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 Top Becomes The Bottom
The Fantasy Becomes Reality
The Conceptions Change
The Landmarks Dissolve
And All Becomes Intermingled
To Flirt With The Dispicable
In A Trance Without End
Where The Ice Burns
Like Glowing Embers
And Where One Shatters
By Fits And Stars Of Sperm
The Morale Of Men
Serve Another God
Lose Another Dream
Sentiments Imprison And Leave
Their Victims Without Defence
Love Is A Prison Which
Flourishes In The Heart Of The Weak
From The Lower World We Direct
The Attraction Of The Distasteful
Makes Us Ignore The Vile
Since Only From Below
Can One Better See The Heights
The Fantasy Becomes Reality
The Conceptions Change
The Landmarks Dissolve
And All Becomes Intermingled
To Flirt With The Dispicable
In A Trance Without End
Where The Ice Burns
Like Glowing Embers
And Where One Shatters
By Fits And Stars Of Sperm
The Morale Of Men
Serve Another God
Lose Another Dream
Sentiments Imprison And Leave
Their Victims Without Defence
Love Is A Prison Which
Flourishes In The Heart Of The Weak
From The Lower World We Direct
The Attraction Of The Distasteful
Makes Us Ignore The Vile
Since Only From Below
Can One Better See The Heights

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is another song about homosexuality from samael:
Top becomes the bottom (in male female sex the male is usually the top, in gay sex the male can be bottom)
The Fantasy Becomes Reality (engaging in the fantasy of gay sex) The Conceptions Change (the conception of being only with a woman changes) The Landmarks Dissolve (the pivotal landmarks such as marriage, having kids changes in homosexual relationships)
And All Becomes Intermingled (there is no longer clear boundaries that love has to be between a man and woman, now it can be between a woman and woman, or a man and man) To Flirt With The Dispicable (refers to flirting with a something that is hated such as a gay man, this theme of struggle of sexual idenities is a reoccurent theme shown through samael music) In A Trance Without End (this line identifies that the person is having feelings that consumes with out end) Where The Ice Burns Like Glowing Embers (these lines are about ice burning, which shows that two things that are not suppose to happen with each other, gay sex is not suppose to happen either) And Where One Shatters By Fits And Stars Of Sperm (this is about having sex with men and having an orgasm) The Morale Of Men (this is questioning whether homosexuality shatters the illusion of what is moral to men)
Serve Another God (this refers to choosing religion and false rules of man over self) Lose Another Dream (if you do this you will lose all hope of reaching the dream of being at peace with your true self)
Sentiments Imprison And Leave Their Victims Without Defence (the ability to love who you want and coming out leaves you no defense against the critical world eyes) Love Is A Prison Which Flourishes In The Heart Of The Weak (Being free to be gay and love who you want to puts you in a prison of judgemental society, but it allows you to love instead of being entrapped by hate, the heart of the weak is that gay people are seen as being weak)
From The Lower World We Direct The Attraction Of The Distasteful (attraction to the same sex) Makes Us Ignore The Vile (this means to ingnore the vile religious text that teaches hate towards gays and society who closed thier minds to accepting others) Since Only From Below Can One Better See The Heights (if you allow yourself to be free you can see the heights that you can reach-happiness
