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"
Logos is the king of life
Always under the bed
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Who gives us the drive
We need to stay
Anything we find out
Always drives us away
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all decay
Everything was bathed in light
Everything loved it's way
Everything makes sense when you
Look at it from another way
Logos is the king of life
Leads away decay
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all that decay
Spirits drifting in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Always under the bed
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Who gives us the drive
We need to stay
Anything we find out
Always drives us away
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all decay
Everything was bathed in light
Everything loved it's way
Everything makes sense when you
Look at it from another way
Logos is the king of life
Leads away decay
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all that decay
Spirits drifting in the night
Will they ever find their way?

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'
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/

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.
Logos is the king of life Who gives us the drive We need to stay Anything we find out Always drives us away
you could look at this as meaning the more we find out, the less we know... or the more we need to know. so we never lose our drive, or desire, by attaining our destination.
another way of looking at it might be that if we were to achieve our goals, find the answers, what would keep us going? it calls to mind the Nietzsche quote "He who attains his ideal by that very fact transcends it." an ideal is never attained. it is only strived for, or worked towards. i'm using the word "ideal" in a very broad sense here. once one "attains his ideal," or finds anything out, he is driven away... to a new ideal, a new search. so, ultimately, we don't really want to find out. we thrive on not knowing, and in the constant process of learning and discovering.
Everything was bathed in light Everything loved it's way Everything makes sense when you Look at it from another way
every thing is bathed in light, from some angle, to someone. there is no wrong way, because everything has it's own way. there is nothing that does not make sense, looked at from some point of view, from a certain perspective. it's like a room with a million windows... everyone's going to look in and see the same thing, differently.
