Sit down in the carousel
Up front like a brave boy
Don't scream like a little girl
Shut up boys don't cry

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Keep up with the schedule
Shape up, have to perform
Hold out for everyone
Don't fail not now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not an option
Have to keep on trying

So much to live up to
So many expectations
Trying so hard to be approved
A straight A student with yet another F
Oh no gotta make daddy proud now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not an option
Have to keep on trying
So much pressure
Can't take this no more
The cause of death
Suicide

    "Come to a rest that flows from a spring unseen." Honestly do I have to say anything else. I love this song. Jesus has that rest for you. When all the world has its pressures on you He will be there. Talk to him and he will lift the pressure off. Cast your cares upon the Lord.

    CarolineO is right about the chorus,but I don't think the person in this song heeded the advice cuz they committed suicide at the end.This song kinda sends chills down my spine.

    this song is so amazing. i think that many people who've grown up in Christian homes feel so much pressure and they feel like they won't be accepted if they mess up (get an F instead of an A). Sad part is, sometimes it's true. Christians can be so quick to judge those who fall, but God just wants them to come back into His arms. Not give up.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

Amazing
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.
