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"
This is where my story begins
Standing here with you
I'm about to give in
And I'm gonna give all I can give
Even though in previous relationships
I might have been mischievous
I wasn't already ready
I admit to this
But what a good feeling it is
I've had a lot of crushes
Close to nothing like this
Everytime the subject would come
I made up every excuse that I could think of
I used to run but now I'm getting warmed up
In a few words this feeling I could sum up
I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'
I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'
I need
I was hangin' out with my friends
Seven nights a week
If there's a party I'm in
I started getting sick of it
But when I looked back I didn't know what it meant
I guess I wasn't interested
In finding something real
Though I was looking for it
You should've been looking for me
But you opened up my eyes
And now I can see
And everytime the subject would come up
When they say "I love you"
Then I only dumb up
A lot of guys
A girl or shut up
But you're the only guy that told me your love was endless
A lot of words with feeling can not sum up
But first I had to figure out who I was
To try and understand that there ain't no shortcuts
Now the only thing that's missing is your love
I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'
I need love
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin'
I need
Slow dance, hold hands
All I want is romance
If it's real, let me know it's real
Baby take a chance
'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me
Slow dance, hold hands
All I want is romance
If it's real, let me know it's real
Baby take a chance
'Cause I been looking for a man who could understand me
And I got a lot of love to give
Baby don't you hear me
For the first time in my life
I need love
Oh I need
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin
I need
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin
I need
For the first time in my life
I need love
Ain't no love up in the club
I need love
Want to cuddle up to somethin'
That make me feel like I'm somethin'
Gettin' sick and tired of frontin

Slow dance, hold hands

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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'

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/
This song describes how i'm feeling right now.
