This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
it's all i can do
not to trust you
for all of my muscles,
i'm a clam too
dear sarah, you know
i didn't love you
dear pilot, collect
yourself, there's turbulence ahead
everthing's moving like arrows;
try to grab one
everthing's moving like arrows;
try to grab one
catch me in your teeth,
like a bullet
don't bother if you
can't live through that
putting me into a cannon
with a damp fuse
baby, i won't be taking off
ha ha, you lose
i'll be
staying right here, crammed
into the tube, i
can't really breathe, but
i'm still with you, that
makes it all worth it
sun starts to dry it,
nothing could stop it,
taken for granted;
do you wash your two hands
two hundred times now
that i'm gone?
(straight and narrow)
keep your hands where
i can see them
(eyes will follow)
i'm watching your every move
(move away from me)
easy in, easy gone
(for so long)
and i won't forget, i promise i've kept
such careful records
my favourite was when
you asked if you could
tie me to the bed,
tie me to an arrow
air traffic gets thick,
and you control it
kiss me on the chin
as a goodbye
what's that whizzing above us?
planes, or black flies
who's that sleeping above us?
what a surprise.
if the
pressure's too much, just
throw in the towel
throw up your hands, there's
no shame in quitting,
better than watching
everything falling
apart all around you,
like so many arrows
losing their feathers
mid-flight
(straight and narrow)
keep your hands where
i can see them
(eyes will follow)
i'm watching your every move
(move away from me)
easy in, easy gone
(for so long,
straight and narrow)
keep your hands where
i can see them
(eyes will follow)
i'm watching your every move
(move away from me)
easy in, easy gone
(for so long)
and i won't forget, i promise i've kept
such careful records
not to trust you
for all of my muscles,
i'm a clam too

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/

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
