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.
O-M-G! You done lost yo' motherfucking mind!
You must have lost yo' mind
You must've just lost yo' mind (yo' mind)
You must've just lost yo' mind (yo' mind)
They told me bout all the lies (the lies)
I took you back all those times (times)
You must have lost yo' mind (lost yo' mind)
You must've just lost yo' mind (yo' mind)
That Chloe crop bag ain't mine (wasn't mine)
Many earrings must I find (I find)
You must've just lost yo' mind
I could shed so many tears
But I won't let you see me crying
Now it all adds up (hey)

Let me exactly hear (oh)
But you you wonder (yea)
I know how my mama felt (yea)
Getting ran over (yea)
But this ain't a cycle here (oh)

Excuses after excuses (you lost yo' mind)
Pretending that we exclusive (you lost yo' mind)
I stuck around all these years (you lost yo' mind)
I dried and cried all yo' tears (oh, oh)
I trusted (oh) you despite my fears (oh)
And I (oh) refuse (oh) to keep (oh) on trying (oh!)
Now that it's over (hey)
I can move on boy (yea)
Glad that it's over (oh)
So glad that it's over (yea)
You just confirmed it (hey)
This ain't a warning (yea)
Ya living a double life (oh)
You must've lost ya mind! (yea)
You (oh) must (oh) have (oh) lost (oh) yo' (oh) mind (oh)

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.
haha this is the shit.
