This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's a gap in the 20th century,
and it fills the world with dreams;
When you've got the looks then the rest just works,
if that's what it's like
Then hold on tight 'til you can't even breathe,
Another record shop story that was born to die
It'll come unreal, and we're losing time
Maybe got swinged from a baby's hand,
too young to understand
all there is to know, to lose your soul
Alien cracked down from planet call,
unhappy with your bag and stars.
They search for the one,
then wrap her around the sun
You know who we are
We'll be as fast as a day that outside your door
And it all has changed forever more, with you
It's why I've got to know the truth
Was it you, who sang in Xanadu?
And maybe got swinged from a baby's hand,
We're too young to understand
All there is to know,
if you're gonna lose your soul
Guess I got my feet in the sky,
and I wonder why,
You'll be the one that used to go,
I'm the only star who wants to know
and it fills the world with dreams;
When you've got the looks then the rest just works,
if that's what it's like
Then hold on tight 'til you can't even breathe,
Another record shop story that was born to die
It'll come unreal, and we're losing time
Maybe got swinged from a baby's hand,
too young to understand
all there is to know, to lose your soul
Alien cracked down from planet call,
unhappy with your bag and stars.
They search for the one,
then wrap her around the sun
You know who we are
We'll be as fast as a day that outside your door
And it all has changed forever more, with you
It's why I've got to know the truth
Was it you, who sang in Xanadu?
And maybe got swinged from a baby's hand,
We're too young to understand
All there is to know,
if you're gonna lose your soul
Guess I got my feet in the sky,
and I wonder why,
You'll be the one that used to go,
I'm the only star who wants to know

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”
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/

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.
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.
Amazing song, thanks for trying at the lyrics! They look pretty accurate.
I think this song is about what effects they fear their possible future success in indie music might have on them. Some of the lyrics seem to be making fun of the process your average indie band goes through on their way to the "top": you fit a passing trend, hipster mags hype you up, and you're briefly cool until something new comes along and no one cares enough to remember the chorus to your big single anymore. It's making fun of the shallowness of the whole process.
"If you've got the looks, then the rest just works" -90% of success in music is superficial. If you look cool enough and pose right, who cares if you kind of suck? "Another record shop story that was born to die." -Referring to the ephemeral nature of success? "We're too young to understand. All there is to know, if you're gonna lose your soul." -Obviously, this is about them being young, inexperienced, and worried about the future. I think the "lose your soul" part means that they're afraid of selling out, or of getting too caught up in the pursuit of being a "cool" band. Will success change them? They'd like to think not, but they have no way of knowing.
Who knows. A lot of the lyrics in here are just nonsense, but I think my interpretation kind of makes sense. If I'm right, it's kind of interesting that they were pretty accurate in their prediction of what would happen to them.
If you look closely at the quotes you have used for examples, they could be interpreted both ways: Love/music industry critique. I naturally heard it as a dreampop romance with the stars, with a girl, through the stars and history. But maybe that's just easier to relate to.<br /> <br /> <br /> There are some beautifully poetic lines in this song: <br /> <br /> "And the one has changed forever more, with you.<br /> It's why Ive got to know the truth.<br /> Was it you, who sang in Xanadu?"<br /> <br /> It would be sublime to be lucky enough to write something as nice as that one day.
I like the interpretation but this was the 90s back when indie was different than it was today.
