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"
yo check it out this is Louis Logic
my man Celph Titled on the boards
J.J. Brown on the scratches
fuck all of ya actors, know what I mean? check it out
[Verse 1]
what I spit is slick like, porn star chicks and Vaseline
going down south like big mike
cause when it comes to pushin weight
my wax is like crack to fiends
you hafta like my craft and bytes out of the dat machine
nigga's afraid to play with me like magic's team
? star catchin purple hearts like Vietnam marines
they hate me but still buy, like nigga's and Koreans
it's a dirty business but my hand are clean
how many worthy critics on this green earth diss Louis flow?
kids you know would suck dick for a Louis Logic t-shirt
so it's gotta be worth spendin' the loot, on something
one hundred and seventy proof before I step in the booth
so pissed I never recouped
and if you ever get dissed it's me and family and friends in cahoots
so send in the troops like ?? renew tha niggaz
cuttin your balls off so you'll never produce
I'll put your head in a noose, not that I chill with the Klan
but I'm an extremely militant man
so down for the cause I spill on your fam
and just know before I beat ya I'll cheat like Hilary's man
[Chorus]
My squad is like vagrant, rewind to the streets and pavement
and try to stay bent, disguise the secret agent
motherfuckers are tryin to find out the plans to our mission
and the position of our secret hideout
{"Freeze!"}
{"Down on your knees"}
{"I never run when I'm in trouble"}
{"My enemies freeze"}
{"Secret"} {"Agent"}
{"Brothers in the place"}
{"Don't fight"}
[Verse 2]
I'm feelin' edgy abducting MC's in the back of a trunk
slappin you punks until you taste more blood than Dracula's tongue
so place no bets my effects is long range
short change try to come with it like payphone sex
I'm feelin Waco Tex
half loco and half postal from weeks after weeks of weak take-home cheques
and my work ethic is uninspired, yeah I'm admired
as a talented tongue for hire
but I'm one big liar, under fire with a sick sense of humor
I don't eat pussy I grew tired of the sick scent of tuna
I'm just waitin to invent a rumor that your a pervert
Swedish sherbet, affluent for sure the words hurt
hide your face in a paper bag
I humiliate MC's to the degree that they take the stage in drag
it's not too late to add, I'll diss you in your favourite mag
erase your ? as the latest ad
I mouth off to ?
to say that all fraudulent occupants
in this industry are reported as communist spies
I'm spittin' ominous lies like a compulsive
hover over your dead career ??
[Chorus]
{"Freeze!"}
{"Down on your knees"}
{"I never run when I'm in trouble"}
{"My enemies freeze"}
{"Secret"} {"Agent"}
{"Brothers in the place"}
{"Don't fight"}
[Outro]
Yo this is Louis Logical you know what I'm sayin'
I've been tellin niggaz....
head's is hungry like cats sleepin' in boxes and shit
motherfuckers need to pay the toll
before they cross the bridge.... know what I'm sayin'
get mistreated like foster kids
word is born
yo and we out
my man Celph Titled on the boards
J.J. Brown on the scratches

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 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/

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.
