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"
Wait for everything evil in you comes out
I'll stain when we'll only motivate sound instead, Sergeant
Make for the table, in hopes that I won't be afraid again
Call when enabled and send the leader out against
I will stage a reenactment in a false pretense
Exist, inflict unworthy unconsciousness
Why debate when the action's suppressed then kill the acquitted?
Listen to the sounds that remain in question in hopes to solidify a truce
Amongst the children and the jury that stands the verdict
Alive here among the dead
Evolve, Monstar
Show me the things I've never wanted done
Evolve, Monstar
Do to me the things I never wanted done
I, I felt much better than this before
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay
Blood-hungry, cannibalistic, unfit family ties
In a series of knocks to the young girl's head side
Come write me a letter and paste it on my refrigerator door
Inspected inspector, I think we've found something over here
I, I felt much better than this before
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay
Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
Here, he did away with me
Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
Here, he did away with me
Stay until Wednesday
And write me a childlike letter, pretending
At war here in Thursday
Let's make this our last day at home by the Fence
Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run, down past the Fence?
Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run, down past the Fence? (FBI)
And she screamed, "Claudio, dear Claudio
I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe"

Why debate when the action's suppressed then kill the acquitted?
Listen to the sounds that remain in question in hopes to solidify a truce
Amongst the children and the jury that stands the verdict
Alive here among the dead

Show me the things I've never wanted done

@[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 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/
God you emo kids are fucking annoying, does it really warrant 100 fucking posts to argue over the definition of a three letter word, emo? No it doesn't. Who cares?
Props go out to hippos because, as far as my skimming could decifer, her seemed to be the only one with something wortwhile to say.
Coheed and Cambria are a very great band to have conversations about because of the sheer depth and prose of the lyrics. And you kids spend your time bickering about the meaning of emo, fucking stupid.
