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 am strong in his hands
I am beyond me
On my own I'm human
And I do faults
I do confess
I feel you trickling
Down my shoulders
From above
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
I turn myself in
I give myself up
Volunteer
You own me : I'm yours
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
You have to trust it
I'm eternally yours
All that I gave them
I gave to you
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
So needy of comfort
But too raw to be embraced
Undo this privacy
And put me in my place
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Generous palm stroke
The hugest of hugs
Undo this privacy
Embrace
Embrace me
Embrace me
Embrace me
Eeeeeemmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
I am strong in his hands
I am above
Way beyond me
I, con
She's strong in his hands
She is beyond her
On her own she is human
And she does faults
I am beyond me
On my own I'm human
And I do faults
I do confess
I feel you trickling
Down my shoulders
From above
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
I turn myself in
I give myself up
Volunteer
You own me : I'm yours
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
You have to trust it
I'm eternally yours
All that I gave them
I gave to you
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
So needy of comfort
But too raw to be embraced
Undo this privacy
And put me in my place
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Generous palm stroke
The hugest of hugs
Undo this privacy
Embrace
Embrace me
Embrace me
Embrace me
Eeeeeemmmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
I am strong in his hands
I am above
Way beyond me
I, con
She's strong in his hands
She is beyond her
On her own she is human
And she does faults

No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
I just noticed this, and some people may take issue with it; in fact I kind of take issue with it, because I think I know a bit about her world view. But can anyone catch even the slightest hint of an underlying Christian theme.
I was surprised to have the same reaction as Lightbulb Sun. Although she seems to have rejected the idea of a Christian God (for now), this song actually is the closest I have heard of hers acknowledging our Fallen nature before God: <br /> <br /> 2 Corinthians 12:9, "[The Lord] said to me 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." <br /> <br /> see Mother Heroic too
