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"
If I retreat, words, wars and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
You're the galantine, cold and alone, it suits you well
Won't find me perching here again
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out with a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they'll always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out with a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight
Make room we're taking over here
You're the galantine, cold and alone, it suits you well
Won't find me perching here again
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out with a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to hell
Where they'll always have belonged
Cold hearts brew colder songs
Fate will play us out with a song of pure romance
So, stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight, kill tonight
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight

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/

This is one of the worst Smashing Pumpkins covers I have ever heard.
okay.I've never heard their version of this song. But I'm sure they butchered it. I have both of P!ATD's cd's,and their a good band. But Smashing Pumpkins is the greatest band ever and no one could come close to this,one of the most beautiful songs ever made. Leave Smashing Pumpkins to the Smashing Pumpkins!
That Jon was born in a city by the lake.
i disagree with white_striped, its an amazing cover, if you see the DVD that came with the p!atd boxset, they sing it amazingly =D
This song has always held a special meaning to me... Panic! really did do an amazing job with it. Billy Corgan said himself that he liked the cover version of the song. I love how Brendon's voice brings that little something extra to it... it just makes the song all the more important to me.
lmao!!!!! what a lame cover of the smashing pumpkins! i saw the live version and it sounds like urie was gargling something. wtf!? lol. and the worst part was that the following song sounded just like the regular recording. crappy cover for sure..
brendon has nothing on billy!
come on.. the cover is great & they played it so good live with all the instruments i heard one version where brendon's voice is a little weird but there's another one that is really cool
i love it:) i think they did a good job
I love this cover, I heard this (on their myspace) before I heard the original version by SP! It's not their best performance and Brendon can occasionally sound like he has his balls in a vice but the song is just great.
I could have sworn they say "the place where you were born"...?
sorry for being such a dueche but its the truth.
