This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off
Your daddy better lock up his girl
Say a prayer boy, call on the cops
'Cause you ain't gotta run when the music comes on
Board up the doors, the windows
And keep your crying under your breath
'Cause I smell a drop of fear in a ten gallon tank
And I'm movin' in for the kill
Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
Which one of you sons of bitches
Is going to make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart attack? Whoa
It's a full moon, death in the sky
And the [Incomprehensible] circus is freaking out
Run for you life, cover your eyes
I don't want you to see me while I'm a little high
I've got a bone to pick with
The morning sun and the first five
But I didn't put my hair in a pony tail for nothing
So if I'm going home alone I'm not going at all
Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
Which one of you sons of bitches
Is going to make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get give me a heart attack?
Look away it's too much to bare
I've been bitten by the party animal
Save yourself, save yourself
And tell my baby that I loved her so
Don't cry, don't cry
I gave the world one hell of a time today
Don't regret a thing
Except for the times that I got caught givin' in
Hey, hey, hey
I never thought it would take
A hair [Incomprehensible]
So where are you supposed to escape
When the creature is lurking inside you?
Your daddy better lock up his girl
Say a prayer boy, call on the cops
'Cause you ain't gotta run when the music comes on
Board up the doors, the windows
And keep your crying under your breath
'Cause I smell a drop of fear in a ten gallon tank
And I'm movin' in for the kill
Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
Which one of you sons of bitches
Is going to make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart attack? Whoa
It's a full moon, death in the sky
And the [Incomprehensible] circus is freaking out
Run for you life, cover your eyes
I don't want you to see me while I'm a little high
I've got a bone to pick with
The morning sun and the first five
But I didn't put my hair in a pony tail for nothing
So if I'm going home alone I'm not going at all
Yeah, in the wild kingdom
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
You don't live 'til you're ready to die
Which one of you sons of bitches
Is going to make me feel alive?
Which one of you motherfuckers
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get inside my heart
Is going to get give me a heart attack?
Look away it's too much to bare
I've been bitten by the party animal
Save yourself, save yourself
And tell my baby that I loved her so
Don't cry, don't cry

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
