I feel lost in myself, there's an alien in me
Who are you? Who am I? Blood is that I see
The words in the mirror are making me shiver

Save me with your love tonight
Come and bring me back to life
(Alien)

I lay down on the edge, feel my whole life on rewind
See your face in the crowd a million times
I'm drownin', I'm Fallin', I hear myself calling

Save me with your love tonight
Come and bring me back to life
Save me with your light tonight
You can make the darkness shine

Come and kill the dream gone bad
Alien to love
Come and wake me from the dead
Alien to love, to love
Need your love

Save me with your love tonight
Come and bring me back to life
Save me with your light tonight
You can make the darkness shine

Come and kill the dream gone bad
Alien to love
(Alien)
Come and wake me from the dead
Alien to love, need your love

    My Interpretation

    This song is really pretty, but really simple. Nothing too cryptic to me.

    The narrator is lost and fallen. He doesn't know himself anymore. I think the "blood" line paints it out to be pretty dark. Is it his own blood (cutter)? Or is it someone else's (turned killer)? I lean more toward the second option, but it's intentionally vague so someone can interpret it the way they want which is always nice. Whatever his demon is, he's calling out to his love to save him from it and bring him back to life.

    I think its about how someones world fell apart when their lover broke up with them.

    Save me with your love tonight Come and bring me back to life --A plead, asking them to come back, so their world won't be so painful.

    I lay down on the edge I feel my whole life on rewind See your face in the crowd A million times Im drowning, Im fallin I hear myself callin --Looking over the memories that they had, both good and bad.

    Im not exactly sure. These lyrics can be put into different meanings. Literally (xD), Theoretically, Figurativley.. ect ect.

    I think that this song is about the narrator not recognizing his inner self anymore, and is reaching out for some kind of help... possibly from somebody he loves or is close to, or trying to reach the person who he actually is, getting in touch with that person, and becoming that person again.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
