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.
But for the grace of God
She'd cry herself to sleep
Because the grace of God
Is something she can keep
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
It's for the good of you
I sing sweet melody
They'll cast the first stone
When the last one's out of reach
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
Forget where to begin
Brother I have not sinned
I have not
But for the grace of God
She'd cry herself to sleep
But now the grace of God
Is the reason that she weeps
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
When summer comes, light my life
Snow will melt away
When summer comes, light my life
Snow will melt away
I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again
Not into the world they put her in
I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again
Not into the world they put her in.
She'd cry herself to sleep
Because the grace of God
Is something she can keep
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
It's for the good of you
I sing sweet melody
They'll cast the first stone
When the last one's out of reach
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
Forget where to begin
Brother I have not sinned
I have not
But for the grace of God
She'd cry herself to sleep
But now the grace of God
Is the reason that she weeps
Oh, it won't be long
Until their hold is broken
Oh, it won't be long
Until we've found our home
When summer comes, light my life
Snow will melt away
When summer comes, light my life
Snow will melt away
I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again
Not into the world they put her in
I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again
Not into the world they put her in.

No Surprises

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
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
It's a beautiful song and the video clip just completes it. The video stars and ends with the girl being & staying alive... :) and there is always a turning back point, every time she would die, she'll be born at her happiest moment with her love... in the first verse The "Grace of God" are the goodness of life we enjoy freely, and love is that... so all she wants and all she knows is that free joy, free love & she keeps it.. :) . "Oh, it won't be long Until their hold is broken Oh, it won't be long Until we've found our home " . I have to interpretation in here: the first one would be, the thing that's keeping them apart is soon to be over and they would be together again permanently... (or they are together for that moment until they find their permanent home, meaning someone who they'll love for the rest of the life, they love each other now but they are in different dynamics of life at this point, which will explain why the guy keeps moving on his own way...) . "It's for the good of you I sing sweet melody They'll cast the first stone When the last one's out of reach " . and this is the hope zone, and never give up : "They'll cast the first stone When the last one's out of reach " ; so even when everything looks like its over they star it again be born again, like a never ending story... :) . "Forget where to begin Brother I have not sinned I have not . But for the grace of God She'd cry herself to sleep But now the grace of God Is the reason that she weeps" . here I see the guy's perspective; he too gets back to the same point of birth & joy & love, meaning he wants the girls and wants her to stay alive, he tries to find ways how to begin again and so she wont have to die bcoz he has not sinned... . "When summer comes, light my life Snow will melt away" . summer is always fresh and beautiful and all positive, so he waits summer in his life, snow will melt away, meaning the misunderstandings and "the thing" that holds them back will be gone, for summer is a new beginning for them both. . "I was born again, I was born again Not into the world they put me in She was born again, she was born again Not into the world they put her in " . so here is the freedom, they both be born again, be free to decide by choice and not by the circumstances "the world they put her/him in", and the video clip ends with the girl being alive, which confirms the 'being born again', they both are free to live by choice! . Awesome song, & this was my impression, hope you like it :)))
