Lovers in Captivity

Ima Robot

Oh babe
The intoxication
Is gone
We got
Morals
But there?s no consolation
Where we go
We got
Car crash
Contemplations
And that?s wrong
We got
Wrought iron
Aggravations

In this home
We?re lovers in captivity
Yes I have her and she has me
Won?t you like to come and see the place that we call home?
We?re lovers in captivity
We?re dying from eternity
Hurry up to come and see the lovely couple moan.

Do you remember when?
Our sweet
Desperation
Was strong
There were hours of
Pure sin
Operation
Uh hu
We never had
Much luck
With all the conversation
Uh uh.
But girl now,
Think it?s time
We talk emancipation
From this home

We?re lovers in captivity
We?re dying from eternity
Won?t you like to come and see the place that we call home?
We?re lovers in captivity
We?re comfortable with enmity
Hurry up to come and see the lovely couple moan
We?re lovers in captivity
Yes I have her and she has me
Won't you like to come and see our model bungalow.
We?re lovers in captivity
We?re dying from eternity
Bring your kids to come and see
This lovely couple moan

Well, it?s been fun
Hahaha
I?m only laughing cause I?m nervous
But I do have to say this
Ahem
Bye baby bye bye
I?m going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I?m going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I?m going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free
Bye baby bye bye
I?m going free
Bye baby bye bye
Love has got to be free

Just called to say
Just called to say
Love you for the rest of my life
It?s cold in space
So won?t you stay?
I?ll always be a lover in captivity.

Cajun Girl
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.
