The world is watching us from a distance
Wanting more from their own existence
Tell me how do we make a difference
For eternity does anybody want to know why we're alive

Oh oh oh oh
What's the purpose of this life?
Oh oh oh oh

Before I die and I leave the world behind
I want to know why I'm alive

You're created for the creator to live inside
There's a hole in your soul and I know that you try
To fill it with every little thing but the very one who can heal it
And bring hope to a world that wants to know why they're alive

Spirit cry for this generation (generation)
We're chasing the wind trying to embrace it
Open our eyes to all the lies that we try to justify when deep down inside
All we want to find is someone that loves us all of the time and it's you

Yea it's you oh oh
Only you
Yes it's you oh oh oh
You're beautiful came down from heaven just to save my save my soul
Beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
You're so beautiful
The people of this world are praising you and they are
Beautiful oh oh oh oh
You're so beautiful came down from heaven just save my save my soul
Beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
Now I'm beautiful

    I love how he goes from verse to chorus. Good song. Obviously about God and spirituality. This guy has alot of faith. I am not an extremely religious person, I wonder why this guy has so much faith....experience....family teachings....overzelous church? Not saying he is wrong....just wondering.

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/
