This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You're like Voodoo baby you just take hold
Put your cards on the table baby, do I twist, do I fold?
You're like Voodoo honey, all silver and gold
Why don't you tell me my future why don't I sell you my soul?
So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums)
Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
You've like Voodoo Baby, Your kisses are cold
Fell your poison running threw me, let me never grow old
You're like voodoo honey, my pictures you stole
You play me like a puppet, stick in pins like a doll
So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums)
Baby baby baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
Hear come the drums here come the drums
Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
Baby, baby, baby, I just take hold
Do I twist do I fold?
Put your cards on the table baby, do I twist, do I fold?
You're like Voodoo honey, all silver and gold
Why don't you tell me my future why don't I sell you my soul?
So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums)
Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
You've like Voodoo Baby, Your kisses are cold
Fell your poison running threw me, let me never grow old
You're like voodoo honey, my pictures you stole
You play me like a puppet, stick in pins like a doll
So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums)
Baby baby baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
Hear come the drums here come the drums
Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe maybe
It's supernatural I'm coming undone
Baby, baby, baby, I just take hold
Do I twist do I fold?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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/

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 heard this song on Doctor Who and I really loved it since it went so well with the scene.
first one to comment lucky me.this is my song because im a witch and my boy always asks me if i do voodoo on him to make him love me its sorta our joke so this song he could sing to me luv it.
This song reminds me of Bellatrix Black...I swear Voldie puts voodoo on Bella to make her act the way she does...other than that, it's a kickass song!
