I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too
And I need to do what I feel like doing
So let me go, and just listen
All you people look at me like I'm a little girl
Well did you ever think it'd be ok for me to step into this world
Always saying little girl don't step into the club
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why 'cause dancing's what I love
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy
What's practical is logical, what the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there
I'm a slave for you, I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it
Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age
(Let's go)
(Like that)
(You like it)
(Now watch me)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(I just can't help myself)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(I just feel I let myself go)
I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(Wanna see you move)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(Uh uh uh)
Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh, baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age
I'm a slave for you (take that) I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave (it just feels right) for you (it just feels good)
I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it (baby)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
I'm a slave for you (here we go now)
I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, (here we go) I won't deny it, (yeah)
I'm not trying to hide it
(Like that)
And I need to do what I feel like doing
So let me go, and just listen
All you people look at me like I'm a little girl
Well did you ever think it'd be ok for me to step into this world
Always saying little girl don't step into the club
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why 'cause dancing's what I love

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

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.
Man, if shes tryine to tell everyone that shes not a little girl anymore, it definetly worked. (Not in a good way, either)
