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"
Tu me suis tu me souris dans la nuit tu me seduis
Je sais que tu sais que je ne sais plus qui je suis
Je t'aime tant, je t'aime tant pourtant
Comme le temps qui passe et ment j'attends
Toujours perdante tu me tourmentes
Et tes desirs me prirent pour me detruire
Je prends un certain plaisr a souffrir
A me punir a me repentir
Toujours soumise tu me meprises tu me rejettes tu me maltraites
Douleur et desir sont synonymes de mon plaisir
Je m'abandonne aux hommes sans souci ni tourment
Je me suis perdue sans retenue pour un jeune homme
Un peu hors de la norme
Tu me cherches tu me guettes tu me tiens et je me sens bien
Tu me prends si lentement je desapprends
Puis tu me rends mon tourment
Je serai ce qui te plait la lumiere sur ta peau
Celle qui t'attend a la porte
Et celle qui peu importe je serai ce que tu veux
La sueur sur ton front la brise dans tes cheveux
Ou celle qui te brisera le cou
Je te souris je te nuis je t'aime, je t'aime
Je te detruis je te tiens et tu viens
Tout est bien qui finit bien
Tu sais que je sais que tu ne sais plus qui tu es
Depuis que tu t'adonnes a nos petits jeux hors de la norme
Je te plais tu me plais
Nous sommes les amants du tourment
La nuit nous tuons l'ennui l'amour toujours nous suit
L'amour toujours nous fuit, l'amour toujours nous detruit
Comme la pluie et l'oubli comme des cris dans la nuit
Je t'aime tant je t'aime tant pourtant
Je t'aime tant, je t'aime tant
Je t'aime tant pourtant
Je sais que tu sais que je ne sais plus qui je suis
Je t'aime tant, je t'aime tant pourtant
Comme le temps qui passe et ment j'attends
Toujours perdante tu me tourmentes
Et tes desirs me prirent pour me detruire
Je prends un certain plaisr a souffrir
A me punir a me repentir
Toujours soumise tu me meprises tu me rejettes tu me maltraites
Douleur et desir sont synonymes de mon plaisir
Je m'abandonne aux hommes sans souci ni tourment
Je me suis perdue sans retenue pour un jeune homme
Un peu hors de la norme
Tu me cherches tu me guettes tu me tiens et je me sens bien
Tu me prends si lentement je desapprends
Puis tu me rends mon tourment
Je serai ce qui te plait la lumiere sur ta peau
Celle qui t'attend a la porte
Et celle qui peu importe je serai ce que tu veux
La sueur sur ton front la brise dans tes cheveux
Ou celle qui te brisera le cou
Je te souris je te nuis je t'aime, je t'aime
Je te detruis je te tiens et tu viens
Tout est bien qui finit bien
Tu sais que je sais que tu ne sais plus qui tu es
Depuis que tu t'adonnes a nos petits jeux hors de la norme
Je te plais tu me plais
Nous sommes les amants du tourment
La nuit nous tuons l'ennui l'amour toujours nous suit
L'amour toujours nous fuit, l'amour toujours nous detruit
Comme la pluie et l'oubli comme des cris dans la nuit
Je t'aime tant je t'aime tant pourtant
Je t'aime tant, je t'aime tant
Je t'aime tant pourtant

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
i wish i can understand french. can anyone translate it please..
ok, blanche, i'll try to help you despite my lousy french.
you follow me, you follow me in the night, you seduce me i know that you know that i no longer know who i am i love you, i love you so, however... like time that passes and i wait
always the loser, you torment me and your desires take a hold of me to destroy me i take a certain pleasure in suffering at punishing myself, at my repentance
always subjected, you take a hold of me, you reject me you treat me badly, pain and pleasure are synonym of my pleasure i abandon myself to men without worry or torment i lost myself with abandon to a young man a little outside of the the norm
you look for me, you watch me, you hold me and i feel good you take me oh so slowly, i lose myself and you bring me back
i will be whatever pleases you, the light on your skin the one who waits at your door the one who... whatever, i will be what you want the sweat on your brow, the breeze in your hair or the one that breaks your neck
i smiled at you, i love you, i love you so i destroy you, i hold you and you come all is well that ends well you know that i know that you don’t know who you are since you gave yourself to our little show out of the norm
you please me, i please you we are the lovers of torment at night we kill boredom, love always follows us love always escapes us, love always destroys us like the rain and forgetting, like the cries in the night i love you so, i love you so, anyway i love you so, i love you so i love you so, love you so, anyway
there are probably lots of mistakes, sorry.
Well done, very good translation! <br /> This song is really good!
