I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searchin' for my own space
Hoping to see the signs I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the right way
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without this, feels like it's all just a game
You're standing where I see a solution, you are the problem
Should I go or stay?
Trying to find a way
So I can move my heart
And walk past open doors
Saying something so I know where the end is
With or without the effect of a casualty
You're standing where I see a solution, am I the problem?
Should I go or stay?
Yes I'm trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there, you there standin'
Holding an open door
Wish I could walk on past it, I want more
Hoping to see the signs
Hoping to feel the right way
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I would hold it, I could just pretend
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my mind
I just wanna speak my, mind
Trying to find a way
So I can keep on searching for my own space
Hoping to see the signs
I see you there standin', was it worth standing?

I see too many open doors
Wish I could walk on past it, but I want more
Hoping to see the right way Wanting to find the way
'Cause I'm trying to find my way

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
