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"
Hypnotic,
Hypnotic,
You get your kick off
With little bit a hip hop
We rock the rooftop
The super sounds that you love
Zap, we back
And pappa's got a brand new bag
Full of tricks, beat the kicks
Rocking and shocking the hops the hips
The funky chicks
We change the riffs
Fashion, passion, misfits
Stand up proud, have no doubt,
Come on, shout it out!
I'm the real deal when I come around,
I freak you out, coming over ground
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic, hypnotic
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
You get your kick off
With little bit a hip hop
We rock the rooftop
The super sounds that you love
I'm so blinded by the dazzling lights
I'm only guided by rhythms of the night
Hot bodies all around
Make me think I've found, the beat
And a heart synchronized (??) with mine
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
You get your kick off
With little bit a hip hop
We rock the rooftop
The super sounds that you love
You get your kick off
With little bit a hip hop
We rock the rooftop
The super sounds that you love
Bound, to break
The boundaries, the estimate
The fool's roots
We overtake, we renegades stormin' the place
Breakin' and shakin' and chasing the bass
Bringin' it up on the front page
We're back, on time that is the sound
Come on, freak, sing it out
I'm the real deal when I come around
I freak you out, comin over ground
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
Thrills, the chills, dominate the sex appeal,
Surreal, with the funk I feel, rebellious rockers acting ill.
Escapades and matinee's the breaks from the rat race,
The sound, the scratch, electroclash, the revelation, kickin' ya ass!!
The new phenomenon taking over town,
Feel the force, coming over ground.
I feel so electric, it really blows my mind
The kind of electric, I just take off and fly
Hot bodies all around
Make me think I've found, the beat
And a heart synchronized (??) with mine
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic, hypnotic
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic, hypnotic
Hypnotic!
Hypnotic,
You get your kick off
With little bit a hip hop
We rock the rooftop
The super sounds that you love
Zap, we back
And pappa's got a brand new bag
Full of tricks, beat the kicks
Rocking and shocking the hops the hips
The funky chicks
We change the riffs
Fashion, passion, misfits
Stand up proud, have no doubt,
Come on, shout it out!
I'm the real deal when I come around,
I freak you out, coming over ground
Ooh, how you make me feel
Hypnotic, hypnotic
Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic (get ready!), hypnotic (jump on it!)

With little bit a hip hop

The super sounds that you love
I'm so blinded by the dazzling lights
I'm only guided by rhythms of the night

Ooh, cast a spell on me,
Hypnotic, hypnotic

@[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.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
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.
