly rose
At the break of dawn they came, for us
For a while we were safe and sound
Came like theives and robbed our town
Of all the life, of everything we knew
Living versus the dead
Pray to your god
Hell is on it's way home
? (Swirling?) like a rancid fog in the world that we knew
Was raining blood.
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew the day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)
Crimson irises, the army of the infected
They smelled our scent, sensed our fear
They knew where we were!
They understood the light (?)
?? Crimson red with blood (?)
They came through the door like a flood (like a flood)
A force too strong to handle
We were trapped like a candle surrounded by demons that don't want the light
They darkened our armor, ? (The demons?) see through the night
Come through hell or high water
Though never leave one another alone
This plague has taken control, of us
Come through hell or high water
???
???
Light came through a crack in the wall
That red sun slowly fell down
And we devoured all that we could, oh yes we did
we can nurse ourselves in all the blood, biting each and every one
The army of the infected
WE ARE THE INFECTED
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew this day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)
Here we are (Here we are)
We knew this day would come
Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)

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'
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
