Is everybody on the same page?
Is it safe to say we're all sick and tired of living this way?
Sick of swallowin' lies, sick of followin' trends
Sick of swallowin' pride, sick of followin' them
Tired of falling in line, not speaking your minds
Tired of askin why, and gettin no reply
Try to keep the drive
Seems so hopeless right?
Anything is possible if you and I can rise.

There's a life they see in you
Despite your inner ???
Lifes the inner few, gotta fight for being you
It's like the western view, we rest and never move
Sip the nectars brew, and enjoy the better view
Cause who's gonna say it?
Come on, who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna make it happen?
Who's gonna save us from...us?
When the time comes, when the time runs out
Let the crowd die down, everyone gather round

[Chorus]
Are we gonna take it? No
Not for a damn thing
Not for anybody
And not for any reason
Then how we gonna make it? (make it)
When no one even cares? (even cares)
Aren't you tired of being patient? (Yeah!)
Stand strong and be prepared (be prepared)

Stop, take a minute off from life and just
drop everything thats got you trippin its not
A great commitment of times and we've got
To get ourselves realigned
Each day we wake, same old mistakes
Keep on this pace, or lose this place
We choose to make, this life this way
And despite the stakes, still live as slaves
Behave as though outside a window
Not in this rows of roads, littered with condo's
City lights that glow, a bitter light composed
of lost souls, dyin souls who profit off our woes.

Oh hey now, I kinda like the way the bass sounds
Play aloud and give me time to wind the day down
Stay around awhile and we can sit about
and talk speak your mind let it out and we can set it off
Just get it off your chest, fuck stayin' depressed
Put it all to rest, and rise about your nest
Don't settle for less, come on make some noise
Renovate the mess, and let me hear your voice

[Chorus] - 2X

    "Anything is possible if you and I ?corrage?" is "Anything is possible if you and I can rise"

    "Lifes the inner few" not to sure but i think its either "Lifes the inner fuel" or "Lights the inner fuel"

    "Oh hey now, I kinda like the way your faith sounds" should read "Oh hey now, I kinda like the way the bass sounds"

    I think thats all of them, still have no idea what he says at the end the second line of the second verse

Little Feat
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
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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
