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"
Garden Of Imagination - SHE BECOMES EMPTINESS
Intro:....I watched my love fly away From my so fragile hands...
She doesnt want me no more...How could she when she was the only 1 I ever adored,
One life, One dream, I lived for her & not me...
(all the feelings that i had for her...now is broken forever!)
This is where she left me....
leaving an agony deep within....
{Tears were falling from my face, As She sealed with her empty embrace)
Verse: (Oh oh...growl.........)
I was the one responsible to wipe away all her tears...
I paid by True Love those 2 years...
but she denied my commitment so easily
& left me here to die in a Life of misery....
Bridge/Dialogue: This inner lament of my soul....
will make me cross this immense confusing world.....
Living through HER memories, Some tears that i held have been released,
Now i know Everythings left behind her vein pray,
thats why I chose a new way....
And so between Now & then, This is the end,
SHE BECOMES EMPTINESS all my life.........As I watched her go away
She slowly fades away, Love! I watched her go away..
She lost me by egoism..By this her stupid ego she loses everything
Lost me beyond retrieval.....
That's why I said..."Even I'll go & be with you no more"
She was my everything,
but She becomes nothing...
(SHE BECOMES EMPTINESS...Empty as I've become.)
SHE BECOMES EMPTINESS...
She slowly fades away...Into the Nothingness
SHE BECOMES my EMPTINESS , SHE BECOMES my EMPTINESS
She slowly fades away...Far from my visions
She lost my love...She lost a friend
And this is the end...Of my reverend...

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”
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/
